Wood products may help to avoid fossil emissions when they substitute for more fossil-intensive products. However, the estimates of avoided attributed wood use tend be based on incomplete market assumptions. are assumed fully non-wood products, yet substitution rarely occurs 1:1 and can also each other. This study outlines a systematic procedure grounded economic theory approximating existence ...

Recovery of six anaerobic and five aerobic pathogens from viscose swabs and polyurethane swabs (Culturette EZ) was evaluated quantitatively, and transport in aerobic dry tubes, aerobic Amies transport medium (Transwab), and anaerobic universal transport medium (Port-a-Cul) was compared. The Culturette EZ in aerobic dry tubes gave the highest recovery levels. Data obtained with clinical specimen...

The present work deals with the preparation of chemically and enzymatically eugenol-modified chitosan its application as a green coating on viscose for potential production medical textiles. elemental composition was determined by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) spectroscopy. Moreover, potentiometric titration used ...

Lyocell fiber has emerged as a new generation of green due to its preparation process and unique properties in comparison with viscose fiber. The raw material for the great impact on quality finished product. However, unlike viscose-grade dissolving pulp, there is no evaluation system Lyocell-grade making it difficult assess material. This study examined approach upgrade paper-grade pulp Under ...
