In this study, PP films were modified with an organic pro-degradant in different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 wt.%), exposed in the first step of degradation to natural ageing for 100 days followed by biodegradation in simulated soil in the respirometric test for 100 days. At the end of the combined degradation process the PP samples were characterized according to their morphological and physica...

nanocomposites based on polyamide 6/polypropylene  )pa6/pp 67/33) blend containing 2.5 to 10 phr of nano-caco3  and 5 phr of maleated polypropylene )pp-g-mah) as compatibilizer were prepared by melt compounding followed by injection molding. the mechanical properties, water absorption, as well as shrinkage behavior were characterized and the morphology was studied using scanning electron micros...

Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) are the most common childhood and adolescence malignancy respectively.Due to the increasing survival of these children, today late side effects of treatments are important. Therapies such as corticosteroids, cytotoxic and radiotherapy effect on bone density and put the child at risk of osteoporosis and pathologi...

Education of Defectives in the Public Schools. By Meta L. Anderson. Yonkers, N. Y.: World Book Company, 1917. Pp. xvii+104. Miss Anderson has set forth, in a thoroughly practical way, the methods used by teachers of defectives in the more progressive American cities. A serious weakness in her book, is that she ignores nearly everything that has been accomplished outside of Newark, N. J., Vinela...

We show that uniform families of ACC circuits of subexponential size cannot compute the permanent function. This also implies similar lower bounds for certain sets in PP. This is one of the very few examples of a lower bound in circuit complexity where the uniformity condition is essential; it is still unknown if there is any set in Ntime (2 n O(1) ) that does not have nonuniform ACC circuits.
