In this study, the hybridization process of carbon fabrics, which used in many areas today, and flax fabrics were carried out using two production methods, hand lay-up vacuum bagging. The effects both method on mechanical performance formed flax/carbon epoxy hybrid composites investigated. Epoxy was as a matrix element production. Tensile hardness tests performed to evaluate properties analyzed...

In the same issue of Nature that radiocarbon dating results for Shroud Turin were published, Phillips hypothesized neutron radiation could have altered reported dates. addition to making appear younger than its true age, would produced significant amounts radioactive chlorine 36Cl in Shroud. Two earlier papers showed ultraviolet (uv) fluorescence intensity is non-uniform over surface...

In tackling and negotiating responsibility for anthropogenic climate change, governments and businesses are increasingly concerned with shaping ‘consumer behaviour’, understood broadly as the ways in which people acquire, appropriate and appreciate goods and services. One intervention considered successful in this respect has been that of encouraging the lowtemperature washing of laundry in the...

numerous radially arranged small cysts, anil with extensive adhesions to the bowel. As little of the contents would escape by the trocar, the C}7st was broken up, and the gelatinous and semi-solid contents removed with the hand? till the remains were small enough to be withdrawn from the abdomen. The pedicle was found to be twisted completely round from left to right. After suturing with linen ...

Objective: To compare the coefficient of friction (CoF) of skin against fabric when the skin is covered with a liquid barrier film versus a silicone dressing, relative to a bare skin baseline. Approach: A laboratory instrument allowing the measurement of friction between two surfaces was used to compare the CoF between a fabric representing bed linen (100% cotton) and the skin of two laboratory...
