The tensile properties of natural plant fibres are commonly determined by single fibre testing. cross-sectional area used to determine the modulus and strength is usually obtained measuring width using this as diameter on assumption that circular in section. circularity reasonably true for synthetic but not correct fibres, can lead a substantial error when determining fibres. incorporation corr...

Abstract Research into low-cost housing solutions, especially for low- and middle-income countries, has grown in recent years. Greater use of natural materials, both mineral bio-based, offers opportunities more affordable sustainable materials products. In the residential buildings are too expensive most people due to concrete buildings. Utilisation agricultural wastes can serve a threefold pur...

Microplastics have been detected all around the globe in freshwaters which are frequently used to produce drinking water. Therefore, contamination of raw water with microplastics that supplies treatment plants, and their removal efficiency is raising more concern interest. In present study, we evaluated microplastic a conventional plant (Geneva, Switzerland) contribution coagulation on filtrati...

Abstract The site Zamostje 2, located in Sergiev-Posad district of Moscow (Russia) on the west bank Dubna River, has provided two Mesolithic and one Early Neolithic occupations dated from 7000 to 5400 cal BC. Thanks waterlogged environment, an exceptional preservation. yielded fishing screens, fences, wooden traps, several small cordage remains elaborated with plant fibres, pine bark floats, fr...

The superminimality of the fibres of an almost contact metric submersion is used to study the integrability of the horizontal distribution and the structure of the total space.

A high-fibre diet and one rich in fruit and vegetables have long been associated with lower risk of chronic disease. There are several possible mechanisms underpinning these associations, but one likely important factor is the production of bioactive molecules from plant-based foods by the bacteria in the colon. This links to our growing understanding of the role of the gut microbiome in promot...

Banana, a tropical and subtropical plant of genus Musae consists of highly vascular system. The study of chemical composition on banana stem reveals the presence of nearly 62% of cellulosic fibres in it. For this reason it has been used as reinforcing fibres in the formation of composites. The present paper deals with the preparation of biocomposite and nanobiocomposite from banana plant fibre ...

This study presents the pattern of exposure to uranium and other occupational pollutants known to be potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic and used at the main uranium conversion plant in France. For different uranium compounds specified according to their solubility and purity, and 16 other categories of pollutants: chemicals, fibres, vapours, dust, and heat a time- and plant-specific j...

Wild Indigo or Purple Tephrosia or fish poison occurs throughout the Indian subcontinent. It is widely used in the treatment of inflammation, diabetes, rheumatism, asthma, diarrhoea and many other ailments. But so far the pharmacognostic standardization has not been reported for its proper identification. Hence the present study is a pharmacognosy work carried out for the root part. This may he...
