MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN INDUSTRIAL HEMP HARVESTING AND STORAGE

An Introduction to Industrial Hemp, Hemp Agronomy, and UK Agronomic Hemp Research

Software Evolution Management: Industrial Practices

The complexity of modern software systems and the global competition make the adoption of model-based techniques unavoidable. A higher level of abstraction not only allows to mitigate the intricacy of the development, e.g., through separation of concerns, but it is also expected to permit shorter round-trip cycles to add new system functionalities, fix bugs, and refine existing features. This p...

Industrial hemp decreases intestinal motility stronger than indian hemp in mice.

BACKGROUND Indian hemp has shown beneficial effects in various gastrointestinal conditions but it is not widely accepted due to high content of tetrahydrocannabinol resulting in unwanted psychotropic effects. AIM Since industrial hemp rich in cannabidiol lacks psychotropic effects the aim of research was to study the effects of industrial hemp on intestinal motility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A...

Industrial Hemp in North America: Production, Politics and Potential

Most of the Western World banned the cultivation of Cannabis sativa in the early 20th century because biotypes high in ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the principal intoxicant cannabinoid) are the source of marijuana. Nevertheless, since 1990, dozens of countries have authorized the licensed growth and processing of “industrial hemp” (cultivars with quite low levels of THC). Canada has concentrat...

Energy Storage and Management in Supercapacitors for application in Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Systems

Electrical double layer capacitors (supercapacitors) were fabricated using activated carbon as the active material and polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF) as a binder with a suitable conductive additive (MWCNTs) together in an optimized ratio. The supercapacitor cells were assembled using an aqueous solution of 0.5M Na2SO4 as the electrolyte. These cells had an average capacitance of 1.7F each as me...
