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…
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…
