This article evaluates the relevant properties of cement-bonded particleboards (CBPB) made with a portion maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) particles replaced an agricultural waste, banana pseudostem (Musa sp.). The industrial production CBPB was simulated in laboratory based on reference composition defined by manufacturing company. Test specimens were produced assuming 0%, 25%, 50% and 75% parti...

The agro waste briquettes produced from sorghum panicle and pearl millet with corn starch as the binder varied proportions were compared other briquettes, elemental analysis of SP-PM was waste, palm kernel shell, soybean mango leaves, rice husk, spruce, coffee husk briquettes. TGA results leaf, baggase, almond banana pseudostem, pineapple stem root, low rank coal, bituminous cotton stalk, wheat...

The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...

Asexual Epichloë endophytes colonize agricultural forage grasses in a relationship which is mutually beneficial and provides the host plant with protection against herbivorous insects. The endophyte strain AR37 (Epichloë festucae var. lolii) produces epoxy-janthitrem alkaloids and is the only endophyte known to provide ryegrass with resistance against porina larvae (Wiseana cervinata (Walker)),...

Cow milk, a highly nutritious food item, is amenable to quality degradation due to lipolysis and proteolysis, as a sequel to the growth of spoilage microorganisms, particularly under ambient condition in tropical countries, with consequential loss of aesthetic appeal and product output. Prescription antibiotics used for milk preservation have many undesirable side effects on the health of consu...
