Thymelaceae family‚ genus Wikstroemia sp. It is cultivated in Formosa in commercial scale. Although no salago plantation existed in the Philippines in the early twenties‚ the species of Wikstroemia indica were collected in the slopes of Mt. Mayon. The fiber was then exported to Japan as according to the District Forester stationed in Legazpi City‚ it was utilized by the Japanese for currency-making during World War II. The salago plant can be found all over the country and is known by different names

motor nerves‚ or motor neurons‚ that carry signals in the form of nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord‚ to the skeletal muscles. Although a motor neuron can innervate several fibers‚ each muscle fiber can only be innervated by one motor neuron. This combination of a single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers is referred to as a motor unit. Using electromyogram (EMG) technology‚ I am able to measure the electrical

Unidirectional Ply- longitudinal modulus: The Figure 1 clearly shows the orthogonal axes and fiber direction‚ the fiber directions. The first approximation made is E3= E4. And also for deriving the rules of mixtures the following assumptions are made: Fibers are uniform‚ parallel and continuous. Perfect bonding exists between fibers and matrix. A longitudinal load produces equal strain in fiber and matrix. Using the above assumptions and approximations two rules of mixtures

constructed‚ one of the most important decisions you will likely need to make is to choose the type of siding you prefer. Fiber cement siding and wood siding are both excellent options‚ but each type has advantages and disadvantages. Comparing the differences between the two types of siding can help you make the choice that is just right for your unique property. Difference in Cost Fiber cement siding does not cost substantially more than quality vinyl siding. However‚ wood siding is almost always the

cardiac muscle is considered to be autorhythmic or intrinsically controlled. The cells of cardiac muscle tissue are striated—that is‚ they appear to have light and dark stripes when viewed under a light microscope. The arrangement of protein fibers inside of the cells causes these light and dark bands. Striations indicate that a muscle cell is very strong‚ unlike visceral muscles. The cells of cardiac muscle are branched X or Y shaped cells tightly connected together by special junctions

Despite the fact that it is largely preventable‚ dental caries is the most common chronic disease of childhood [1]. Caries in very young children known as early childhood caries may be defined according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry “as the presence of one or more decayed‚ missing (due to caries)‚ or filled tooth

consisted of thick-walled fibers and vessels‚ similar to fiber-reinforced-matrix composite material. Bamboo fibers are parallel to the axis of internode culm‚ and more concentrated at the upper part of culm and towards the outer layer of the cross section of wall-thickness. As a result‚ bamboo possesses the optimum capacity for load bearing. Mechanical properties of bamboo The mechanical properties of culm depend on the bamboo fiber distribution and orientation‚ since the fibers are mainly responsible

1. The total amount of fiber that I consumed for the day was 39 grams. 2. The total amount of fiber recommended for my age group according to (Williams & Wilkins‚ 2013) is thirty-eight grams. I happened to be one gram above the fiber recommended daily intake for the age group of 19-50 years of age. 3. To increase an individual’s fiber intake I highly recommend simply replacing refined with whole grain products. One tip on getting more fiber into your daily diet is to try getting
