Studies on physical properties of wine palm and Roselle natural fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2019
In this work, fiber strands of Wine Palm (Caryota urens) and Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) plants were extracted and characterized. The extracted fiber strands were given water treatment for making comparisons with its dried counterpart.

The Response to Fines and Probability of Detection in a Series of Experiments [PDF]

We use traffic data from a series of experiments in the United States and Israel to examine how illegal behavior is deterred by various penalty schemes and whether deterrence varies with age, income, driving record and criminal record.

Bioprocessing of bamboo materials [PDF]

, 2012
Bamboo culms were processed using microorganisms, and fibre bundles were obtained. Bacteria and fungi with xylanase activity were isolated from the bamboo retting system.

Linking Process‐Induced Degradation to Mechanical Property Deterioration in Flax Fiber–Reinforced Bio‐Polymer Matrix Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...

Evaluating mechanism of banana pseudo-stem retting using seawater: A cost-effective surface pre-treatment approach

Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts
Retting has been employed to extract natural fibers from agricultural wastes as a biological and cost-effective approach for centuries. With its global abundance, banana pseudo-stem is a promising agro-waste for lignocellulosic fiber extraction.

Impact of the sand bed on stability of cobblestone pavement

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2014
The observation of public transportation bus bays in Lublin (and probably in other cities) made of concrete or stone blocks pavement shows that on many streets it is not very durable.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of ulnar innervated muscles in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Quantitative muscle ultrasound (qMUS) provides morphological measurements that can support clinical observation of muscle atrophy and weakness. As the use of qMUS continues to expand, and its potential for broader implementation in neuromuscular evaluation grows, there is a clear need for further validation, particularly in ...

Drying Behavior of Flax Stems at Different Degrees of Dew Retting Under Simulated Rainfall: Implications for Smart Agriculture and Sensor Development

Agriculture
Dew retting of flax stems is a key agricultural process which facilitates fiber extraction from parent stems. If sensors are to be developed to monitor the degree of retting for optimal fiber extraction, then stem characteristics such as water uptake and

Xanthatin‐13‐(Pyrrolidine‐2‐Carboxylic Acid), a Sesquiterpene Lactone Isolated From Burdock Leaf, Attenuated Aβ25‐35 Toxicity and Memory Deficits in a Pharmacological Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe form of dementia, which occurrence increases with age and lifestyle conditions. It is characterized by amyloid protein accumulation forming senile plaques, hyperphosphorylated tau protein forming neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress, leading to synapse loss and cell death ...

Retting of Bast Fiber Crops Like Hemp and Flax—A Review for Classification of Procedures

Fibers
The interest and thus the number of publications on the supply chains of bast fiber plants has steadily increased in recent years. A number of specific technical terms related to methods and their use for individual areas of the supply chain are often ...
