English

Subject field(s)
  • Preparation of Leather and Leather Articles
CONT

Polyurethane leather is ... in trend as a substitute for natural leather. It is used primarily as an upper material for shoes, bags and luggage, for automotive interiors and as a coating for ball surfaces, for example. The systems are suitable for use as a finish, topcoat, intermediate coat and an adhesion coat on textile substrates. The success of polyurethane leather is due in part to its economical production, but above all to its property profile which is nearly the equal of, and in some aspects superior to, that of natural leather.

CONT

With properties similar to genuine leathers, PU synthetic leather has been widely used in the manufacturing of shoes, handbags, furniture, accessories, and sports equipment. Superior durability, good hand, and breathability have truly made PU synthetic leather a perfect substitute for genuine leather. San Fang produces both woven and non-woven substrate PU coated leathers. The outstanding finishing techniques have successfully earned global recognition for its products.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Education Theory and Methods
CONT

... an online training programme is only as good as the trainers, copywriters and designers who made it. In this sense it is not that different from classroom training. A good trainer who is behind his material, and who speaks from a wealth of experience, can enliven the dullest training. Similarly, a good trainer(assisted by an experienced design team) will offer the user a genuine learning opportunity whether it is on a computer or not. As such, online training is as much trainer-led as the other variety.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Silviculture
CONT

P. cineraria is a genuine multipurpose species. It yields excellent firewood and produces high-quality charcoal. The wood is hard and reasonably durable with a variety of small timber uses. The foliage provides nutritious fodder, maximum yields being produced when the trees are pollarded on a three-year rotation. Palatability is good. The pods also provide good fodder, and when young, are a popular vegetable in the human diet in parts of India and Pakistan. In times of famine the bark of the tree is pounded into flour and made into cakes. The bark yields edible gums, is used locally in leather tanning, and is reported to be used to treat scorpion stings and snake bites. The flowers are valuable in honey production.
