Blending PP Collected from Wasted Appliances with PLA

Wasted Food, Wasted Nutrients: Nutrient Loss from Wasted Food in the United States and Comparison to Gaps in Dietary Intake.

BACKGROUND Previous research has estimated that wasted food in the United States contains between 1,249 and 1,400 kcal per capita per day, but little is known about amounts of other nutrients embedded in the 31% to 40% of food that is wasted. OBJECTIVE This research aimed to calculate the nutritional value of food wasted at the retail and consumer levels in the US food supply, and contextuali...

Functional Properties of Biodegradable Nanocomposites from Poly Lactic Acid (PLA)

Nanocomposite composed of organoclay(Cloisite 20A-C20A) and Poly lactic acid (PLA) was prepared by solvent casting method. Physical, mechanical, thermal, barrier and microstructure properties of the composite were studied. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scannin...

Blending Polyhedra with Overlays

We introduce a novel method for constructing polyhedra by blending together two or more existing polyhedra, using a dualization method. The method results in a Minkowski sum, analogous to that of overlay tilings [5], which uses a topological dual operation to create tilings from a network (a graph embedded in a plane). This paper extends that method to networks on the surface of the unit sphere...

Blending with Purpose

The purpose of this article is to propose a blending with purpose multimodal conceptual model for designing and developing blended learning courses and programs. A blended learning model is presented that suggests teachers design instruction to meet the needs of a variety of learners. Specifically, Blending with Purpose: The Multimodal Model recognizes that because learners represent different ...
