BI-LAYER HYBRID BIOCOMPOSITES: CHEMICAL RESISTANT AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

BioResources, 2012
Bi-layer hybrid biocomposites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique by reinforcing oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and jute fibre mats with epoxy matrix. Hybrid composites were prepared by varying the relative weight fraction of the two fibres.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...

Quantification of Palmar and Digital Epidermal Thickness and Sweat Duct Density

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palmar digital skin, with its high density of epidermal sweat glands and unique stratum corneum, derives its autonomic innervation from peripheral nerves. Understanding the changes to these structures could serve as objective proxy markers following peripheral nerve injury and interventions to promote regeneration.

Donor‐To‐Recipient Mean Axonal Count Ratios of Upper Limb Nerves Used in Nerve Transfer Surgery: A Systematic Review of Histomorphometric Cadaveric Studies

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nerve transfer surgery may be performed to restore sensorimotor function following peripheral nerve trauma or dysfunction. There is biological plausibility and limited correlative evidence that donor‐to‐recipient axon count ratios may impact functional outcomes.

Phenolic‐Associated Dietary Fiber Ingredients From Agro‐Industrial Residues: Processing‐Dependent Identity and Food‐Grade Translation

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Agro‐industrial residues contain dietary fiber and phenolics, but coexistence alone does not establish a phenolic‐bound ingredient. Processing‐dependent identity is verified through fraction‐specific analysis and common‐basis mass balance. Food‐grade translation requires final‐product performance, sensory acceptance, safety, and claim‐matched ...

The Effect of Fibre Direction on the Mechanical Properties of Polyester Matrix-Based Palm Oil Fibre Composite

Journal of Renewable Energy and Mechanics
The increasing use of composite materials, especially for the two-wheeled vehicle industry, requires an in-depth study of fibre direction. Where the fiber direction can determine the occurrence of initial damage to the composite material. This study aims
