composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes.  carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance with high specific strength and stiffness. these properties led to their numerous advanced applications ranging from military and civil aircraft structures to consumer products. the modelling of beams undergoing arbitrarily ...

Mankind has been strongly dependent on plant fibres for all kind of purposes. In earlier days, natural fibres served a crucial role mitigate the everyday needs in a wide range of uses. But in recent years the arrival of synthetic products are dominating over the natural fibre, due to the low cost. But the synthetic fibres are non degradable and causing serious pollution problems. Banana is one ...

Due to increase in the number of goods carrying tricycles, the amount of noise and pollution on our roads has increased. To optimize the control of the engine noise emission for tricycle, different absorptive material liners have been introduced into muffler design. In this study, the performance of Aerogel, Ceramic, Kenaf fibre, Polyester and Rockwool as absorptive material liners on the trans...

Oat (Avena sativa L.) traditionally has been a major crop for feed and forage in Turkey. Theobjective of this research was to study hay yield and quality of oat genotypes harvested at thelate milk stage. One hundred oat varieties of worldwide origin were compared in fieldexperiments in Samsun (northern Turkey) over two growing seasons (2007-2008 and 2008-2009).Significant differences between th...

The composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes. The carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance and high specific strength and stiffness which have led to numerous advanced applications ranging from the military and civil aircraft structures to the consumer products. However, the modelling of the beams undergoin...

Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) have appeared as the most suitable materials for shipbuilding, aeronautical and aerospace applications due to their superior mechanical properties over traditional materials. In this paper, degradation in flexural and impact properties of glass fibre/epoxy composite (GF/E composite) and stainless steel glass fibre/epoxy fibre metal laminate (SS FML) due to hygrother...

The enactment of Intellectual Property protection laws globally and involvement private seed industry in India had become indispensable for IP agriculture as whole plant varieties particular. For varieties, the Distinctiveness Uniformity Stability (DUS) descriptors various crops (vegetables, field crops, floriculture, horticulture etc.) were developed notified by Protection Plant Varieties Farm...

Paper is one of the most important materials for packaging and demand this material constantly increasing. The printing industries are researching alternative sources fibre, to produce more environmentally friendly paper without compromising quality. As a material, must meet high strength requirements, it has exhibit acceptable surface properties preserve This research had two objectives: made ...

Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda is a devastating pest of over 350 plant species especially the cereal crops such as, maize, sorghum and rice. The currently posing threats to food security in Africa. FAW could be potential animal feed that can supplement chicken feed. However, there little information on its nutritional profile as poultry aim study was compare nutrient content larvae o...

THE unprecedented rapid adoption of transgenic crops during the initial five-year period (1996 to 2000) when genetically modified (GM) crops were first adopted, reflects the significant multiple benefits realized by large and small farmers in industrial and developing countries that have grown transgenic crops commercially. Between 1996 and 2000, a total of fifteen countries – 10 industrial and...
