This work aims to study the physical, chemical, and thermal properties of natural fibers extracted from Pennisetum alopecuroides plant. The was carried out on raw treated assess improvements that facilitate future uses in composites. alkaline treatment using NaOH with different concentrations (1, 3, 5, 10%) for 2 hours. Hydrothermal performed at immersion times a water bath 100°C. chemical comp...

In-situ processing has been proposed as a novel data exploration solution in many domains generating massive amounts of raw data, e.g., astronomy, since it provides immediate SQL querying over raw files. The performance of in-situ processing across a query workload is, however, limited by the speed of full scan, tokenizing, and parsing of the entire data. Online aggregation (OLA) has been intro...

Material recycling requires solutions that are technically, as well economically and ecologically, viable. In this work, the technical feasibility to separate textile blends of viscose polyester using alkaline hydrolysis is demonstrated. Polyester depolymerized into monomer terephthalic acid at high yields, while recovered in a polymeric form. After treatment, intrinsic viscosity cellulose decr...

Several studies have demonstrated the beneficial impact of dried peas and their components on glucose tolerance; however, the role of gut microbiota as a potential mediator is not fully examined. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with raw and cooked pea seed coats (PSC) on glucose tolerance, microbial composition of the gut, select markers of intestinal barrie...

The ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (UHPFRC) is a new generation of building material with extremely high mechanical strength and durability, which can be used for ultra-high, thin-wall or long-span construction, that prolongs the service life construction in severe environments. In this study, UHPFRC was prepared range local ecological admixture to decrease mater...

during the last decades a new class of materials named fiber/metal laminates (fmls) was introduced. it is a hybrid composite consisting of alternating thin layers of metal sheets and fiber-reinforced composite material. fmls have both low weight and good mechanical properties. in this study, the impact behavior of this attractive material is investigated. the effect of fiber angle, stacking seq...

Ten wild plants (cattail broad leaf shoots, chokecherries, beaked hazelnuts, lambsquarters, plains prickly pear, prairie turnips, stinging nettles, wild plums, raspberries, and rose hips) from three Native American reservations in North Dakota were analyzed to expand composition information of traditional foraged plants. Proximates, dietary fiber (DF), vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and folat...

Lyocell fiber has emerged as a new generation of green due to its preparation process and unique properties in comparison with viscose fiber. The raw material for the great impact on quality finished product. However, unlike viscose-grade dissolving pulp, there is no evaluation system Lyocell-grade making it difficult assess material. This study examined approach upgrade paper-grade pulp Under ...

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of fiber source and concentration on morphological characteristics, mucin staining pattern, and mucosal enzyme activities in the gastrointestinal tract of pigs. The experiment included 50 pigs from 10 litters weaned at 4 wk of age (BW 8.6 +/- 1.4 kg) and divided into 5 treatment groups. Diets containing fiber of various physico-chemic...
