Potential of shortening pressing time or reducing pressing temperature for plywood resinated with PF resin modified using alcohols and esters

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

Pressing and squeezing with Piezos.

Pressing mitochondrial genetics forward.

Mitochondria are crucial for many cellular functions. In this issue of Cell Reports, studies from Lanning et al. and Wolf and Mootha describe RNAi approaches to screening the mitochondrial proteome. Unexpectedly, they uncover key roles for two poorly characterized mitochondrial proteins: AK4 and FASTKD4. These studies provide examples of the power of forward genetic screens, even when screening...

Equi-Channel Angular Pressing

Equal channel angular Pressing (ECAP) is an innovative technique for developing ultrafine-grained microstructures first developed by Segal et al in 1981 in the former Soviet Union. The ECAP method consists of two channels that intersect at an angle, generally comprised between 90◦ and 135◦ . The deformation is produced by shear as the billet is extruded through the channels. One of the geometri...

A Pressing Need

As a database format, XML (GML by extension) can be queried. In order to do this, we need a query language (of general use) to retrieve information from an XML document. Nevertheless, it is necessary to enrich the query language over XML features with spatial operators if we wish to apply it over spatial data encoded with GML. Otherwise, these query languages could only be used to query alphanu...
