Characterisation of Luffa cylindrica Fibre from Cameroon for Use in Composites: Effect of Alkaline Treatment by Jean Aimé Mono, Assona Appolince Rachelle, Claude Takoumbe, Odette Thérèse Adegono Assiene, Prince Hermann Pokem Nguimjeu, Fabrice Ella Belinga

“…The results obtained show the lightness of the fibre through its low density (0.233-0.419 g·cm-3), and a hydrophilic nature of the fibre is observed through its water absorption capacity (106.86-180.53%), its relative humidity (9.86-15.33%), and its capacity to diffuse water (2.03×10−14 m2·s-1 to 4.61×10−14 m2·s-1), which is close to that of other plant fibres, which means that it can be classified as porous, with possible applications in insulating and lightweight materials. Its diameter (418.61-554.42 μm) and linear mass (34-58 g·km-1) are high, in contrast to other fibres used in the textile industry to produce yarns. …”

Vacuum amplitudes and time-like causal unitary in the loop-tree duality by The LTD collaboration, Selomit Ramírez-Uribe, Andrés E. Rentería-Olivo, David F. Rentería-Estrada, Jorge J. Martínez de Lejarza, Prasanna K. Dhani, Leandro Cieri, Roger J. Hernández-Pinto, German F. R. Sborlini, William J. Torres Bobadilla, Germán Rodrigo

“…The generation of loop- and tree-level contributions to the differential decay rates from a kernel multiloop vacuum amplitude is shown in detail, and explicit expressions are presented for selected processes that are suitable for a lightweight understanding of the method. Specifically, we provide a clear physical interpretation of the local cancellation of soft, collinear and threshold singularities, and of the local renormalisation of ultraviolet singularities. …”

Expanding of Excimer Laser Photoablation’s Functionality in Ophthalmology by V. A. Alekseev, V. G. Kostin, A. V. Usoltseva, V. P. Usoltsev, S. I. Yuran

“…When using excimer laser vision correction devices, it has been proposed to change the angle of the laser beam incidence on the cornea with a distance from the working area (ablation zone) center to the periphery during the surgery by introducing an optical corrective system based on a lightweight controllable and movable mirror, which allows achieving the coincidence of the direction of the laser beam incidence on the corneal surface with the normal.The studies have shown that the coincidence of the laser beam incidence on the corneal surface at any point with the normal when using a priori data on the specifics of the patient's eye allows expanding the functional opportunities of excimer laser photoablation, i. e., expand the ablation zone by 30 % and eliminate the possibility of errors caused by the human factor. …”
