Growing environmental concerns are becoming significant challenges for large-scale applications in the automotive industry. Replacing and hybridizing glass fibers with natural non-structural is one effective way to address this challenge, while retaining useful properties of both. This paper investigates mechanical damping performance four types compression-molded materials: polyester matrix (r...

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease observed in 90 percent of men over 60 (1). Benign prostat-ic hyperplasia is the most common benign tumor in men (2). The exact cause of this disease is still unknown, and environmental and genetic causes are thought to...

background and objective: nowadays, incidence of antibiotic-resistance among pathogenic bacteria has increased due to indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs for treatment of diseases, especially urinary tract infections. medicinal plants are also of great importance as antibacterial agents. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of ethanolic extract of net...

Nettle, Stinging Nettle (Common names) Urticadioca; Urticaurens (Scientific is considered by many to be a bothersome pest, but the nettle has been used since ancient times as source of food, fiber, and medicinal preparations. They also called in commonly nettle, weedy perennial plant family (Urticaceae). It known for its stinging leaves classified eukaryote. Because they contain true nucleus me...

Nettle et al. [1] explored the conditions under which it could be adaptive for humans to calibrate the development of life history traits (for example, reproductive timing) on the level of adversity experienced in early life. They concluded that external predictive adaptive responses (PARs)—in which early cues are employed to forecast the adult environment—can only evolve if environmental state...

Because of their high abundance in Chesapeake Bay, Chrysaora quinquecirrha medusae may be an important reservoir of organic matter. The timing and location of the decomposition of biomass from medusae may have implications for carbon cycling in the bay. Our objective was to identify the cause of C. quinquecirrha medusa disappearance to better understand when and where decomposition occurs. A ti...
