In the 1950s, married women in Netherlands were assimilated into fixed ideal of heteronormative family and traditional housing standards which norm; single not. Single represented not only a separate category post-Second World War society but also stigmatised one. What was woman without man? Women simply expected to live alone. mid-twentieth century, however, high-rise residential projects desi...

The land disposal of waste and wastewater is a major source of N2O emission. This is due to the presence of high concentrations of nitrogen (N) and carbon in the waste. Abattoir wastewater contains 186 mg/L of N and 30.4 mg/L of P. The equivalent of 3 kg of abattoir wastewater-irrigated soil was sieved and taken in a 4-L plastic container. Abattoir wastewater was used for irrigating the plants ...

To solve the problems of high temperature and drought in Xinjiang Turpan area low survival rate melon seedlings transplanted into dry soil, existing transplanters for large plant type young can be mechanized. For non-destructive planting small types, such as Hami seedlings, there are still poor transplanting effects, point precise pile-soil, other problems. In this study, a water transplanter l...

The complexity of analog VLSI systems is often limited by the number of pins on a chip rather than by the die area. Currently, many analog parameters and biases are stored off-chip. Moving parameter storage on-chip could save pins and allow us to create complex programmable analog systems. In this paper, we present a design for an on-chip nonvolatile analog memory cell that can be configured in...

In the present study, a novel catalyst was well designed by incorporating the tungstophosphoric acid into the magnetic chitosan, as highly stable composite, in which the iron oxides were used the strong super-magnetic core. The prepared composite was characterized by several methods, including FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM and EDS and its catalytic activity was examined in a facile, green and highly effi...

Dialkyl hexane-1,6-dicarbamate was synthesized, for the first time, by a one-pot reaction of 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA), urea, and alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol, in a self-designed batch reactor, using zinc-incorporated berlinite (ZnAlPO4) as a catalyst. The yield of dibutyl hexane-1,6-dicarbamate (2) was systematically investigated as a function of Zn/Al molar ratio...

Ethyl maltol and iron complexes are products of ethyl maltol and the iron found in the cooking pots used to prepare the Chinese dish, hot-pot. Because their safety is undocumented, the toxicity study of ethyl maltol and iron complexes was conducted in male and female Kunming (KM) mice. The animal study was designed based on the preliminary study conducted to determine the median lethal dose (LD...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate acceptability, compliance and attitude towards the use of iron pots compared with aluminium pots, for cooking in a community that traditionally did not use iron pots. DESIGN Randomised trial. SETTING Two rural Malawian villages. SUBJECTS Fifty-two households received iron pots and 61 aluminium pots. RESULTS Pot characteristics were assessed by a questionnaire after...

Zinnia is a very attractive and beautiful ornamental plant due to the diversity of color and flowering period. The effect of cycocel and pot size was studied on growth and flowering of zinnia in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete design with two factors: cycocel at 3 levels (0, 1000 and 2000 ppm) and pot size at 4 levels (10, 12, 14 and 16 cm) with 12 treatments and 3 replica...
