Abstract Many researchers have investigated alternative sources to overcome the problem of conventional building material polluting environment by development green self-compacting concrete in construction industry. The best solution is utilise non-conventional materials like agricultural wastes. Meanwhile, (SCC) considered as high strength well high-performance concrete. demerits, which includ...

A field-scale data collection plan to monitor and evaluate the performance of a sediment basin design was developed and implemented using portable automatic stormwater samplers, flow modules, a rain gauge, and inflow weirs. The design configuration consisted of a skimmer as the primary dewatering device, three coir baffles installed inside the basin, polyacrylamide flocculant blocks and ditch c...

Ophiopogon japonicus is a perennial, ornamental foliage plant, whichbelongs to the family Liliaceae. It has a high demand in the local andinternational export market due to the presence of glossy white-green stripped lanceolate leaves. Improved leaves and plants of O. japonicus will be more popular in the floriculture industry. Hence, objective was to investigate the growth responses of O. japo...

There are at least 1000 types of plant that bear usable fibers [1]. Natural plant fibres are easily obtained in many tropical parts and are available throughout the world. Today these fibres are considered as environment friendly materials owing to their biodegradability and renewable properties [2]. Natural fibres have applications in fields of textile, paper manufacturing, and bioenergy indus...

Every Seifert Fibre Group is the lift of a Fuchsian group to the universal covering group of PSL (2,R). From this, we work out a form of presentation for such a group. With the calculation of the Euler number, we can establish the presentation of the derived group of a Seifert Fibre Group

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of age on fiber characteristics of one-humped female camels of semnan province. 50 grams of wool samples from the left midside area were randomly collected from 28 camels of three different age groups: young, adult and old and fibre characteristics were measured. statistical model used for this research was completely randomized design (crd). an...

Renewable materials including coir, biochar, and composts are investigated worldwide in the horticultural industry to partially substitute peat growing media. In this study, we assessed effects of biochar vermicompost as partial substitution compared these peat-based media with coir terms NH 4 + -N NO 3 − content, CO 2 -C N O-N emissions their microbial biomass carbon nitrogen. Six mixtures (pe...

This study was designed to investigate the removal of reactive violet 48 from wastewater using Commercial activated carbon and Coir pith activated carbon. Its adsorption capacity has been tested for the decolourization of waste water containing reactive violet 48. The effect of system variables such as concentration, temperature, contact time and pH were studied. The adsorption data follow Lang...
