In recent years, the field of environment has received special attention from many countries. Environmentally friendly products are top way to limit negative impacts on living in world. countries, plastic bags have become an environmental disaster. To determine and boxes, it is necessary implement solutions. (eco-bags) also one solutions for people use boxes plastic. This article investigates k...

In various application domains, data can be represented as bags of vectors. Learning functions over such bags is a challenging problem. In this paper, a neural network approach, based on cascade-correlation networks, is proposed to handle this kind of data. By defining special aggregation units that are integrated in the network, a general framework to learn functions over bags is obtained. Res...

The main focus of the thesis is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the impacts on environment of plastic bags through a life cycle assessment. Based on a literature review, the international experiences from Ireland, Bangladesh and Canada on plastic bags policies are addressed. After 8 years implementation of plastic bags regulations, there are still existing some problems in China. The...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the use of Polypropylene mesh (Prolene) and Sepramesh, a coated Polypropylene mesh with a protective layer of Seprafilm on its visceral side, for the repair of abdominal wall defects in horses. We also aimed to quantify the consequent visceral adhesion and tissue inflammatio Design: Experimental study. Animals: Ten horses. Methods: The horses w...

The clinical evaluation of an ultralightweight polypropylene below-knee prosthesis conducted by the University of Strathclyde identified a number of potential problems which can arise from the use of polypropylene. This paper describes the problems associated with manufacture, loss of alignment and fitting, and indicates handling techniques to minimize these problems.

We conducted an experiment in Niger to evaluate the performance of hermetic triple layer (Purdue Improved Crop Storage- PICS) bags for the preservation of shelled and unshelled groundnut Arachis hypogaea L. Naturally-infested groundnut was stored in PICS bags and woven bags for 6.7 months. After storage, the average oxygen level in the PICS bags fell from 21% to 18% (v/v) and 21%-15% (v/v) for ...

Accurate sampling methods are necessary when quantifying odor and volatile organic compound emissions at agricultural facilities. The commonly accepted methodology in the U.S. has been to collect odor samples in polyvinyl fluoride bags (PVF, brand name Tedlar®) and, subsequently, analyze with human panelists using dynamic triangular forced-choice olfactometry. The purpose of this research was t...
