In order to optimize the size of wood fiber reinforced polymer, and extend the application field of wood fiber reinforced polymer composites and improve the safety of their use, four size of wood fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were prepared by forming mat-compression molding. The four kinds of fibers of different size include 80-120 mesh, 40-80 mesh, 20-40 mesh and 10-20 mesh fibers. The flexural performance, impact resistance performance and 24 hours creep - 24 hours recovery of the composites are studied. Fiber of 20-40 mesh presents the best flexural and impact resistance performance. The flexural strength, the elastic modulus and the impact strength reach 26.71MPa, 2.73Gpa and 6.88 KJ/m2 respectively. The impact performance of wood fiber/HDPE composites do not change a lot, while the fiber size increases from 10 to 80 mesh. However, the composites containing 80-120 mesh fibers has minimum impact performance. The creep performance of the wood fiber/HDPE composites with 80-120 mesh is the worst. After 24h creep test, the strain of the other three groups is almost the same. Creep recovery of the composites reinforced with 40-80 mesh fiber is the worst (61.74%). The creep recovery of the other three is above seven percent. Therefore, excessively large or small fiber size proves to be negative to improve the mechanical and creep performance, and polymer composites reinforced by them are not suitable for work under long-term load.

<p>Lettuce (<em>Lactuca sativa</em> L.) is vegetables with high nutrient content and interest more people, meanwhile producing optimum, yet, therefore, need hydroponic substrate to increase productivity. The orange wood fiber is a waste produced by palm industry manufacturer. The waste of Arenga wood fibers has not used maximum yet, so if it’s piled up will be affects the ecosystem in around. We need to utilize the waste of Arenga wood fiber to be a substrate hydroponic. The aim of this research is to know the maximum of Arenga wood fiber composition in several sizes which is combined with the sands. It’s for increasing the growth and lettuce yield. The method of this research is completely randomized design with two factorials. They are the Arenga wood fiber composition with sand and size of Arenga wood fiber. The main variable of observation is root length, wide of leaves, and fresh weight of lettuce. The result of observation showed that the Arenga wood fiber composition and the sand composition for cultivation lettuce consist of 25% of Arenga wood fiber and 75% (1:3) of various size of sand. The highest root was 12.6 cm and it produced wide of leaves was 1602.3 cm<sup>2</sup> and increased the fresh plants until 53.7 g.</p>

Tension wood (TW) is an abnormal tissue of hardwood trees; although it has been isolated from most parts of the tree, it is frequently found on the upper side of branches and leaning stems. TW has been classically associated with geotropic alignment, but more recently it has been associated with fast growth. Paper made from TW is generally lower in strength properties. Consequently, the paper industries' growing dependence on fast growing, short- rotation trees will result in higher amounts of TW in the final product and a corresponding reduction in strength.Relatively few studies have dealt with the role of TW in the structure of paper. It was suggested that the lower strength properties of TW were due to a combination of factors, namely, its unique morphology, compression failures in the cell wall, and lower hemicellulose content. Central to the unique morphology of the TW fiber is the thick gelatinous layer (G-layer) composed almost entirely of pure cellulose.

SummaryThis study was performed to quantitate the impact of several glycosaminoglycans (GAG) on fibrin assembly and structure. Gel formation was monitored as the increase in optical density at 633 nm subsequent to thrombin (2 NIH u/ml) or atroxin (0.10 mg/ml) addition to solutions of buffered fibrinogen (1 mg/ml) or plasma. Gel absorbance was measured as a function of wavelength (400 to 800 nm) and gel fiber diameter and mass/length ratio (μ) were calculated. Chondroitin sulfate A (CSA)shortened the lag phase, enhanced the maximal rate of turbidity increase, and increased the final gel turbidity of fibrin gels formed by thrombin or atroxin. CSA (16 mg/ml) increased fiber μ from 1.3 to 3.1 × 1013 dalton/cm and fiber radius from 6.0 to 8.6 × 10-6 cm in thrombin-induced gels. μ increased from 0.7 to 2.7 × 1013 dalton/cm and fiber radius from 4 to 7.8 × 10-6 cm for atroxin-induced gels. Above 16 mg/ml, CSA caused fibrinogen precipitation in purified solutions but not in plasma. CSA inhibited thrombin-induced plasma clotting of plasma but effects in atroxin-mediated plasma gels paralleled those seen in purified solutions. Chondroitin sulfate B (CSB)-induced changes in fibrin were similar but slightly less dramatic than those seen with CSA. μ increased from 0.9 to 2.0 × 1013 dalton/cm for thrombin-induced fibrin gels and from 0.8 to 2.3 × 1013 dalton/cm for atroxininduced gels. Low molecular weight heparin (Mr = 5100) slowed fibrin assembly and reduced fiber size by 50% in thrombininduced gels. Changes in μ of atroxin-induced gels were much less pronounced (<20%). This study documents pronounced GAGinduced changes in fibrin structure which vary with GAG species and may mediate significant physiologic functions.
