Young people’s social relationships are fostered, enacted, and complicated by the discursive and constitutive spatial contexts in which they occur. The focus of our study was the ways the spaces of the school canteen - and ...
Characterization of Novel Lignocellulosic Spinifex littoreus Fibers and Their Composites
(2020-04-07)
This innovative work presents mechanical, physical and chemical characterization and analysis of newly extracted fiber from naturally resourced plant stem, named Spinifex littoreus fibers (SLF). This is a novel natural, ...
Beta-glucans in advanced CKD : role in endotoxaemia and inflammation
(2020-04-06)
BACKGROUND/AIMS: (1-3)-β-D glucans (BG) are cellular components of yeasts and fungi. Elevated blood levels may be an adjunct in diagnosing invasive fungal infection, though can be high in dialysis patients without fungaemia. ...
