Disposable surgical gowns are usually made from petroleum-based synthetic fibers that do not naturally decompose, impacting the environment. A promising approach to diminish the environmental impact of disposable gowns involves utilizing natural fibers and/or bio-based synthetic fibers. In this study, composite web from polylactic bicomponent fiber and natural fibers, cattail and kapok fiber, were prepared by hot-press method. Only the sheath region of the PLA bicomponent fiber melts, acting as
The continuous glass fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) prepreg was manufactured by direct melt impregnation. The mechanical and thermal properties of PLA prepreg were observed. The properties of PLA prepreg were compared with the neat PLA and the injection molded glass fiber/PLA composite. The PLA prepreg having a fiber volume fraction of 27.7 % shows well enhanced tensile strength of 331.1 MPa, flexural strength of 528.6 MPa, and flexural modulus of 24.0 GPa. The enhancement in the heat de
The present investigation entitled “Effect of wheat straw along with different botanicals on the growth and yield of Pleurotus florida (Oyster mushroom)” was carried out in the Mushroom Crop Room and Research Laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted by using wheat straw as base substrate with different leaves. The experiment’s objective was to evaluate the effect of cultivation, substrates viz., wheat straw, bamboo, jamun, beal, drumstick, maize

ABSTRACT
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) are significant mental health conditions that arise following exposure to traumatic events. While PTSD is often associated with single traumatic experiences, C-PTSD develops due to prolonged and repeated trauma, particularly in early life. Despite the increasing recognition of C-PTSD as a distinct diagnosis in the ICD-11, research on its prevalence remains limited, particularly in populations affected by natu
Australia consumes approximately 29 million m3 of concrete each year with an estimated embodied carbon (EC) of 12 Mt CO2e. High consumption of concrete makes it critical for successful decarbonization to support the achievement of ‘Net Zero 2050’ objectives of the Australian construction industry. Portland cement (PC) constitutes only 12–15% of the concrete mix but is responsible for approximately 90% of concrete’s EC. This necessitates reducing the PC in concrete with supplementary cementitious
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of 26 types of low-carbon cement and associated supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) specified in the British Standards. It defines SCM, hydraulic, and pozzolanic materials, and addresses challenges in replacing cement with SCMs, including their efficiency factors. The confirmatory criteria for cements required by standards, along with methods for measuring the strength, pozzolanicity, and soundness of cementitious binders, are presented. The
