The need for the development of new biodegradable materials and modification properties current ones possess has essentially increased in recent years. aim this study was comparison changes occurring poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) due to its by high-energy electron beam derived from a linear accelerator, as well addition natural fibers form cut hemp fibers. Changes structure obtained composites geo...

With the advent of drug testing in the workplace and the consequences of a positive drug test, several issues have arisen in defending or explaining a positive result for a given drug of abuse. Marijuana is the illicit drug with the highest percentage of positives in workplace drug testing. Consequently, marijuana was the first such drug for which excuses were provided to explain the positive t...

Low cost composite materials are widely used in civil and structural engineering applications. This project uses Epon and chopped hemp to plasticize a commonly used resin, epoxy resin to lower the cost of the composite and to find out the mechanical and thermal properties of the plasticized epoxy resin to see if it is suitable for the said applications. Epon and chopped hemp were mixed together...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate biodegradation properties PLA (as a bio-based polymer), Hemp, Jute natural bast fibers) and Viscose cellulose regenerates) for agrotextile nonwovens production. For the purpose those investigations, an analysis time samples were performed by soil burial test (ISO 11721 – Textiles Determination resistance cellulose-containing textiles microorganis...

Multiple sclerosis (MS), as an auto-immune disease, is confined to the central nervous system and is usually accompanied with debilitating condition in MS patient. The rate of disease in the females is more than males (2:1), and it is diagnosed between 20 to 40 years old. Phototherapy, as a traditional remedy, is used to treat different pathological conditions including MS. Hemp seed oil, as an...

as accompanying the use of this drug arc due to stronger drugs mixed with Indian hemp. He regards liyoscyamus, opium and datura among others as the probable cause of the intoxicating effects. Anyone living in India acquainted with the legal restrictions under which Indian hemp is sold, both"wholesale and retail, will understand that large quantities of these drugs are purchased and consumed in ...

Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is an important fiber crop, and native cultivars exist widely throughout China. In the present study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of 27 important Chinese native hemp cultivars, by using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and chromosome markers. We determined the following chromosome formulas: 2n = 20 = 14m + 6sm; 2n = 20 = 20m; 2n = 20 = 18m + 2sm; 2n = 20 = 16m +...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The study aims to determine the nutritional value of hemp seed expressed by the oil content and by the concentration of metals (Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cd), for five varieties of monoecious and dioecious hemp seeds approved in Romania, comparative with the concentration of these metals in the soil. RESULTS The content of oil in hempseed registers a slight decrease i...
