On the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) Infiltration of Fiber-Reinforced Composites Made by Tailored Fiber Placement (2022)

Tailored fiber placement (TFP) is a preform manufacturing process in which rovings made of fibrous material are stitched onto a base material, increasing the freedom for the placement of fibers. Due to the particular kinematics of the process, the infiltration of TFP preforms with resin transfer molding (RTM) is sensitive to multiple processes and material parameters, such as injection pressure, resin viscosity, and fiber architecture. An experimental study is conducted to investigate the influe

High Molecular Weight DNA Extraction from Cannabis sativa for Long-Read Sequencing v1 (2025)

This protocol describes a method for isolating high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA from Cannabis sativa plant tissue suitable for long-read sequencing platforms. The protocol uses nuclei isolation to minimize nuclease contamination and mechanical homogenization with the Precellys Evolution system. Expected yield: ~4 μg HMW DNA per gram of young shoot tissue.

SSR mining of black cumin (Nigella sativa L) transcriptome for molecular markers development (2022)

Abstract Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) is an important aromatic plant due to the production of many health-beneficial metabolites. Up to date- molecular characterizations of the germplasm were performed by using general marker systems. In the present study, the transcriptome of the black cumin was searched for SSRs. Dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats were the major repeat types which comprised 52.4% and 44.7% of total SSRs, respectively. TC/GA was the most frequent repeat motif (11

SSR marker based molecular diversity among advanced breeding lines of Katarni rice (Oryza sativa. L.) and validation of phenotypic selection through functional markers (2023)

Abstract Like Basmati, Katarni is a traditional aromatic rice cultivar grown primarily in its geographical indicated areas i.e. Bhagalpur, Banka and Munger districts of Bihar, India. However, known for exquisite grain quality characteristics, it suffers from lodging problem, and is very late maturing leading tolow productivity, constant decrease in acreage and farmer preference. Introgression of the semi-dwarfing gene (sd1) in Katarni was performed through marker assisted backcross breed

Investigating the electrical percolation threshold of ternary composite films with different compatibility between polymer blends (2021)

AbstractElectrical conductive of polystyrene (PS)/poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA)/carbon black (CB) and PS/poly (cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PChMA)/CB ternary composite films with different polymer blend ratios are prepared through solution casting. The percolation thresholds (ϕc) of all the composite films before and after thermal annealing have been determined through the McLachlan GEM equation. Moreover, the PS/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/CB and PS/poly (ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA)/CB film

A practical lab on composite materials and sensors, enhanced with electrical percolation threshold theory (2020)

Abstract Composites based on candle wax and pencil graphite were fabricated with different concentrations of graphite in the range 0% w/w to 70% w/w. These composites were fabricated (‘ironed’) into a sandwich structure with kitchen aluminum foil serving as electrodes. The composites’ electrical resistance was measured and it was found that the composite with 15% w/w of graphite was the best choice for further investigation according to the percolation theory of electrical cond

Research on Percolation Threshold of Broadband Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing SiCN (MWCNTs) Composite Ceramics (2021)

Abstract A simple polymer derivation method was applied in this paper to prepare a series of SiCN (MWCNTs) composite ceramics by adjusting the mass ratio of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The percolation threshold of the corresponding MWCNTs addition amount when SiCN(MWCNTs) composite ceramics exhibit the optimal electromagnetic wave (EWM) absorption performance was studied, the effect of different addition amounts of MWCNTs on reflection loss (RL), effective absorption bandwidt

Ash Melting Behavior of Rice Straw and Calcium Additives (2021)

Rice straw is potentially an appropriate feedstock material for biofuel production, since a huge amount of this postharvest residue is generated every year. The transformation of such agricultural biomass into densified products with a higher energy value and their subsequent combustion is associated with several questions. One of them is that rice straw exhibits a large formation of ash during combustion; thus, it is essential to know the nature of its ash melting behavior. Generally, during th

Ash composition, sintering behavior, and mineral transformation in water hyacinth pellet combustion: SEM-EDX and XRD analysis (2025)

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), an invasive aquatic plant with high biomass yield, has emerged as a potential feedstock for renewable energy. This study investigates the ash formation behavior and compositional transformation of water hyacinth pellets combusted at 600-900°C in a laboratory-scale muffle furnace. Comprehensive analyses using SEM-EDX and XRD are conducted to characterize ash morphology, elemental content, and mineral phases across the temperature range. Results show that com

Ash Formation and Associated Interactions during Co-Combustion of Wheat Straw and Sewage Sludge (2024)

The aim of the present work was to investigate ash formation and associated interactions during the pulverized fuel co-combustion of biomass fuels. Combustion experiments were carried out with narrowly sized wheat straw (WS), sewage sludge (SS), and their blends in a drop tube furnace at 1100 °C and 1300 °C. The resulting residual ash and fine particulate matter (PM10) were characterized with various analyses. It was observed that co-combustion influences size distributions of the residual ash p
