There are notable limitations to this study.As this is a pilot study,the authors acknowledge that future experiments will require more mice in each treatment group for an appropriately powered study.Assessments of the corpora cavernosa response to treatments were made based on histological and immunohistochemical changes.While these are adequate surrogates to determine how fibrosis can progress…

Study materials and procedures were approved by the University of Michigan Medical School Institutional Review Board
Taken together,findings underscore that alterations in cortical metrics are likely dynamic and influenced by age,pre-existing vulnerabilities,and exogenous factors such as marijuana use.Continuing to study associations between cortical metrics and substance use is important given estimates have been linked to cognitive functioning in several studies in our laboratory and others.Alcohol likely has similar deleterious consequences on the brain.The…
The Cumulative Energy Demand was the indicator used for the assessment of the environmental impacts
Hemp fiber and shives find use in construction industry,particularly in bio-architecture,as raw materials for buildings thermal insulation,due to their physical characteristics.Hemp shives begins to be widely used even in conventional buildings,often mixed with lime or cement to produce thermal insulating conglomerates.Short Technical hemp fiber not meant for textile manufacture is currently quite hard to place…
All the knitted fabrics were knitted with the same course and wale count
Regardless of the fact that yarn hairiness changes to some extent during knitting,the hairiness of the yarns incorporated into knits has not been tested,since drawing the yarns from the knits and their winding on a spool before hairiness monitoring would additionally change the surface geometry of the yarns.To assess the vulnerability of the surface of…
The idea of our model was to represent as near as possible “real world” conditions of human marijuana use
Cursory analyses with a cutoff of 1.5 shows apoptotic pathways as being significant for TSC exposure as well.It is important to note that the marijuana used for this study was obtained from a contracted supplier that provides marijuana for therapeutic use in Canada.It is grown under strictly controlled and documented conditions.Although this study has only examined smoke condensate from…
The coarse particles produced a naturally less dense material while the fine grade of shiv a naturally more dense material
In all cases the anisotropic internal structure of the material accounts for the clear variation in both mechanical and thermal properties of the material with testing direction. This is found to be most consistent in the thermal conductivity with a significantly lower thermal conductivity for all variations of hemp-lime in the parallel loading direction. As the…
The sides of the insulations were sealed with wax with aluminium foil on top to achieve unidirectional moisture flow
The MBV was calculated as mass change, Dm, per m2 and per DRH , based on the mean of last three cycles once dynamic equilibrium was attained. The dynamic equilibrium was considered to be attained when the change in mass, Dm , was less than 5% between the last three cycles. Two tests were carried…
Marijuana users also did not differ on total marijuana use episodes or lifetime dependence symptoms
The current findings of greater openness in marijuana users also fit within the framework put forth in studies of marijuana use motives. Specifically, out of five putative motives for marijuana use , highest endorsements have been reported for those that require openness, such as the enhancement motive , followed by social then expansion motives. Future studies are needed to directly examine…
A joint-year is defined by a history of smoking one joint per day times the number of years smoked
Natural fibers are semi-crystalline materials composed generally of an amorphous part basically consisting of the macromolecules of lignin and hemicellulose and a crystalline portion of cellulose. The X-ray diffractograms of treated and untreated hemp fibers are indicated in Fig. 3, they show the presence of peaks characteristic to cellulose molecule located at , 15.2° and 16.6°,correspond respectively…
Super-critical carbon dioxide is most commonly used for CBD due to its much milder supercritical condition
There are also some reports of CBD extraction using polar and non-polar mixed solvents for increased oil yield.However,mixed solvents sometimes result in more impurities and more complicated post processes that are needed.By principle,super-critical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical points but below the pressure required to compress it into solids.Under supercritical…
