SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS TO CONCRETE MASONRY PARTITION WALLS: LIGHT-WEIGHT WALL PANEL USING POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE (PMMA) AND SHREDDED WASTE METALIZED FILM PACKAGING

The amount of plastic waste produced yearly is significantly increasing.Approximately 300-400 million metric tons of plastic waste are produced yearly.One of the dominant plastic wastes is a metalized film, a shiny, non-homogeneous polymer used in packaging that is considered the least recycled.Meanwhile, partition walls in buildings are traditiona

BACKGROUND:Cancers of the oral cavity are primarily oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs).Many of the OSCCs present at late stages with an exceptionally poor prognosis.A probable limitation in management of patients with OSCC lies in the insufficient knowledge pertaining to the linkage between copy number alterations in OSCC and oral tumourigenesis

This paper explores the strong potential of chemical mining of wastewater for markers of community-wide intake of wide-ranging harmful chemicals belonging to several usage groups: industrial chemicals, personal care products, pesticides, illicit drugs, lifestyle chemicals and prescription pharmaceuticals as a proxy for multi-chemical community-wide

Plants have the potency to regenerate adventitious roots from aerial organs after detachment.In Arabidopsis thaliana, de novo root regeneration (DNRR) from leaf explants is triggered by wounding signaling that rapidly induces the expression of the ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) transcription factors ERF109 and ABR1 (ERF111).In turn, the ERFs promot
