It further discusses important aspects of digital manufacturing, advanced composites, artificial intelligence, and modern manufacturing processes.

The SRY protein has only one coding region and it is devoid of intron. PCR-SSCP analysis revealed nine polymorphic patterns in the SRY gene locus. The data presented provide a comprehensive view of the amino acids encoded by the SRY gene in the Indian Murrah buffaloes. A considerable change was observed in the amino acid production by the codons of the SRY gene between the Indian Murrah buffaloes and the Chinese Swamp buffaloes at nine different places. Any primer pair out of three sets of designed primers in this study can be used further for sexing of buffalo embryo/prenatal sexing. The study showed that there exists considerable genetic variation for SRY gene among the Murrah buffaloes which needs to be explored further in future studies with large samples.

The drilling process produces burrs on exit surface of a work piece. The exit burr is the material extending off the exit surface of the work piece. Their effect on products is important because they may cause some critical problems such as the deterioration of surface quality, thus reducing the product durability and precision. Burr formation affects work piece accuracy and quality in several ways: dimensional distortion on part edge, challenges to assembly and handling caused by burrs in sensitive locations on the work piece, and damage done to the work subsurface from the deformation associated with burr formation. The optimization results showed that the combination of low cutting speed, low feed rate, and high point angle is necessary to minimize burr height.

Sewage sludge as an uncalled for product of wastewater treatment poses the challenge to society of disposing of it. Application of sewage sludge to agricultural land may be beneficial because it can improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils which may enhance crop growth. While, sewage sludge contains various heavy metals and it contains a wide variety of pathogens and can be infectious for different species of animals and plants as well as for humans. Consequently environmentally sound decisions need to be based on an integrative evaluation of contaminant sources and transfer pathways. It is a need of time that phytoremediation must be approached as a multidisciplinary research effort. Success will ultimately depend on the employment of a holistic approach to integrate the work of plant biologist, soil microbiologist, agronomists, and environmental engineers.
