Abstract Stinging nettle ( Urtica dioica ) is a potential source material for industrial applications. However, systematic research on the ultrastructural properties of fibres lacking. Determining ultrastructure and other bast also provides new insights into studies archaeological their usage. In this study, nanostructure modern ancient samples was studied using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAX...

Synergetic models of language structure predict that the length of a word will depend upon various parameters such as its frequency and the number of phonemes in the language. This prediction has been used to explain word length differences within languages, but less often to explain the differences between languages. Here I show that average word length across 12 West African languages is rela...
