Title: Modification and characterization of flax synthetic blend fiber on textile properties.
1.
ABSTRACT
Linum usitatissimum or commonly known as flax which has been commercially using as a crop and food which is cultivated in cooler region in the world. The textile made from flax known as Linen in the western countries. Canada is the leading country in the world for production of flax.
An investigation will be carried out to modify and characterize

Mashiur Rahman working with various kinds of textile fibers. He has done lot of research work on fiber and published many publications related with fiber and fiber properties. My project is based on fiber area and my advisor also research on this area so it is very much match with his work area.
Also, he works om medical textiles, geotextiles, nanotechnology

Description: Hemp fiber contain non-cellulosic materials in the fiber structure and it can’t be spun through the cotton spinning system. Author has investigated to identify the spinning properties of hemp fibers including strength, length and length variation, single fiber entity, fineness, bending modulus, and softness by removing non-cellulosic materials through different chemical and enzyme treatments. The softness of treated samples, with the highest weight loss (%), was found to be improved by about 2.6 times more than the virgin hemp fiber.

From the early 1800’s through the Civil War, Kentucky hemp fiber was processed in large amounts. Dr. Hopkins does a good job discussing how the successful cultivation of hemp for commercial use really is dependent on a proper climate and good soil and for decades, Kentucky lead the nation in production of hemp without having an ideal climate. The average hemp crop produced almost eight hundred pounds an acre. Saying this, hemp requires fertile soil yet crops were grown in the same fields with little to no fertilization. This is because of restoration of the soil done by the decaying process of the
The reference material used to construct this investigation has been drawn from a collection of primary and secondary
Hemp is much more durable than cotton, and is easier to harvest, more flexible, and isn’t damaged by extended exposure to water. The first denim jean made by Levi Stratuss’ were made of hemp. Hemp grows faster and thrives in almost all climates. Hemp yields approximately 250% more fiber than cotton when looking at the same amount of crops. Cotton uses twice as much water as hemp does to produce a pound of material.
Hemp Seeds Are Too Nutritious To Ignore Although hemp has been used for thousands of years for everything from clothing, paper and bowstrings, there are still a lot of misconceptions about this plant. It is important to note that hemp is not the same variant of Cannabis as the one used for marijuana. In contrast to marijuana, there are virtually negligible levels of the psychoactive substance, tetrahydrocannabinol, in hemp seeds compared to marijuana (http://www.naihc.org/hemp_information/content/hemp.mj.html). In fact, what makes hemp seeds so special is the fact that they are exceptionally nutritional, as these following facts demonstrates.
It is my great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Zafar Anwar. I have had the pleasure of viewing Mr. Anwar’s professional development over the past two years, and I can state with confidence that he is a motivated and responsible person with a high degree of integrity. As such, I expect that he will be a very positive addition to your institution. As an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner in the Cardiothoracic ICU at Maimonides Medical Center, I feel that I know Mr. Anwar quite well.
Texas Political Culture There are multiple classifications for political cultures Moralistic political culture- ones believe that the government should promote the public good and in order to ensure that good the citizens should participate in politics and civic activities Individualistic political culture- ones believe that the government must limit their role when providing to society in order to make the citizens able to pursue their economic interests Traditionalistic political culture- ones believe that the government should controlled by political elites and must be guided by tradition.

Hygienic materials, house material, composites for autos, and construction materials are often made from hemp. Also the whole petroleum/oil war going on the middle east, hemp can make cars mobile. Since hemp is the byproduct of cannabis, these materials would be manufactured at a cheap price. Numerous amounts of farms, stores, and manufacturing facilities would produce employment opportunities for our society, increase industry, and improve the economy. Lawmakers need to open their eyes and look at the bigger picture.
Cotton can be used for clothing and other household items, as well for putting on the market or trading. I would also be able to grow vegetables for my personal consumption, selling, or trading. If I live in this location, however, I’d must cope with high temperatures. I’m personally not too fond of the heat, but it’s beneficial for the growth of my
I would like to start off by saying some thank yous to those who made this day possible. To my parents for the much needed love and support To my family and friends and to the people who helped with my eagle project And thank you all for attending my court of honor Over the past 13 years, scouting has taught me a lot of things that will stay with me the rest of my life. It has taught me, don’t use gasoline to start a fire.

In all seven documents, you can see all are struggling with struggle of not having enough tools or technology to complete their tasks. As you read these documents you can see that most of our of our technology would have helped make their lives much easier. Document one shows us that even without the advanced technology we have today we can still manage to survive on the little things we have. This plant did the tasks of several things while it still managed to be one. The “Maguey Plant” found in the valley of Mexico in the early 16th century handled the fourteen “advanced technologies” we have.

And why haven't I ever heard of them? I explain that in modern times, with so many inexpensive synthetic reproductions made to resemble natural products, the organic Luffa sponge has largely been forgotten. The most common misconception, that the organic Luffa sponge, or rag gourd, comes from the ocean, is blown out of the “water”. Actually, it is a relative of the cucumber family and has been grown for thousands of years in many tropical areas of the world.
