This study investigates the feasibility and effect of poly(lactic) acid (PLA) on bitumen modification.The chemical and physical properties were evaluated for the modified bitumen read more produced with varying percentages of PLA ranging from 3 to 9%.Several testings such as the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrosc
The genomes of hybrids often show substantial deviations from the features of the parent genomes, including genomic instabilities characterized by chromosomal rearrangements, gains, and losses.This plastic genomic architecture generates phenotypic diversity, potentially giving hybrids access to new ecological niches.It is however unclear if there a
The purpose of gruvi golden lager this paper is to describe the processes of stigmatization and oppression of women as presented by Bernardine Evaristo in her book Girl, Woman, Other.The book features twelve female characters who are very different from each other, but what they have in common is that they each, in their own way, face here stigma,
Essential oils are volatile liquids which evaporate and lose their pharmacological effect when exposed to the environment.The aim of this study is to protect nutmeg essential oil from environmental factors by encapsulation (shell material, sodium alginate) and determine the influence of crosslinker concentration (2%, 5% calcium chloride), different
In an effort to suppress microbial outgrowth, the host sequesters essential nutrients in a process termed nutritional immunity.However, inflammatory responses to bacterial insult can restore nutritional resources.Given that nutrient availability modulates virulence factor production and biofilm formation by other bacterial species, we hypothesized
