TANGY Silk was an expensive fashionable fabric in 1920s and 1930s. Due to its smooth texture and the fabricating process, it is the most complicated among silk products. Through the instruction of TANGY Silk’s manufacturing technique, this paper discusses its ecology, expounds its value and probes into the prospect of TANGY Silk.

On several previous occasions the author has described in the pages of the Geological Magazine certain fossils from so-called “Slade Beds” from the roadside near St. Martin's Cemetery, Haverfordwest. A large collection of fossils has been made by Mr. V. M. Turnbull from this particular locality during the last few years and presented to the Sedgwick Museum. From a prolonged study of this material and comparison with the typical fauna of the Slade Beds as described by Messrs. Marr & Roberts, the conclusion has been forced upon me that we have here to deal with a higher palæontological horizon than the true Upper Bala of this district, and that there is much more reason for putting it in the Silurian than for keeping it in the Ordovician. The stratigraphical evidence which has subsequently become available is in support of this view. A list of the fossils from this bed may be useful at the present moment, particularly as the Sedgwick Museum possesses by far the most extensive series which has been collected from it (see opposite page, 537).The rock in which they occur is a greenish-grey, fine-grained, argillaceous mudstone with occasionally minute specks of mica and a little arenaceous material, but usually of a very uniform smooth texture. It breaks in an irregular, often subconchoidal manner, and is devoid of any regular or weil-marked planes of division. Exposed surfaces and the fossils themselves are generally more or less iron-stained. In appearance and general characters it is difficult or impossible to distinguish the rock from the higher beds of the Slade Series, but the fauna is completely different.

The genus Typopeltis Pocock, 1894 is poorly known regarding its systematics, natural history, and distribution, despite important taxonomic advances during the 1990s. Currently, only 13 species are known from East Asia, including areas in south China, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Taiwan. In this work, we describe and illustrate a new species of Typopeltis from Vietnam and provide a new description for the male of T.guangxiensis Haupt & Song, 1996. Additionally, we describe and illustrate the female gonopod of T.guangxiensis for the first time and propose a new homology hypothesis for the male gonopod parts. The male of T.laurentianussp. n. is characterized by the unique patellar apophysis that presents a smooth texture and no spines. Typopeltislaurentianussp. n. is the third species of this genus to be described from Vietnam.

ABSTRACT Breadfruit leaves (Artocarpus altilis) was contain compound of flavonoids, tannins and phenol that the ability as antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The extracts of breadfruit leaves formulated became ointment that made practice to used. The combine of ointment bases can obtain of good consistency like the combine of adeps lanae with vaselin album and cera flava with vaselin album. The aims of this study to know the profile of antibacterial activity of the breadfruit leaves extract ointment with two kind of the combine of ointment bases. The breadfruit leaves extract has obtained by maceration method used etanol 70% solvents. The breadfruit leaves ointment was made by melting method with combination bases A is adeps lanae:vaselin album as F1 (13.5%:76.5%), F2 (45%:45%) dan F3 (76.5%:13.5%), while combination B is cera alba:vaselin album as F1 (85.5%:4.5%), F2 (81%:9%), F3 (76.5%:13.5%). antibacterial activity assay was used well diffusion method and analyzed descriptively. The research result that the all formulas has breadfruit flavor, smooth texture and brown color. Two variatons of combination bases ointment has antibacterial activity against Staphylcoccus aureus bacteri with formed of inhibition zone around the well. Keywords: Breadfruit leaves extract, ointment, antibacterial, combination of ointment bases

Little is known about the relationship between cycads and J. elongata. Since June 2009, adults J. elongata were observed feeding on Ceratozamia huastecorum in the Sierra de Otontepec; Cycas revoluta and C. circinalis in public and private gardens in three locations in northern Veracruz. Its arrival is sudden and occurs at the end of spring. It presents gregarious or solitary behavior. It feeds on the leaflets with smooth texture and sometimes the rachis. Large populations of adult J. elongata occur in the morning and have been removed by the inhabitants to avoid damage to their cycads, this has disrupted the careful observation of their behavior and the possible meeting of larvae, pupae and eggs. Only 5 % of the population C. huastecorum has been affected, while big Cycas revoluta and C. circinalis have been infested to 100 %.

This study describes a method to simulate cloth texture deformation using a neural network model. The cloth texture may be represented by its texture colors, positions and its topological structures. In addition, the relationship between the texture colors can be deduced based on the smooth texture and the two and three dimensional texture deformation are correspondingly concerned. A multilayered single direction neural network model is adopted to numerically represent the cloth texture for the purpose of speeding up the simulation. The color values of the points on the cloth deformed curved surface can be calculated with such neural network model. The experimental results show that such method is efficient and executable for the regularized texture deformation.

The objective of this research was to fabricate sustained release piperine microspheres and further, to demonstrate piperine’s hepatoprotective activity in a 12-day CCl4-administered mice model, after a one-time injection of the formulation. Two different emulsion-solvent evaporation techniques were employed to fabricate the microspheres, that is, with and without a surfactant using drug/polycaprolactone in different ratios and optimum formulations were determined. Microscopy demonstrated that the optimum formulations were spherical and had smooth texture with no drug crystals or microsphere aggregation. These particles could be administered for a variety of benefits piperine has, using different routes including oral, nasal, parenteral, etc. Particles fabricated using no surfactant was selected as the final formulation for in vivo hepatoprotective investigations. Piperine characteristics in this formulation remained the same, as determined by FTIR and a sustained release for 16 days, in vitro, was observed. Microspheres containing 2 mg piperine were administered intraperitoneally in the animal model. As controls, either no drug or drug as suspension was administered orally and intraperitoneally. SGOT, SGPT and liver-histology that were determined after           12 days, demonstrated the reversal in elevation of SGOT but not SGPT by the microspheres. Histology proved the particles more effective than other controls used
