Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) baiting programs for control of raccoon (Procyon lotor) rabies in the USA have been conducted or are in progress in eight states east of the Mississippi River. However, data specific to the relationship between raccoon population density and the minimum density of baits necessary to significantly elevate rabies immunity are few. We used the 22-km2 US National Aeron...

Physical, mechanical and dynamic properties of composites produced from coconut fibres using pure water sachet (LDPE) as matrix were evaluated in this study order to assess its suitability for use particleboards. The LDPE (waste sachets) coir/fibre collected, shredded milled into pellets. Five compositions with fibre loading 5, 10, 15, 20, 25%, corresponding 95, 90, 85, 80 75%. A sixth sample 1...

Coconut husk, rubberwood sawdust, and palm leaf base are cellulosic agricultural wastes that have potential to be processed fiber as absorbing material. This study investigated characteristics (morphological, physiological properties, chemical composition, absorption capacity, water isotherms) of coconut, rubberwood, fiber. Also, the aimed develop an antimicrobial sachet packaging resist agains...

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a dominant ethylene (C2H4)-scavenger extensively used in fresh horticultural commodities, mainly climacteric fruit, to prolong their shelf life. This material has been traditionally utilized as C2H4-permeable sachet for inclusion into packages of produces. New formulation strategies are required polymeric materials develop nanocomposites with scavenging potenti...

A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of natural fillers on mechanical properties virgin and waste low density polyethylene. Samples disposable sachet bags were obtained blended with varying percentages polylactic acid, starch, charcoal maleic anhydride (M.A) in a 2 roll-mill mixer compression molded form composites using two-roll mix molding machine for compounding. cut according ASTM...
