The influence of lubricating coolant and processing modes on surface roughness during face milling of workpieces made of aluminum alloys by A. G. Kisel, D. S. Makashin

“…As a result of the research, it is found that coolants affect the quality of the resulting surface in different ways. The best surface quality is obtained at a cutting speed of V=283 m/min and a feed of S=0,02 mm/tooth using a BIOSIL-S coolant, which is due to rational cutting conditions and the physical properties of the coolant. …”

Diet-related dental wear in archaeological human populations of Chalcolithic and Bronze Age from North-Eastern Romania by Ozana-Maria Petraru, Luminița Bejenaru, Mariana Popovici

“…Dental macrowear is the non-pathological loss of hard tissues on the occlusal surface of the teeth. In archaeological contexts, the loss of tooth tissues is often correlated with lifestyles, habits, and with the physical properties of the consumed food - including preparation techniques. …”
