Intracranial foreign body granulomas are rarely reported. Clinical symptoms caused by foreign body granulomas can be noticed from months to many years after surgical procedure. The most common reported etiology is suture material. A 45-year-old woman was presented with grand mal epilepsy. She was operated for brain tumor 19 years ago. In CT scan, a round radio-dense mass resembling a tumor at a...

This research aims to analyze the environmental impact of six fibers in textile industry: conventional and organic cotton, silk, jute, flax, polyester. The study used a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology with cradle-to-gate system boundary analyzed stages agriculture, spinning, weaving, dyeing. In agriculture production, five categories (i.e., fossil resource scarcity, global warming, land...

1) After warm opening remarks, the Chair invited Mr. Alois Schönberger, Chair of the Private Sector Advisory Panel (PSAP) to deliver the report of the PSAP to the Plenary Meeting. Mr. Schönberger noted that the reserve policy of the Government of China has many impacts on the world cotton market: prices remain above average even though stocks are record high; prices of cotton are above those of...

Bast fibers, such as ramie, hemp, flax and kenaf, are natural fibers with high specific stiffness strength that have gained increasing attention in recent years. advantageous terms of their biodegradability abundance nature, making them promising candidates for automotive industry, structural composites, pulping textile applications etc. There is a strong desire from industry yielding cellulose...

Thickening compositions of a new composition for printing mixed fabrics based on cotton and nitron fibers have been developed. The influence the components dampening rheological properties depending their concentration was studied. Established development thickening its physico-chemical properties.

In the context of sustainable development which is a balancing act between the fulfilment of human needs and the protection of the natural environment, the use of natural fibers such as coir in geotechnical applications is desirable. Reinforcing the soil with coir fibers/coir geotextiles is a cost effective solution to the ground/soil improvement problems. The effects of fiber parameters on the...
