Abstract Addressing solid waste recycling, this study aims to develop biodegradable kraft paper from buffing dust (BD) and post‐consumed jute fiber (JF). Employing a simple solution casting method with polyurethane binder, the was fabricated characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, OTR, biodegradability, tensile tests. The findings revealed covalent hydrogen bonding between...

A novel jump-focused (JF) technique of the jump float serve was compared with the conventionally used contact-focused (CF) method. Seven elite male (height: 195 ± 6 cm) and two elite female (height: 181 and 182 cm) volleyball players were videoed at 60 Hz performing both techniques. Horizontal and vertical ball contact coordinates, pre- and postcontact ball velocities, and initial projection an...

We prove that any odd dimensional geometric graph G = (V,E) has zero curvature everywhere. To do so, we prove that for every injective function f on the vertex set V of a simple graph the index formula 1 2 [1 − χ(S(x))/2 − χ(Bf (x))] = (if (x) + i−f (x))/2 = jf (x) holds, where if (x) is a discrete analogue of the index of the gradient vector field ∇f and where Bf (x) is a graph defined by G an...

We present a new catalog of absolute nuclear magnitudes of Jupiter family (JF) comets, which is an updated version of our previous catalog (Tancredi et al. 2000). The full version of the catalog can be accessed on line at http://www.fisica.edu.uy/∼gonzalo/catalog. From the new catalog we find a linear cumulative luminosity function (CLF) of slope 0.54 ± 0.03 for JF comets with q < ∼ 2.5 AU. By ...

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of hydrocolloid pre-treatment, i.e. pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), gum arabic and sodium alginate on the quality of vacuum fried jackfruit (JF) chips. The control JF samples (no hydrocolloid treatment) showed higher absorption of oil whereas the oil absorption was less in the hydrocolloid pre-treated samples. The retention of moi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging characteristics of temporal bone meningioma have not been previously reported in the literature. CT and MR imaging findings in 13 cases of temporal bone meningioma are reviewed to define specific imaging features. METHODS A retrospective review of our institutional case archive revealed 13 cases of histologically confirmed temporal bone meningioma. CT and MR ima...

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a DNA nick sensor involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, has demonstrated antitumor activity in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancers. To extend this specific therapy to other types of carcinomas, a panel of 11 different cancer cells were screened in the present study. JF-305, a pancreatic cancer cell l...
