Sobre IBD

Cotton is the most important natural textile fiber, as well as cellulosic textile fiber, in the world, used to produce apparel, home furnishings, and industrial products. Worldwide about 38% of the fiber consumed in 2004 was cotton. Cotton is grown mostly for fiber but it is also a food crop (cottonseed)-the major end uses for cottonseeds are vegetable oil for human consumption; whole seed, meal, and hulls for animal feed; and linters for batting and chemical cellulose. Cotton fibers are seed hairs from plants of the order Malvales, family Malvaceae, tribe Gossypieae, and genus Gossypium. Cotton fiber is one of the most widely used cellulosic fibers in the textile industry because of its excellent properties over the other, especially synthetic ones. Some are availability, lightweight, low density, low cost, biodegradability, air permeability, comfort, etc. Cotton is a warm-weather plant, cultivated in both hemispheres, mostly in North and South America, Asia, Africa, and India (in tropical latitudes).

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...

  • Hand Book of Basic Textile Weave and Knit Design
    Haymanot Tadege / Mihret Zegan
    Weaving is the interlacing of two sets of yarns, namely warp and weft at right angle in order to product fabric. In woven construction the yarns that are placed lengthwise or parallel to the selvedge (edges of the cloth) are called warp yarns. Each thread or yarn in the warp is called an end. The yarns that run crosswise are called weft (filling) yarns and each thread in the we...
