Robinson A number of ectoparasiticides are used on sheep to protect the animals from ill health associated with infestations of lice and the effects of fly-strike. Most of the compounds currently in use are organophosphate- or pyrethroid-based and have been used for 15-20 years, or more. In more recent times, as with other pest control strategies, there has been a tendency to introduce 'newer' pesticides, principally in the form of insect growth regulators (IGRs).

II.C. 2 Price: $U.5. 1.50 (or equivalent in other currencies) FOREWORD This report represents part II of the World Economic Survey, 1962. As indicated in the Foreword to part I, "The Developing Countries in World Trade" (Sales No.: 63.II.C.1), it consists of three chapters dealing with recent developments in the world economy. Chapter 1 analyses the situation in the industrially advanced private enterprise countries. Chapter 2 reviews current trends in the countries that are heavily dependent on the export of primary commodities. Chapter 3 provides an account of recent changes in the centrally planned economies. The three chapters follow a brief introduction which draws attention to some of the salient features of the current situation. Most of the analysis is concerned with the calendar year 1962; chapters 1 and 2 conclude with brief assessments of the outlook for 1963. These discussions of outlook draw to a large extent on the replies of Governments to a questionnaire on economic trends, problems and policies circulated by the Secretary-General in November 1962. Like part I, part II of the World Economic Survey, 1962 was prepared in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs by the Bureau of General Economic Research and Policies. iii EXPLANATORY NOTES The following

  • Grafting of Bamboo Rayon with Acrylic Acid and Its Effect on Cationic Dyeing
    CELLULOSE CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY GRAFTING OF BAMBOO RAYON WITH ACRYLIC ACID AND ITS EFFECT ON CATIONIC DYEING M. D. TELI and JAVED SHEIKH Department of Fibres and Textile Processing Technology, Institute of Chemical Technology, Matunga, Mumbai-400019, India Received May 30, 2011 Bamboo is considered to be an important biopolymer source with useful applications in various fields, including the textile industry. In the present study, the bamboo rayon fabric has been grafted with acrylic acid using potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. The graft copolymerization parameters were optimized in terms of temperature, time, initiator concentration and monomer concentration. The grafted product was characterized by FTIR, TGA and SEM analyses, and was further evaluated as to properties like moisture regain and yellowness index. The ungrafted and grafted fabrics were then dyed using cationic dyes. The colour strength increased with an increase in the carboxyl content of the grafted product. The dyed samples showed a distinct improvement in fastness properties. Keywords: bamboo rayon, grafting, dyeing, cationic dyes INTRODUCTION Renewable resources are of increasing interest to bamboo and viscose rayon fibres. Moreover, as in our modern society, due to their positive effects there are a number of voids in the cross section of on agriculture, environment and economy.1 Being bamboo and viscose rayon fibres, they have a renewable raw materials, biopolymers are gaining higher moisture absorption capacity.6-7 considerable importance, given the limited Graft copolymerization of various vinyl quantity of existing fossil supplies and the recent monomers onto cellulose is a process attempting environment conservation regulations.
