Due to the serious problem of plastic pollution in aquatic environment, many people reject packaging favour glass containers which are considered more sustainable. To avoid misjudgements, sustainability assessment alternatives should be carried out with a life cycle thinking approach. In this regard, study presents comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) two alternative systems for drinking wat...

Recent research on creative thinking has implicated conceptual expansion as potential cognitive underpinnings. These theories were examined within the context of a laboratory study using two divergent thinking prompts. Participants generated alternative/creative uses for a brick and for a glass bottle (separately) for two minutes and responses were time-stamped using a Matlab GUI. Semantic dist...

the identification of different species of simuliidae, also called “black fly”, is based on particular structure of oral and terminal appendages of their larvae add also on the special morphology of adults and pupaes. because of their considerable flight range, the problem of finding their resting places, and also the difficulties of collecting the adult flies, breeding of this insect, in the l...

An in vitro gas production technique was used to evaluate the effects of different adsorbents on the gas production parameters of lead-exposed diet. Ruminal fluid, obtained from fistulated sheep (3-4 years of age and 40±5 kg BW), and experimental diets samples, 200 ± 0.2 mg DM, were incubated in 100 mL glass bottles. To each bottle, one of the following treatments was applied: 1) control (no Pb...

Why do we study Is the a acoustic structure in which we are interested to use it for communication? Certainly, belongs to a natural class of acoustic patterns about which we know very little, nam'ely, structured over time by mechanical events--such as a footstep on hand paper, a glass bottle bouncing or breaking communication) 0 If we knew more about the temporally and ly distributed acoustic p...

hundred eggs on a bit of cheese-cloth. In the case of Papilio ajax, a breeding cage was employed and a sprig of wild parsnip was placed in its best lighted corner. The result was excellent. In order to rear larvae, the bits of leaves with attached eggs were placed on fresh food plant in tin cans covered with pieces of glass. The plant in this case was also kept in a curved-necked bottle. This t...

This qualitative case study seeks to understand and explain the deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in two countries (i.e., in Taiwan for the adoption of electric scooters and in Finland for supporting glass bottle recycling) using the “Technology-Organization-Environment” theoretical framework. This study also seeks to highlight the relevance and importance of pursuing ...

Rhinovirus infection is typically associated with the common cold and has rarely been reported as a cause of severe pneumonia in immunocompetent adults. A 55-year-old previous healthy woman, who consumed half a bottle of alcohol daily, presented with respiratory failure after one week of upper respiratory infection symptoms. Radiography revealed bilateral, diffuse ground glass opacity with patc...

As a general rule normal saline is employed which has been made up by the hospital dispenser and stored in glass-stoppered hottles. As these are not sterile on the outside. the usual procedure is for a nurse who has not scrubbed up, to pour the saline into a sterilized undine or container. In doing this there is a. very good chance that she will contaminate the neck of the bottle with her finge...
