Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the nervous system which causes one to not be able to control their normal movements. The way this works is that there is a malfunction and death of neurons in the brain , specifically substantia nigra, which is the movement control center in the brain. These dying neurons…

With the growth of the plan, it does not have enough nutrients, so the reproductive structures in the upper nodes does not get enough nutrients to elongate. So they have shorter length. The elongation occurs during 2-20 days post anthesis. As the bolls on the higher nodes stays less time, they don’t complete all the development stages specially elongation. So higher the node, the length of the fibers becomes low. Fiber length is influenced largely by the extreme temperatures, water stress. The…

Earthen materials show interesting environmental advantages when used to build [1]. These materials are becoming increasingly important in the context of the modern desire of construction materials which are less highly processed and have low toxicity [2][3][4]. Nowadays, there are several available techniques where these materials can be used with structural purposes, namely as earth blocks (adobe), compressed earth blocks (CEB), rammed earth and cob [5] but the lack of scientific data and lack…
