Performance of Fibreboards Made from Wetpreserved Hemp

Study on Performance of Concrete Made from Sewage Sludge Ceramsite

In this paper, using sewage sludge carried out to manufacture high performance ceramsite. At the same time, the performance of concrete made from sewage sludge ceramsite was analyzed. The results show that the ceramist is mainly composed of cristobalite and mullet, and has dense enamel structure on surface and honeycomb closed fine porous structure in internal. Too large ceramsite size can caus...

Performance of High-strength Concrete Made with Recycled Ceramic Aggregates

Recent scientific concerns to achieve sustainability in construction have suggested the implementation of using recycled aggregate in concrete because it has the potential to reduce the demand for extraction of natural raw materials and decrease the volume of wastes landfilled. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile (CT) and ceramic sanitary (CS) w...

Viking and early Middle Ages northern Scandinavian textiles proven to be made with hemp.

Nowadays most plant textiles used for clothing and household are made of cotton and viscose. Before the 19th century however, plant textiles were mainly made from locally available raw materials, in Scandinavia these were: nettle, hemp and flax. It is generally believed that in Viking and early Middle Ages Scandinavia hemp was used only for coarse textiles (i.e. rope and sailcloth). Here we pre...

An Introduction to Industrial Hemp, Hemp Agronomy, and UK Agronomic Hemp Research

Reviving hemp.

A method is described enabling the direct measurement of vincristine resistance in intact tissues in vivo by morphological study. Using the metaphase arresting properties of the drug, counts were made of escaping anaphase and telophase mitotic figures at a range of doses. The proportion of post-metaphase mitotic figures is called the post-metaphase index (PMI). In 95 primary intestinal tumours ...
