An efficient root transformation system for recalcitrant Vicia sativa (2020)

Abstract Common vetch ( Vicia sativa ) is a multi-purpose legume widely used in pasture and crop rotation systems. Vetch seeds have desirable nutritional characteristics and are often used to feed ruminant animals. Although transcriptomes are available for vetch, problems with genetic transformation and plant regeneration hinder functional gene studies in this legume species. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop an

Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Parkinson Disease and Essential Tremor (2021)


 Horizon Scan reports provide brief summaries of information regarding new and emerging health technologies; Heath Technology Update articles typically focus on a single device or intervention.
 These technologies are identified through the CADTH Horizon Scanning Service as topics of potential interest to health care decision-makers in Canada.
 This Horizon Scan summarizes the available information regarding an emerging technology, Percept PC Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system w

Mechanical Properties of Water Hyacinth Fiber Reinforced Bio-Based Epoxy Composite (2019)

This research studied the influence of treated water hyacinth fibers with chemical substances and the orientation of water hyacinth (WH) fiber reinforced bio-based epoxy composite on mechanical properties. The specimens with direction at 90˚, 45˚ and 0˚ of WH fiber and different treatment substance were investigated. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane were used for the chemical treatment of fiber, which can improve the mechanical properties of the composite. The result s

Xylan Hemicellulose: A Renewable Material with Potential Properties for Food Packaging Applications (2021)

Xylan hemicelluloses are considered the second most abundant class of polysaccharides after cellulose which has good natural barrier properties necessary for foods packaging papers and films. Xylan exists today as a natural polymer, but its utilisation in packaging applications is limited and not sufficiently analysed. In this study, the performances of hardwood xylan hemicellulose in forming uniform films and as biopolymer for paper coatings were analysed. The xylan-coated paper and film sample

Hemicellulose-derived xylan and its nanocrystal as novel polysaccharides to tune micro-phase separated block copolymers for advanced applications (2025)

Self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs) with micro-phase separated structures have attracted attention due to their potential applications as lithography material in the semiconductor industry and a soft template in the design of precisely ordered pore materials. The primary questions to be addressed include whether forestry bio-material xylan makes it possible to tune micro-phase separation window of BCP along with high Flory-Huggins’s parameter BCP design. Additionally, xylan nanocrystals (XNCs
