The digestibility and passage of an experimental diet was used to compare the digestive physiology of two Propithecus species: P. verreauxi and P. tattersalli. Though both animals have a similar feeding ecology, the captive status of P. verreauxi is considered more stable than that of P. tattersalli. The test diet included a local tree species, Rhus copallina, at 15% of dry matter intake (DMI) ...

Accumulation of Aluminium (Al) at concentrations far above 1,000 mg kg-1 in aboveground plant tissues of Arbor aluminosa (Symplocos) species is the main reason why traditional Indonesian weavers rely on their leaves and bark as a mordant for dyeing textile. Recently, Symplocos species have become a flagship species for the conservation efforts of weaving communities due to their traditionally n...

In this investigation dyeing of alginate fiber was carried out after cationic treatment of 11 EPTAC (2, 3-Epoxypropyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride). Optimum dyeing process and 12 parameter show good dyeing performance when alginate fiber dyed with rhubarb dye. In addition 13 to cationic treatment is taken into account for alginate fiber to improve fastness, color strength, 14 breaking strength. ...

Introduction Polyester is a general name given to the fibers usually made from polyethylene terephthalate having ester functional group in their main chain and formed through the polycondensation reaction of a glycol (or diol) with a difunctional carboxylic acid (or diacid) (Edlund and Albertsson 2003). The presence of two functional groups of each reacting species results in the formation of a...

I n recent years, seemingly frequent examples of problems related to the integrity of authorship and publication have plagued the medical literature. These issues have been primarily related to the appropriateness of authorship (including ghostwriting and so-called " guest authorship " of manuscripts), duplicate publication of articles, plagiarism, scientific misconduct in the form of falsifica...

We propose a new method for rhythm quantisation and measurement of expressive timing. This paper focuses on the automatic quantisation and rhythmic transcription of syncopated rhythms and baroque ornaments, e.g. appogiaturas, mordants and trills from time-tagged audio recordings without knowing the score in advance. We demonstrate the transcription of the Aria of J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variation...

Bleaching of organic cotton fabric can be done with hydrogen peroxide in which Catalase, a non-toxic, environmentally friendly biocatalyst is used to remove the residual H2O2 in a cost effective way for the better improvement of the cellulosic fabric properties. Enzyme treated organic cotton fabric was dyed with a natural dye obtained from orange corolla tube of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis flower ...
