Kenaf is a nonwoody fibrous plant, and its fibre can be potentially used as reinforcement in the matrix to produce biocomposite materials. The properties of materials are highly dependent on reinforcing material binder. This study kenaf with different compositions (10, 20, 30 wt.%) lengths (1 cm 3 cm) using casting process. Low viscosity epoxy resin (635 thin resin) 6 poise was matrix. results ...

to study the population structure of decapods in the intertidal zone of bushehr rocky shores, some random sample collection from four rocky and rubble shores of bushehr were done using a 50×50 quadrates sampling unit, in four successive seasons from autumn 2009 to summer 2010. totally 8 speciesbelonging to 5 family of decapods were identified and counted. in the whole course of sample collectio...

This study describes preparation and characterization of fluorine-containing organicinorganic hybrid coatings. The organic part consists of bisphenol-A glycerolate (1 glycerol/phenol) diacrylate resin and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate reactive diluent. The inorganically rich part comprises trimethoxysilane-terminated urethane, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl me...

This paper discusses maritime traffic management in the boarding process of pilots when approaching a port. For efficiency reason ships are brought as close together and as close to shore as possible. For safety reason ships should remain well separated from each other and at a safe distance from shore. By realising a clear traffic structure the shore-based pilot maintains situation awareness a...

The objective of this study was to manufacture new biodegradable fiberboards by thermo-pressing. The starting material was deoiled cake (only 0.9% oil content), generated during the biorefinery of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) whole plant in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. All fiberboards were cohesive mixtures of proteins and lignocellulosic fibers, acting respectively as binder and rein...

Combinations of proline and glutamine significantly increased the functional properties of soft wheatthat were unseen when added individually. To hard wheat, proline contributed more positively than glutamine onmost dough and bread properties, which is different from the observations with soft wheat. Addition of glutamine tohard wheat increased the amount of gluten and glutenin afte...

Tropical transpacific fishes occur on both sides of the world’s largest deep-water barrier to the migration of marine shore organisms, the 4,000to 7,000-km-wide Eastern Pacific Barrier (EPB). They include 64 epipelagic oceanic species and 126 species of shore fishes known from both the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP) and the central and West Pacific. The broad distributions of 19 of 39 circumglo...
