Fibre The fibres in kenaf are found in the bast (bark) and core (wood).

61 189. International Year of Natural Fibres, 2009

Photonic crystal fibres were first developed by Philip Russell in 1998, and can be designed to possess enhanced properties over (normal) optical fibres.

Most of these fibres terminate in the lateral geniculate body.

1. Decides to declare 2009 the International Year of Natural Fibres

Sang e Bast () is a village in Harazpey ye Jonubi Rural District, in the Central District of Amol County, Mazandaran Province, Iran.

Examples include natural fibres, organic agricultural products, recyclable and biodegradable products or sustainably produced forest products.

Although such techniques have yet to mature into commercial applications, two dimensional photonic crystals have found commercial use in the form of photonic crystal fibres (otherwise known as holey fibres, because of the air holes that run through them).

the bark provides strong and durable fibres, the tree is fire resistant and can survive severe droughts,

It was concluded that those at greatest risk are workers who handle asbestos fibres for various uses.

Hard fibres such as sisal, jute, coir and abaca may be mentioned as examples in this regard.

Such products include natural fibres, medicinal plants, tropical fruits and natural ingredients for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

In Chile, this means in particular those workers who have been exposed to fibres from the manufacture of construction materials.

Processing these fibres into a variety of finished goods provides a straightforward option for increasing diversification, value addition and income generation.

The core is about 60 of the plant and has thick (ø 38 µm) but short (0.5 mm) and thin walled (3 µm) fibres.

Chrysotile asbestos was included as a subject of an IPCS Environmental Health Criteria document (Asbestos and other Natural Mineral Fibres, EHC 53) published in 1986.

In biology, the nuclear matrix is the network of fibres found throughout the inside of a cell nucleus and is somewhat analogous to the cell cytoskeleton.

36. Until the 1950s the size of drift nets was necessarily limited by the weight of the natural fibres (hemp or cotton) of which they were made.

The fibres from the retina run along the optic nerve to nine primary visual nuclei in the brain, from which a major relay inputs into the primary visual cortex.

From 1845 (when this was discovered by Schmidt) until 1958 (when cellulose fibres were found in mammalian connective tissue), ascidians were believed to be the only animals that synthesised cellulose.

Both these projects aim at improving the quality and presentability of products of the two fibres, so that these products would be in a better position to compete with other substitutes.

He is also known for his discovery in 1839 of Purkinje fibres, the fibrous tissue that conducts electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node to all parts of the ventricles of the heart.

Swietenia Macrophyila not only contains higher active ingredients than those grown in other locations but also offers a valuable blend of natural proteins vitamins carbohydrates enzymes dietary fibres fats minerals and various essential nutrients

LLINs are factory treated to incorporate the insecticide within or bound to the netting fibres and resist multiple washes, thereby remaining effective for the entire lifespan on the net (that is between 4 5 years).

While food products are the ones that first come to mind in this context, the same situation holds for most other products, including agricultural raw materials such as cotton and other fibres and even plywood.

In the field of health and medicine, the Committee noted that a filter made of nanoaluminium oxide fibres could be used to remove impurities from drinking water in areas on Earth where water was scarce and potentially contaminated.

The optic nerve leaves the orbit (eye socket) via the optic canal, running postero medially towards the optic chiasm, where there is a partial decussation (crossing) of fibres from the temporal visual fields (the nasal hemi retina) of both eyes.

Our jute industry and jute products are more acceptable, in environmental terms, than various chemical and synthetic products. However, in the face of the massive expansion of the use of synthetic fibres that pollute the environment our jute industry is threatened with extinction.

Millions of people in several countries, including Bangladesh, depend on the jute industry for their living. Thus, the production of synthetic fibres must be stopped, in the interests of the environment as well as of the millions who toil in the jute sector.

The introduction of synthetic fibres and the growing utilization of hydraulic winches allowed fishermen to fish with longer sets of nets, thus increasing the fishing power of the gear, but also increasing the incidental catches of non targeted species, in particular marine mammals.

It has torn at the fibres of society in our small island developing States and has obliged our Governments to divert scarce resources from socio economic development to wage costly battles against illicit trafficking networks and to put in place expensive treatment and rehabilitation strategies.

Owing to the high level of statistical aggregation, this grouping provides only a broad picture of agro industries it also includes certain products which do not embody agricultural inputs as their principal raw material, such as textiles made from artificial or synthetic fibres and synthetic rubber.

Noting also that the diverse range of natural fibres produced in many countries provides an important source of income for farmers, and thus can play an important role in contributing to food security and in eradicating poverty and hence in contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals,
