Natural fibers are being used in composites as a means of environmental protection through the use of biodegradable components. By combining natural and synthetic fibers, the use of natural fibers might be expanded significantly, potentially lowering the cost of hybrid composites. Fiber reinforced polymer-based composites have been used in a wide range of industrial applications for a very long time because of their high specific strength and modulus. The use of coir, a natural fiber, as reinfor
The need for biodegradable materials is the motivation behind studying the hybridization effect of natural and synthetic fiber composite. In this study six different compositions of sisal and glass are studied. Mechanical properties viz. tensile and bending are evaluated and compared for different compositions. Glass used at core showed slightly higher tensile strength than at skin. Also, it is found that the flexural strength is highest for 4 sisal layers at core and glass at skin. Fatigue life
The knowledge of mechanical properties of reinforced hybrid composites is very abundant, even though this could be one of the critical issues for many practical applications. This paper has the detailed study and a road to know more about the flax/glass fiber composites and its review on the appliance, property oriented with some of the special properties of the fiber. However, the occurrence of flax fiber is in the cooler regions of western country the worth of flax was more in the replacement
Recent interest in using natural waste-based materials in engineering and technology has grown due to their outstanding qualities. Eggshells are a promising material. This research uses the hand lay-up method to make a composite material with eggshell weight ratios from 10% to 50% in 10% increments, resulting in 10ES90PR, 20ES80PR, 30ES70PR, 40ES60PR, and 50ES50PR. The specimens were carved using a CNC router and mechanically tested (tensile, flexural, and impact tests) according to ASTM D 3039,
Background/purpose: Spasticity is one of the most common symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Conventional anti-spasticity agents have limitations in their efficacy and tolerability. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol: cannabidiol (THC:CBD) spray, a cannabinoid-based medicine, is approved as an add-on therapy for MS spasticity not adequately controlled by other anti-spasticity medications. The results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated a reduction in the severity of
Background: Cannabinoid oro-mucosal spray nabiximols is approved for patients with moderate to severe multiple sclerosis spasticity (MSS) resistant to other antispastic medications. Few real-world data are available on the effectiveness, safety and patients’ satisfaction in MS patients treated with nabiximols as monotherapy. Methods: To investigate the effectiveness, tolerability and satisfaction of nabiximols in a real-life multicentric Swiss cohort as monotherapy or with stable doses of other
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Sativex (USAN: nabiximols [NAB]) oromucosal spray is indicated for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with moderate to severe spasticity and inadequate response to other antispasticity medications who demonstrate clinically significant improvement during an initial trial of therapy. This narrative review investigated the efficacy and effectiveness of NAB oromucosal spray for moderate to severe MS spasticity by examining spasticity 0–10

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) classifies cannabis, all phytocannabinoids, and synthetics as doping, except for CBD. For agency, a method for doping substance must meet two criteria: performance enhancement (ergogenicity), health risk, or violation of the spirit of sports. Cannabis is neither ergogenic nor ergolytic (performance worsens), and the health risks for athletes are overestimated after 20 years of research. The significant problem remains in the complex (and difficult interpretati
Abstract
Oregano is an important economic plant which has valuable medicinal and aromatic properties. Oregano essential oil, containing carvacrol and thymol, is a preferred material to replace antibiotics in feed additives. Glandular secretory trichome (GST) density has positively correlated with the production of these compounds. Here, two haplotype-resolved genomes were assembled and annotated which contained 15 chromosomes with the total length of 606.75 and
