Stone mastic asphalt consists of two components coarse aggregate and bitumen-filled mortar (bituminous blend, filler, stabilizing additives like cellulosic or mineral fibers). Such a form hot mix (SMA) was first developed in Germany the mid-1960s to cope with corrosion ribbed wheel destruction. The mixture then known as stone asphalt, which not only immune wheels but also has strong resistance ...

Field studies were conducted in 2003 and 2004 to investigate the reaction of 10 varieties of kenaf to natural infestation of Meloidogyne incognita. Ten weeks after planting, ten randomly selected plants per variety were assessed for root galling. Plants were carefully uprooted soil adhering to roots was washed off under a gentle stream of tap water and roots then were observed using a stereo mi...

Viruses contain either DNA or RNA as genomes. DNA viruses replicate within nucleus, while most RNA viruses, especially (+)-sense single-stranded RNA, replicate and are present within cytoplasm. We proposed a new thought that is contrary to the common notion that (+)-sense single-stranded RNA viruses are present only in the cytoplasm. In this study, we question whether the genome of a plant RNA ...

This study evaluates the pre-treatment of cellulose from kenaf plant to yield sugar precursors for the production of ethanol or butanol for use as biofuel additives. In order to convert the crystalline cellulosic form to the amorphous form that can undergo enzymatic hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond to yield sugars, kenaf pulp samples were subjected to two different pre-treatment processes. In ...

Abstract The effects of rubber toughened epoxy/silica/kenaf composites on mechanical properties and microstructure were investigated. In this study, a combination silica, liquid rubber, epoxy was used to toughen epoxy/kenaf composite for potential automotive applications. with various MG30 (LMG30) contents from 1 7 phr fabricated by using hand lay-up method tested according ASTM standards testi...
