The consequences of manipulations in structure and amino acid composition native cyclolinopeptide A (CLA) from linen seeds, its linear precursor on their biological activities mechanisms action, are reviewed. modifications included truncation the peptide chain, replacement residues with proteinogenic or non-proteinogenic ones, bond, others. studies revealed changes immunosuppressive potency the...

Abstract Organic industrial materials are exposed to fungal deterioration; prevent this, several additives can be used. In the present work, Egyptian cotton linters, linen textile, and parchment (goat skin) provided from zones in Egypt were The application of eco-friendly essential oils (EOs) isolated Pinus rigida wood Origanum majorana green leaves linter paper pulp (CLP), as bio-fungicides pr...

In this study, linen and cotton fibers obtained from fabric waste were used as filler materials polyethylene was matrix material to produce fiber reinforced polymer composites using injection molding. Use of enables utilization wastes while decreasing the amount in resulting an environmentally friendly material. Prepared samples with varying content (5, 10 20 vol. %) compared each other without...

Improving the mechanical and physical properties of bio-composite materials involves incorporation plant fibers such as Jute, Hemp, Kenaf, Ramie, Sisal, Linen, etc. The existence Diss grass (Ampelodesmos mauritanicus) in abundance east Algeria especially Khenchela region taking into account their resistance low density, which justifies choice use composite materials. Tensile hardness tests for ...

THE hospital from which the Royal Maternity evolved was conceived 140 years before at a meeting in the Linen Hall on 23rd December 1793 by a group of 180 ladies who called themselves "The Humane Female Society for the Relief of Lyingin-Women".

The Turin Shroud (TS) is a linen cloth commonly associated with Jesus Christ, his crucifixion and burial. Several medical specialists have debated the injuries of the TS Man, nevertheless there are no detailed and quantitative data about the anatomy of the TS face. The purpose of this study was to analyse the cephalometric measurements of the face image of the TS. The TS face image was acquired...

The Ulster Hospital was founded on the philanthropy of the people of Belfast a town which, in the second half of the nineteenth century, was undergoing a population explosion resulting from industrial expansion: 97,784 souls in 1851 had become 174,412 in 1871, 255,950 in 1891, and 386,947 in 1911; furthermore, the surrounding districts shared in this expansion. There were many industries, but l...

The possibility of developing future investigations on the Turin Shroud by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is discussed in the present article. Various traditional techniques such as the static spectroscopy in homogeneous or nonhomogeneous magnetic fields or the “Magic Angle Spinning (MAS)” technique and more innovative techniques such as “Cross-Polarisation”, that allows a better sig...

HYPERMASK is a system which projects an animated face onto a physical mask, worn by an actor. As the mask moves within a prescribed area, its position and orientation are detected by a camera, and the projected image changes with respect to the viewpoint of the audience. The lips of the projected face are automatically synthesized in real time with the voice of the actor, who also controls the ...

The history of microcrystalline arthritis only began in 1961 when Daniel McCarty and Joseph Lee Hollander demonstrated the presence of sodium monourate crystals in the synovial fluid of gouty patients. However, gout is a historical disease, thanks to the descriptions of Hippocrates, Caelius Aurelianus, Soranus of Ephesus and Araeteus of Cappadocia. The relationship between hyperuricemia and gou...
