and humans are identical at 80 percent of the positions (3). Single-celled organisms‚ such as yeasts‚ have one or two actin genes‚ whereas multicellular organisms have multiple actin genes (3). For instance‚ humans have at least six actin genes‚ which are divided into three classes: alpha‚ beta and gamma (2). Although the actin isoforms exhibit minor sequence differences‚ they have different functions that can not be substituted by one another in vivo (3). In general‚ alpha-actin isoforms (α-skeletal

The major function of ball mill lining board is to protect the cylinder of ball mill from the direct clashing and friction of grinding media and material inside ball mill. Meanwhile‚ the ball mill lining board with different shape could be used to adjust the moving pattern of grinding media inside ball mill to strengthen the grinding effect of grinding media to material and increase the grinding efficiency of ball mill and output of ball mill. With the number of ball mill manufacturer’s increasing
