Bricks are a widely used construction and building material around the world. Bricks are prepared from natural waste material which comprises of orange peels and coconut waste. Clay is used as a binding material for natural waste material and paper mill waste. The main objective of the present study is to reduce the quantity of clay with natural waste material. The orange peels and coconut wast...

In tensile tests the PP/flax fiber composites clearly shows a nonlinear behavior in loading and hystheresis loops in unloading. In creep tests performed at different load levels the response was nonlinear viscoelastic, and after recovery, viscoplastic strains were detected. No degradation in stiffness could be seen and thus nonlinear viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity were assumed to be the ma...

Figure 1. True and Approximate distributions. Graphical models representing the distribution of random variables in a layer (We have left out the hyper-parameters on δ and v). Left: True distribution. Right: Approximate distribution. As previously noted, the random variables associated with each layer of our model can be treated independently of the others. Following the notation introduced in ...

Through a twin-screw extrusion process the native structure of sunflower oil cake was completely transformed (globular protein denaturation/texturization and husk fiber defibration) into a simpler matrix-fiber structure, as could be seen on SEM micrographs. Further chemical reduction of protein disulfide bridges greatly reduced the melt viscosity of the moistened composite that it could be inje...

Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is a relatively new surgical approach which uses no external incisions, thereby improving cosmetic outcomes, decreasing overall recovery time and reducing the risk of external infection. In standard NOTES, flexible endoscopic tools have been used to carry out a variety of surgical procedures in the abdomen. As an alternative, miniature in ...

In this section, we provide the further details of the dataset statistics. The description length. We first analyze the description length (i.e., the number of words in a description). Figure 1 shows the distribution of the number of words in a description. We can see that our dataset contains various lengths of descriptions. The average length of descriptions in our dataset is 13.1. We also sh...

Here we will give full details of model compared in Section 2 of the main paper. In general, all training data were randomly sampled patches from the Berkeley Segmentation training set images, and all test data was sampled from the Berkeley test set images (that is, testing was always done on unseen patches). We removed the DC component of all patches. The test set consists of a 1000 patches fr...

Hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolite with high crystallinity and excellent hydrothermal stability was directly synthesized in the nanoscale confined environment provided by the natural layered material kaolin.

dual spacization of publishing means emergence of digital publishing in online and offline virtual environments along with analogue publishing. analogue publishing is a kind of publishing that is produced in the form of physical printed writings as they appear in a single paper, single or many pages newspapers and magazines and books, writings on leaves and pieces of trees, natural skin and lea...
