Abstract About 80% of environmental performance is determined during product development. This study assesses impacts wood-plastic composite (WPC) boards still in development, to identify impact hot spots and improvement potentials. A seven-step approach ecodesign implementation was used. It identifies derives strategies. life cycle assessment (LCA) according ISO 14040 conducted quantify potent...

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) are used to produce wood plastic composites (WPC) with improved electrical and thermal conductivity. The polypropylene/wood/GNP hybrid produced by melt compounding followed hot pressing. effect of GNP loadings (5, 10 15 wt%) on conductivity, tensile properties, degradation WPC containing 20 wt% flour is studied. fast slow cooling rates during pressing the surface re...

In humans, sexual differentiation of the external genitalia is established at 7-12 weeks post conception (wpc). During this period, maintaining the appropriate intrauterine hormone environment is critical. In contrast to other species, this regulation extends to the human fetal adrenal cortex, as evidenced by the virilization that is associated with various forms of congenital adrenal hyperplas...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of high pressure and the addition of non-meat proteins on the physico-chemical and binding properties of restructured pork. Pressurizations were carried out at up to 200 MPa and non-meat proteins used as a binder were isolated soy protein (ISP), sodium caseinate (SC), whey protein concentrate (WPC) and egg white powder (EWP). The pH values of...

In this research the 2 sub verities of Rhizopus oligosporus was used for production of antioxidative bioactive compounds from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and apple pomace. Total phenolic compounds, free radical scavenging ability by DPPH and antioxidant protection factort were evaluated in 48 determined treatments. Effect of Incubation temperature in three levels 23, 27, 31°C, incub...

Background Human and cell culture studies have demonstrated that phosphatidic acid (PA) can increase muscle mass and anabolic signaling, respectively. However, no in vivo evidence to date has examined whether PA can increase intramuscular anabolic signaling in vivo. The purpose of this study was to examine – a) if PA feeding acutely increases post-prandial muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and ana...
