Subgrade soil stabilization is one of the primary and major processes in the construction of any highway; also environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of polyethylene (PET) bottles produced by household sectors. This research in order to study effect of adding recycled polyester fiber on soil engineering properties, especially shear strength and California Bearing Ratio...

Here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (TEA) and zinc acetate. The ZnO nano particles (NPs) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °C for 1 h. The synthesis of nano ZnO particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern...

a feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. the nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (sem/eds) and x-ray d...

Abstract Two polyester-lignite composite coated urea slow-release fertilizers (SRFs; Poly3 and Poly5) were developed their physicochemical properties studied. Both these SRFs significantly (p < 0.05) extended the release compared to uncoated urea; Poly5 by 117 172 h, respectively. The characteristics of further enhanced linseed oil application (Poly5-linseed). SEM images demonstrated coating...

background: cries of the newborn could be due to pain, thirst, hungry and fear from new environment. in our study we evaluated the effect of the sucrose drops on pacifying the children prior to a painful intervention or procedure with regards to the fasting condition of the children. methods: this triple blind clinical trial was conducted on 60 otherwise healthy children aged less than 1 year w...

the aim of this study was to establish and optimise a simplified method of halved grain culture, in order to utilise it to evaluate the ability of isolated sinks (developing wheat grains) in sucrose uptake and conversion (defined by sink strength) under unlimited source conditions. both sucrose uptake and starch synthesis increased linearly over the incubation periods used in this study. a ...
