A Review of the Flammability Factors of Kenaf and Allied Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites

Natural fibre is a well-known reinforcement fibre in polymer-matrix Composites (PMC) lately. Natural fibre has fast growing and abundance properties which make it available at very low cost. For kenaf fibre there is long lists of research projects which have been done regarding its behaviour, and properties and modification made to it. In this paper, fire flammability is the main concern for natural fibre reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites especially kenaf fibre. To estimate its flammability, a wide range of factors can be considered such as fibre content, type of matrices, pH conditions, treatment, and fire retardant (FR) filler’s type. The most important criteria are the ignition time, rate of propagation, and fire behavior. thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), different scanning calorimetric (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) are the three most famous methods used to investigate the fire behaviour of composites.

Trend of Determining Research Priorities in Hamadan Medical Sciences University

Background: To achieve development goals in a country, having a research plan is necessary. Need assessment in health is the first stage of research priority aiming improves health condition in a population. The objective of this study was to determine a list of research projects according to the health problems priority in Ramadan province, Iran. Methods: To determine research priorities in the studied population, information were obtained from different sources such, as discussion groups and questionnaire. Information from medical specialists and academic members were gathered using a questionnaire that was based on health problems and research priorities. Also, a qualitative study was performed for people views' an population health problems. A specialist team in health policy scored each obtained health problem. To evaluate the applied method, statistical method of factor analysis was used to provide a proper list of health problems and research priorities in the area. Results: Totally, 58 main health problems were sorted. According to the priorities list, traffic accidents as well as providing safety water were on the top. The other main priorities were; drug abuse, healthy nutrition AIDS, STD, CHD, and diarrhea in children, management in health services, dental health services and medical insurance. The applied method of scoring for health priorities was compared with the factor analysis method. The correlation coefficient of scoring between the two methods was r=0.987. The total number of suggested research priorities was in 151 titles. Conclusion: It was concluded that since the health problems in the population are growing, the only way to prevent the problems is to establish a system for evaluating and coring of heath problems.

The Joy Before Cooking: Preparing Ourselves to Write a Risk Research Recipe

Rather than the conventional practice of compiling a list of interesting research projects and then attempting to make the case that each represents a high priority, I will attempt an approach rooted in decision analysis. The information of greatest value, according to decision theory, is that which most enables us to make more reliable, transparent, and cost-effective decisions. Therefore, I begin with a brief discussion of how and why typical decisions relying on cancer dose-response information can fall short, in an attempt to assess where and how this aspect of risk assessment is “broken” before generating a list of research projects to “fix” it. I discuss the problem of model uncertainty in dose-response assessment, and conclude it is impossible to gauge how valuable it might be to know the correct model until we agree on guidelines for how to make decisions given imperfect information in this regard. After discussing four broad research areas that arguably represent particularly high priorities given this framework, I conclude by identifying three overarching areas of risk assessment and management that, if not given commensurate attention, threaten to render even perfect dose-response information of dubious value.

Consumers and Food Policy in North America

Thank you for inviting me to address this joint meeting of American and Canadian economists. Especially I want to thank my good and longtime friend, Sylvia Lane. As a layperson, I was flattered by the invitation to address an audience of scholars. As a government official frequently dependent upon the quality, and even the quantity, of your work, I was delighted to accept. And since the day I accepted this invitation, I have been compiling my wish list of research projects. Anyone who takes more than a cursory look at our more successful policies will see they have usually been based on the economic and policy research of people such as you. I applaud your past successes. But I come before you today to ask you for help in forging new successes: to turn more of your talents to public policy and social science research in the area of food and nutrition. We meet at an exciting time for you and your profession. I feel relatively certain that none of you chose economics as a vocation in the fond hope that you would wind up as lead editorials in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. The economics Journal, maybe; not Wall Street's. But you may have been wrong. Food is news today. And two interesting and important things are happening right now-both of which involve you. First, the traditional debate over agricultural policy has been expanded into a debate over food and nutrition policy. We are no longer concerned only with the mechanisms for producing, processing, and distributing food, and the kinds of economic returns that are available to producers, processors, and distributors. Within the past few years, the traditional arena has been enlarged to include a debate over food composition, nutritional values, chemical additives, and costs to consumers. And these new issues may have an enormous impact on the economic returns of producers, processors, and food retailers. Second, we have reached a point in our national life when the people of this country, while still willing to use government action to attack a wide variety of problems, are quite rightly unwilling to tolerate unforeseen, unintend d, and unfortunate consequences of those actions. We are, it seems to me, in desperate search of competence in government. Both of these developments are of enormous importance to your profession. You, in turn, can play a crucial role in resolving the problems which they present.
