One of the most important factors in determining the depth of foundations in structures adjacent to the water flow is the scouring phenomenon; the scouring is a phenomenon caused by the interactions between water flow and erodible bed materials, which causes the removal of sediments where hydraulic structures are located, including bridge piers. Every year, a great number of bridges are damaged...

The application of aloe vera in textile processing is gaining worldwide detection as one the hopeful approaches to pollution issues and cost reduction. Aloe gel possesses some biological activities unique properties such colorless, transparent, viscosity which meet using a printing thickener, mordant, antimicrobial for different fabrics dyes. used pre-treatment scouring, desizing, softening, du...

Abstract This research focuses on the development of utilizing Grade-C kenaf fibers (poor quality) produced from plantations in Pesanggarahan village, Lamongan regency, Indonesia, to produce alternative textile materials for craft and products. High-quality have been utilized automotive, pulp paper, geotextile industries, while low-quality are considered less potential only used as gunny sacks....

Calf mortality is highest during the first six months of life. Added to this is the losses to the industry caused by around 50,000 breeding cows (1.4% of the U.K total) dying at calving, mainly as a result of dystocia. Scouring is the most common disease in young calves and, as a result, is the greatest single cause of death in calves, accounting for almost 50% of all calf deaths. Scouring in c...

The majority of British textile finishing firms discharge their waste water to sewers for treatment by local authorities, and their problems are mainly those of pretreatment torender the wastes acceptable, by removal of alkali or acid, and other materials that are prohibited. Firms discharging to watercourses have to purify the waste water to a high standard before discharge and this usually in...

This manuscript describes the potential of a cutinase from the fungus Fusarium solani pisi for cotton wax degradation in order to design an efficient low temperature scouring process. The main characteristics, relevant to cotton wax removal with F. solani pisi cutinase are given. The additive effect of cutinase on pectinase was investigated and optimum incubation conditions were determined. Com...

Despite many reports on the shedding of Giardia parasites by scouring calves, the role of Giardia as a cause of calf diarrhea is still controversial. To elucidate the role of Giardia duodenalis in calf scours, diagnostic samples from 189 scouring calves were tested by different assays during a 1-year-study period. Giardia antigens were detected in 22/189 scouring calves by a fecal-based enzyme-...
