Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) is recognised for its ability to improve summer feed productivity as well mitigate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from grazed pastoral soils. This study aims determine the proportion of plantain required in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne and white clover (Trifolium repens L.), or RWC, mixed swards maintain yield stability quantify N2O emission reductions. Th...

The functionality of blended samples is likely to be affected by incorporating other flour into wheat for baked goods, meanwhile this has not been fully researched. Therefore, the purpose study was ascertain functional and pasting qualities. from wheat, mushroom unripe plantain so as maximize its potentials in baking industry. Using response surface methodology (optimal mixture design), differe...

the idea of combining low weight and good mechanical properties has led to efforts to develop a new light fiber/metal laminate (fml) in the last decade. fmls are hybrid composites consisting of alternating thin layers of metal sheets and fiber-reinforced epoxy prepregs. in this study, the effect of fiber orientation on tensile properties of this material is investigated both analytically and ex...

Plantain (Musa paradisiaca AAB) is one of the main staple food crops in tropical areas, particularly Caribbean region. Therefore, supporting a sustainable production plantain this zone crucial to secure and provide income millions people. We hypothesized that agroecological practices based on multi-functionality biodiversity preserve soil should i) increase macrofauna abundance, ii) enhance che...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental determination of fiber bed permeability variation with porosity. Flow measurement experiments were designed to measure fiber mat permeability for fiber beds with various fiber volume fractions. Woven fiberglass, chopped fiberglass, and carbon fiber mats were used as reinforcements. The effects of reinforcement type and porosity on fiber ...
