In this study the physical and thermal properties of baobab (Adansonia digitata) fruit pulp powder which are essential for designing engineering processes, material handling, storage, equipment design and fabrication were determined. The physical properties, namely, mean particle size, bulk density, true density and porosity were determined. Also, angle of repose and coefficient of friction wer...

In the current study, we report new flexible, free standing and high performance electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors developed througha scalable but simple and efficient approach. Highly porous structures based on carbon fiber and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were used as a pattern. The electrochemical performances of Carbon fiber/GO-MnO2/CNT supercapacitors were characteriz...

Five years ago, co-author Ashley Albert surrendered her parental rights to two youngest children the State of Washington. She shares story ostensibly "voluntary" surrender, which was anything but voluntary. This Article goes on address practice permanently severing legal bonds between a parent and child, then State's "replacement" those with new ones via formalized adoption. It informs readers ...
