Rating Evaluation of Fire Risk Associated with Plastics (2021)

In this study, plastics such as glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were selected, and the fire risk associated with them was investigated using a cone calorimeter, as per ISO 5660-1. These values were measured to comprehensively predict the fire risk by Chung’s equations- Ⅱ. Standard materials (PMMA) were used to standardize the fire hazard assessment, and the fire risk was classified and evaluated by new Chun

A Comprehensive Study of Orchid Seed Production Relative to Pollination Traits, Plant Density and Climate in an Urban Reserve in Western Australia (2019)

The pollination of 20 common terrestrial orchids was studied in a 60-ha urban banksia and eucalypt dominated woodland in Western Australia. Five years of data (24,000 flowers, 6800 plants) measured fruit set relative to floral areas, capsule volumes, climate, phenology, pollination mechanisms, disturbance tolerance and demography. Pollination varied from 0–95% of flowers, floral displays from 90–3300 mm2 and capsules from 15–1300 mm3 per spike. Pollination traits strongly influenced outcomes, wi

The Effect of Self and Cross Pollination Using Honey Bee and Development in Complete Fruit and Seed Production in the Self-Incompatible Angiosperm in Brassica rapa (2023)

Pollination was a process of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma for plant reproduction and was an important mechanism in the life cycle of plants. This experiment involved a life cycle of Brassica rapa which was a member of the mustard or cabbage family. Brassica rapa was exceptional in its rapid development from seed to seed within four weeks. Morphological aspects and characterization of pollination was an important topic for developing fruit and s

INFLUENCE OF VARIETY, SELF-POLLINATION AND CROSS-POLLINATION ON SEED YIELD COMPONENTS IN BIRD’S-FOOT TREFOIL (2020)

The article gives an analysis of the influence of variety, self-pollination, cross-pollination on the seed yield components in bird’s-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.).The test results are designed for further planning of breeding work with this crop and finding sources of self-compatibility.The research was carried out in 2019, in the breeding greenhouse of the Federal Williams Research Center of Forage Production and Agroecology.We organized greenhouse experiment. Plants were grown in 3 l v

Experimental study on the flexural performance of concrete hollow composite slabs with tightly connected panel sides (2024)

Abstract In order to investigate the mechanical performance and failure modes of laterally connected precast hollow core composite slabs with board-side dense splicing, static model bending performance tests were conducted on three tightly connected hollow composite slabs and one seamless hollow composite slab under monotonic loading. The failure mode, crack distribution, bending bearing capacity, and bending stiffness of additional steel bars at the joints of the board were analyzed. Th

Fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) composite sandwich panel barge impact modeling and repair testing dynamic and static finite element analysis (FEA) predictions for impact and flexural testing validated with experiments (2025)

The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center has studied the functionality, durability, and structural integrity of fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) composite materials in civil works infrastructure. Compared to traditional mate-rials like steel, composites offer a high strength-to-density ratio and excellent resistance to environmental degradation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dynamic response of FRP composite sandwich panels subjected to a barge impact with typical masses

Parameterization of core plug replacement properties for flexural performance optimization of repaired composite honeycomb sandwich panel (2023)

As lightweight structures, composite sandwich panels are distinguished by their significant flexural performances, which make them suitable for lightweight design applications, especially in the aerospace industry. These structures are very prone to different damages, which affects the structure’s performance. In this study, the numerical three-point bending test is carried out to evaluate the flexural performance of the damaged and repaired panel by comparing it with the intact panel values. T

Quality Evaluation of Maize Akamu as Affected by Dehulling, Partial Germination and Oil Seed Supplementation (2020)

Akamu, a starchy cereal-based lactic acid fermented gruel consumed in West Africa was prepared using different processing methods: use of dehulled (D) maize grains, use of partially germinated (PG) maize grains (36-48h) and blends: PG and soybean (S) (90:10), D and S (90:10) and D and Melon (M) seed (90:10). Soaking, wet-milling, wet-sieving, sedimentation (24h), decanting, dewatering were involved and the traditional maize akamu served as the control. The seven different samples were subjected
