[Tractatus de natale sanctorum Scillitanorum in Basilica Novarum

'Discourse on the birthday of the Scillitan saints in the Basilica Novarum]

1. Martyrum Christi uirorum et feminarum fortitudo Christus. Si enim uiri soli in passione fortes exsisterent, sexui fortiori uirtus tribueretur. Ideo fortiter pati et infirmior sexus potuit, quia Deus in omnibus potuit ...

'1. The strength, the fortitude, of Christ's martyrs, men and women alike, is Christ. If men, alone, you see, stood out as being brave and strong in suffering, their courage would be attributed to the stronger sex. The reason the weaker sex too has been able to suffer bravely, is that God was able make it possible in people of all sorts ...'

There follows a general reflection on martyrdom. Later on (ch. 2) Augustine refers to the words spoken by one of the martyrs which indeed can be found in the Acts of the Scillitan Martyrs:

Illo magisterio edocta fortissima femina; honore, inquit, Caesari tamquam Caesari: timorem autem Deo.

'Taught by this magisterial lesson, that most valiant woman said: "Honour to Caesar as Caesar, but reverence to God".'

In what follows the preacher deals with the issue of wealth.

description: Martyrdom of Babylas (BHG 205)

Summary:

§ 1: The emperor Numerian sacrifices to demons and attempts to enter the church, but Babylas stands at the gate and prohibits his entrance. Numerian has him arrested.

§ 2: Next day, the emperor sits at the palace and summons Babylas. The latter warns him about his betrayal of God.

§ 3: Babylas continues his teaching about the true God.

§ 4: Numerian demands that Babylas offer sacrifice. They converse about the nature of god and man.

§ 5: Numerian orders the dux Viktorinos to put fetters on Babylas’ neck and legs. The saint gives thanks to God.

§ 6: Numerian calls Babylas a teacher of fools (νήπιοι/nepioi; the word is synonymous for a young child/toddler in Greek), and the bishop states that he is indeed a teacher of fools/children, and has three young children, being raised by him. They demonstrate great steadfastness in the faith.

§ 7: Numerian summons the children and their mother, Theodoule. The emperor has her flogged, but the children protest that she is of noble birth. They confirm that have been raised by Babylas. Theodoule reports that her sons are twelve, nine, and seven years old.

§ 8: Numerian threatens Babylas that he will have him decapitated unless he sacrifices. Babylas mocks the pagan gods.

§ 9: The three children are suspended for torture, while Babylas wears his heavy fetters. The children reproach Numerian for torturing Babylas.

§ 10: Numerian has Babylas closed in a cell, and talks to the children alone. They refuse to apostatise.

§ 11: Numerian interrogates Babylas about the children. He admits that they are his children in God, but not his natural children, because he has never been with a woman. Numerian demands that he apostatise and convince the children to do the same. Babylas threatens him that he will be defeated by the barbarians.

§ 12: Numerian resolves that Babylas and the children be decapitated. Babylas declares that he wishes to be buried with his fetters as a reminder of this tyrant. He is taken together with the children to his martyrdom, offering up prayers of thanks. The children are decapitated first, followed by Babylas. His head is buried with his chains.

description: Augustine of Hippo, Sermon 299 F

[In natale sanctorum martyrum Scillitanorum

'On the birthday of the holy Scillitan martyrs']

1. De martyribus Christi, hoc est de testibus Christi, qui non sunt confusi confiteri nomen eius coram hominibus, dies huius sollemnitatis hortatur ...

'This solemn feast day is calling for something about the martyrs of Christ, that is about the witnesses of Christ, who were not ashamed to confess his name before men ...'

Augustine explains that the Greek term martyr means 'witness' and says:

Confessiones martyrum quorum hodie sollemnitas celebratur, cum recitarentur, audistis.

'You heard the confessions of the martyrs whose feast is celebrated today, when they were recited.'

Subsequently he refers to the Acts of the Scillitan martyrs, quoting the dialogue between the judge and the martyrs.

'4. Orent pro nobis martyres sancti ut non solum eorum sollemnia , uerum etiam eorum mores imitemur.'

'May the holy martyrs pray for us that we should not only celebrate their feasts, but also imitate their virtues.'

In the last part of the sermon Augustine persuades his audience to follow the example of the martyrs.

description: The creation of self-healing polymers with superior strength and stretchability from biodegradable materials is attracting increasing attention. In this study, we synthesized new biomass-derived cellulose acetate (CA) derivatives by ring-opening graft polymerization of δ-valerolactone followed by the introduction of ureidopyrimidinone (Upy) groups in the polymer side chains. Due to the semicrystalline aliphatic characteristics of the side chain poly(δ-valerolactone) (PVL) and quadruple hydrogen bonds formed by the Upy groups, the stretchability of the resulting polymers was significantly enhanced. Moreover, the shape memory ability and self-healing property (58.3% of self-healing efficiency) were successfully imparted to the polymer. This study demonstrates the great significance of using biomass sources to create self-healing polymers. This paper describes the first successful demonstration of self-healing polymers with superior strength and stretchability from a biodegradable material, cellulose acetate (CA). We initially introduced the ureidopyrimidinone (Upy) groups in the side chains of CA. However, the resulting polymer was not soluble and processable. In order to solve this issue, a new strategy based on the ring-opening graft polymerization of δ-valerolactone followed by the introduction of ureidopyrimidinone (Upy) groups was adopted. Due to the semicrystalline aliphatic characteristics of the side chain poly(δ-valerolactone) (PVL), the resulting polymers were soluble and processable. In addition, the quadruple hydrogen bonds formed by the Upy groups enhanced the stretchability of the resulting polymers. Moreover, the shape memory ability and self-healing property were successfully achieved due to the presence of PVL and Upy. The developed new strategy can be applied to a variety of polymers including biomass-based polymers and materials.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials with high critical temperatures (TC) and robust magnetic anisotropy energies (MAE) hold significant potential for spintronic applications. However, most of 2D magnetic materials are derived from the van der Waals (vdW) layered bulks, which greatly limits the synthesis of 2D magnetic materials. Here, 2D M3B4 (M = Cr, Mn, and Fe; B = Boron), derived from hexagonal and orthorhombic M3AlB4 phases by selectively etching Al layers, was studied for its structural stability, electronic structure, and magnetic properties. By utilizing ab initio calculations and Monte Carlo simulations, we found that the orthorhombic Cr3B4 shows ferromagnetic (FM) metal and possesses an in-plane magnetic easy axis, while the remaining hexagonal and orthorhombic M3B4 structures exhibit antiferromagnetic (AFM) metals with a magnetic easy axis which is perpendicular to the two-dimensional plane. The critical temperatures of these 2D M3B4 structures are found to be above the 130 K. Notably, the ort-Mn3B4 possesses highest TC (~600 K) and strongest MAE (~220 µeV/atom) among these borides-based 2D magnetic materials. Our findings reveal that the 2D M3B4 compounds exhibit much better resistance to deformation compared to M2B2 MBenes and other 2D magnetic materials. The combination of high critical temperature, robust MAE, and excellent mechanical properties makes 2D Mn3B4 monolayer exhibits a favorable potential for spintronic applications. Our research also sheds light on the magnetic coupling mechanism of 2D M3B4, providing valuable insights into its fundamental characteristics. Two-dimensional magnetic hexagonal and orthorhombic M3B4 compounds with significant stiffness to preserve their magnetic properties were discovered using DFT calculations and MC simulations.
Study Of The Effect Of Olive Mill Waste Water Sludge On Soil Chemical Properties And On Autochthonous Pear Millet Ecotype (Pennisetum Glaucum (L) R.BR) Behavior In Southern Tunisian
Creators: name: Dakhli, Raja

Subjects: Olive mill wastewater; Soil; pear millet; yield

description: The extraction of the oil produces olive mill waste water “OMWW” which has a very strong polluting power resulting in high levels of COD (chemical oxygen demand), high salinity and a strong phenolic compounds causing environmental pollution.

The exploitation of this waste without preliminary treatment is very limited considering its toxicity for soils and plants.

In Tunisia, 700,000 tons of OMWW (margines), produced annually, are generating many types of pollution. They are dried in special basins and then put in heap to be used as compost while an important fraction of the product is poured directly in the natural channel. The search for new technologies or processes for recovery of the effluent is necessary.

The spreading of OMWW in the sandy soils in arid conditions of southern Tunisia is a potential alternative for this purpose.

In this study, spreading of 20, 40 and 60 m³/ha was tested in the presence of one autochthonous pear millet ecotype Pennisetum glaucum (L) R.Br) collected from southern Tunisia in order to assess the impact of the incorporation of this effluent on soil Chemical properties.

The results of the study showed that at rate of 20 m³/ha, margines do not present risks regarding salinity, high concentrations of phenolic substances, high potassium content and pH. On the contrary, they induce an improvement of some chemical properties of the  soil (organic matter content and potassium) without improving the productivity of pear millet.

Application doses of Margines greater than 20 m³/ha generates a very significant decrease of yield of pear millet with disruptions of phenological stages as a result of the accumulation of phenolic substances and the excessive increase of the levels of sodium, chlorides and consequently higher levels of soil salinity in the short and long term.

description: Lignocellulosic materials have inherent complexities and natural nanoarchitectures, such as various chemical constituents in wood cell walls, structural factors such as fillers, surface properties, and variations in production. Recently, the development of lignocellulosic filler-reinforced polymer composites has attracted increasing attention due to their potential in various industries, which are recognized for environmental sustainability and impressive mechanical properties. The growing demand for these composites comes with increased complexity regarding their specifications. Conventional trial-and-error methods to achieve desired properties are time-intensive and costly, posing challenges to efficient production. Addressing these issues, our research employs a data-driven approach to streamline the development of lignocellulosic composites. In this study, we developed a machine learning (ML)-assisted prediction model for the impact energy of the lignocellulosic filler-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites. Firstly, we focused on the influence of natural supramolecular structures in biomass fillers, where the Fourier transform infrared spectra and the specific surface area are used, on the mechanical properties of the PP composites. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the ML model was verified by selecting and preparing promising composites. This model demonstrated sufficient accuracy for predicting the impact energy of the PP composites. In essence, this approach streamlines selecting wood species, saving valuable time. This paper introduces a data-driven method to efficiently design lignocellulosic polymer composites with high-impact energy, optimizing components and surface areas using infrared spectroscopic data.

description: Gregory of Tours, Glory of the Confessors 71

Aravatius, is said to have been bishop of Maastricht (Triiectensis episcopus) at the time of the Huns' invasion of Gaul [i.e. 451]. He was buried next to a bridge, but falling snow never moistened the marble on his tomb; even when it was deep, it did not touch the tomb.

Nam plerumque devotio studiumque fidelium oratorio construebant de tabulis ligneis levigatisque; sed protinus aut rapiebantur vento aut sponte ruebant. Et credo, idcirco ista fieri, donec veniret, qui dignam aedificaret fabricam in honore antestitis gloriosi. Procedente vero tempore adveniens in hac urbe Monulfus episcopus, templum magnum in eius honore construxit, conposuit ornavitque. In quo multo studio et veneratione translatum corpus magnis nunc virtutibus pollet.

Many times the devotion and zeal of believers constructed an oratory from woodedn planks that had been
planed smooth; but immediately the planks either were snatched by the wind or collapsed of their own accord. And I believe that this continued to happen until someone came along who constructed a worthy building in honour of the
glorious bishop. After some time passed Monulf became bishop of Maastricht. He built, arranged, and decorated a large church in honour of Aravatius. His body was translated into this church with great zeal and veneration, and
it is now distinguished with great miracles.

description: Targeted nanoparticles offer potential to selectively deliver therapeutics to cells; however, their subcellular fate following endocytosis must be understood to properly design mechanisms of drug release. Here we describe a nanoparticle platform and associated cell-based assay to observe lysosome trafficking of targeted nanoparticles in live cells. The nanoparticle platform utilizes two fluorescent dyes loaded onto PEG-poly(glutamic acid) and PEG-poly(Lysine) block co-polymers that also comprise azide reactive handles on PEG termini to attach antibody-based targeting ligands. Fluorophores were selected to be pH-sensitive (pHrodo Red) or pH-insensitive (Alexafluor 488) to report when nanoparticles enter low pH lysosomes. Dye-labelled block co-polymers were further assembled into polyion complex micelle nanoparticles and crosslinked through amide bond formation to form stable nano-scaffolds for ligand attachment. Cell binding and lysosome trafficking was determined in live cells by fluorescence imaging in 96-well plates and quantification of red- and green-fluorescence signals over time. The platform and assay was validated for selection of optimal antibody-derived targeting ligands directed towards CD22 for nanoparticle delivery. Kinetic analysis of uptake and lysosome trafficking indicated differences between ligand types and the ligand with the highest lysosome trafficking efficiency translated into effective DNA delivery with nanoparticles bearing the optimal ligand. The ability of this pH-sensitive reporter platform to rapidly screen ligands in nanoparticle format will enable identification and production of targeted NPs with desired lysosome trafficking properties.

description: Under the consumer-merchant bipartite network, we apply the indirect sampling approach to estimate merchant payment acceptance through a consumer payment diary. The records of in-person transactions in the consumer diary provide both the merchant sample via consumer-merchant linkages, and the merchant acceptance via consumers’ responses. Among merchants receiving multiple transactions, we show that the derived payment acceptance from the consumer reporting is high quality in terms of very few conflicts between usage and perception, and within perceptions. Furthermore, we show the necessity of weight adjustment to correct for the non-recorded-merchant bias due to the shorter duration of the diary (i.e., constrained to maximum three days). Finally, we compare our indirect sampling estimates to the ones from a direct sampling survey, and we find the results align well, which supports our indirect sampling application in terms of alleviating merchant response burden and reducing survey operation cost.
description: Nous appliquons la méthode d’échantillonnage indirect dans un réseau bipartite consommateurs-commerçants afin d’estimer l’acceptation des modes de paiement par les commerçants à l’aide d’un journal de paiements tenu par des consommateurs. Les transactions en personne consignées dans le journal nous fournissent à la fois : 1) l’échantillon de commerçants, obtenu à partir des liens entre les consommateurs et les commerçants; et 2) l’acceptation des modes de paiement par les commerçants, obtenue à partir des réponses des consommateurs. Parmi les commerçants où plus d’une transaction est effectuée, nous montrons que l’acceptation des modes de paiement dérivée des journaux des consommateurs est très bonne, du fait qu’il y a très peu de conflits entre l’utilisation et la perception, et entre les perceptions. De plus, nous montrons la nécessité d’ajuster les pondérations pour corriger le biais induit par l’absence de certains commerçants dans l’échantillon en raison de la durée plus courte visée par le journal (limitée à un maximum de trois jours). Enfin, nous comparons les estimations tirées de notre méthode d’échantillonnage indirect à celles d’une enquête par échantillonnage direct, et constatons que les résultats concordent bien. Ce constat soutient notre utilisation de la méthode d’échantillonnage indirect, laquelle permet également de ne pas mettre le fardeau de réponse sur les commerçants et de réduire les coûts de production de l’enquête.

description: In recent times, there has been a significant surge in research interest surrounding thermo-responsive water-soluble polyacrylamides, primarily due to their intriguing capability to undergo significant solubility changes in water. These polymers exhibit the remarkable ability to shift from a soluble to an insoluble state in response to temperature variations. The capacity of these polymers to dynamically respond to temperature changes opens up exciting avenues for designing smart materials with tunable properties, amplifying their utility across a spectrum of scientific and technological applications. Researchers have been particularly captivated by the potential applications of thermo-responsive water-soluble polyacrylamides in diverse fields such as drug delivery, gene carriers, tissue engineering, sensors, catalysis, and chromatography separation. This study reports the construction and functionalization of polymer gels consisting of a polymer network of polyacrylamide derivatives with nano-sized structural units. Specifically, thermo-responsive polymer gels were synthesized by combining well-defined star-shaped polymers composed of polyacrylamide derivatives with a multifunctional initiator and linking method through a self-accelerating click reaction. The polymerization system employed a highly living approach, resulting in polymer chains characterized by narrow molecular weight distributions. The method’s high functionality facilitated the synthesis of a temperature-responsive block copolymer gel composed of N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPA) and N-ethyl acrylamide (NEAA). The resulting polymer gel, comprising star-shaped block copolymers of NIPA and NEAA, showcases smooth volume changes with temperature jumps. This approach’s versatility was showcased by creating networks using widely-used vinyl polymers. It can generate various functional and nearly ideal gels and elastomers, allowing for investigating fundamental aspects of polymer networks.

Text: SEG 57, 1841.

Inscription 2:

Framed rectangular medallion set in the border of the carpet mosaic of the choir, in front of the apse.

'+ O Saint Kosmas and Damianos, remember your servant Mar[ia (?) - - -], (daugther of?) [- - -]alos (and?) [- - -]!'

Text: SEG 57, 1842.

Inscription 3:

Large rectangular panel framed by a tabula ansata, containing a Greek inscription of five lines. Set in the floor of the nave, in front of the chancel screen. Dimensions not specified.

The inscription has not been published. A fragmentary French translation was offered by Anne Michel in 2001, and was later lightly corrected by Michele Piccirillo in Liber Annuus and Leah Di Segni in SEG. This is certainly the building inscription of the church as it says that the shrine was completed or restored under bishop Axiopistos, country bishop (chorepiskopos) Kasiseos, priest Gilonos (?) and a monk (?) on 1st March, 12th indiction, in the year [5]18 of the era of the province of Arabia, which corresponds to 1st March AD 624. The work was funded by Thomas, son (?) of Arsenios, as a vow for the salvation of himself and of his family, under the supervision of priests Ioannes, Sergios, and Klimothaus (?).

An English translation is offered by Lihi Habas (2009, 76): 'In honour of the holiest of the saints the illustrious bishop Casisao head of the bishops Kilonous all ... the Saints Cosmas and Damianus, the work was carried out by the care of Thomas [son of?] Arsenius, for the sake of his redemption and the redemption of others. The work began in the days of Priest John ... and Sergius and Climothaus on the first of March in the twelfth indiction in the year ... 18.'

description: In their list of the places of Christian cult in the borderland of Jordan and Palestine, Sylvester Saller and Bellarmino Bagatti record at Sapsaphas 'a grotto and a church either in honor of St. John [the] B[aptist] or St. Elias [= Elijah, the Old Testament Prophet] or both'. It is, however, not specified, what was the basis for this identification (a dedicatory floor mosaic, a graffito, etc.). The site was revisited by Michele Piccirillo in 1995 and in 1997 was excavated by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan. The excavators unearthed a chapel with a single aisle and a squarish choir, and floor mosaics including a Greek inscription of five lines.

The site is discussed by Anne Michel. See also Manns 2011, 197-198 who mentions a marble fragment inscribed with the letters ΙΟΥ ΒΑΤΤ, found in a 7th c. church at the site. It is not clear, whether it is the church we discuss here.

Sapsaphas is usually identified with Ainon/Betharaba in Bethany beyond the Jordan, the place where John the Baptist preached to the Jews, recorded in the Mosaic Map of Madaba (see $E02524, no. 1). The site is known to the Pilgrim of Bordeaux (AD 333, $EXXXXX); Theodosius (who mentions a shrine of John the Baptist built by the emperor Anastasius, squarish and set on arcades; that church housed a marble column fitted with an iron cross, to mark the place of the baptism of Jesus, $EXXXXX). The grotto at Sapsaphas is also mentioned by John Moschus as the place of an apparition of John the Baptist ($EXXXXX). See: Manns 2011, 198.

description: Targeted nanoparticles offer potential to selectively deliver therapeutics to cells, however, their subcellular fate following endocytosis must be understood to properly design mechanisms of drug release. Here we describe a nanoparticle platform and associated cell-based assay to observe lysosome trafficking of targeted nanoparticles in live cells. The nanoparticle platform utilizes two fluorescent dyes loaded onto PEG-poly(glutamic acid) and PEG-poly(Lysine) block co-polymers that also comprise azide reactive handles on PEG termini to attach antibody-based targeting ligands. Fluorophores were selected to be pH-sensitive (pHrodo Red) or pH-insensitive (Alexafluor 488) to report when nanoparticles enter low pH lysosomes. Dye-labelled block co-polymers were further assembled into polyion complex micelle nanoparticles and crosslinked through amide bond formation to form stable nano-scaffolds for ligand attachment. Cell binding and lysosome trafficking was determined in live cells by fluorescence imaging in 96-well plates and quantification of red- and green-fluorescence signals over time. The platform and assay was validated for selection of optimal antibody-derived targeting ligands directed towards CD22 for nanoparticle delivery. Kinetic analysis of uptake and lysosome trafficking indicated differences between ligand types and the ligand with the highest lysosome trafficking efficiency translated into effective DNA delivery with nanoparticles bearing the optimal ligand.
E02693: A chapel reportedly dedicated to *Mary of Egypt (a repentant prostitute of Alexandria; S00903) at Sapsaphas/Wadi-Kharrar (= Ainon/Betharaba in Bethany, Palaestina I). Possibly 7th c.

description: A small ruined chapel was recorded by Félix-Marie Abel at Sapsaphas/Wadi-Kharrar, which he says was dedicated to Mary of Egypt. In 1932 Abel published a short description of the ruins and a photograph. He says that he saw there 'Byzantine capitals' and that the ruins were seriously damaged by the earthquake of 1927. In the vicinity of the ruins he saw a floor mosaic. The site was thought to have been the convent of Kopratha, mentioned by John Moschus ($EXXXXX).

The 'chapel of Mary of Egypt' was included in their lists of ancient churches of Jordan and Palestine by Sylvester Saller and Bellarmino Bagatti (1949), and by Anne Michel (2001). We must note that although a Life of Saint Mary of Egypt (BHG 1042), a repentant prostitute of Alexandria, was composed by Sophronios, the patriarch of Jerusalem (634-638), we cannot be sure that the dedication of the chapel is an ancient one even if the building itself comes from the late antique period. Abel did not specify the source of his knowledge. Possibly he was told by the contemporary locals that the saint was venerated there. The idea that Mary of Egypt was venerated at Sapsaphas/Wadi-Kharrar already in the 7th c. is, however, tempting, as, according to Sophronios, after her conversion in Jerusalem she was absolved at a monastery of *John the Baptist at the River Jordan. At the same time, Sapsaphas/Wadi-Kharrar is usually identified with Ainon/Betharaba in Bethany beyond the Jordan, the place where John the Baptist preached to the Jews, recorded on the Mosaic Map of Madaba (see $E02524, no. 1). Therefore, our site could be that mentioned in the Life of Mary; but there is no clear published evidence to this effect.

description: The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an important phenomenon in water splitting. Consequently, the development of an active, earth-abundant, and inexpensive HER catalyst is highly desired. MoS2 has drawn considerable interest as an HER catalyst because it is composed of non-precious metal and exhibits high catalytic activity in the nanosheet form. In this study, size-controlled MoS2 particles were synthesized by ball milling. The as-prepared samples exhibited significantly enhanced electrochemical and catalytic properties compared to those of pristine bulk MoS2. Furthermore, the HER activity improved further upon the introduction of graphene into the as-prepared ball-milled samples. In particular, the MoS2 sample ball-milled for 12 h mixed with graphene exhibited optimal performance, showing an overpotential (160 mV at 10 mA cm−2) that was ~ 335 mV lower than that of pristine bulk MoS2. The superior catalytic activity was ascribed to the exposed edge sites, sulfur vacancies, and 1T phase of MoS2, as well as the noteworthy fortifying effect of the electronically conductive flexible material, graphene. The results provide a promising strategy for its application as an efficient and stable HER catalyst. Li et al. reported MoS2-based electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. The superior catalytic activity was ascribed to exposed edge sites, sulfur vacancies, 1T phase, and the effect of graphene.

description: Predicting the mechanical properties of polymer materials using machine learning is essential for the design of next-generation of polymers. However, the strong relationship between the higher-order structure of polymers and their mechanical properties hinders the mechanical property predictions based on their primary structures. To incorporate information on higher-order structures into the prediction model, X-ray diffraction (XRD) can be used. This study proposes a strategy to generate appropriate descriptors from the XRD analysis of the injection-molded polypropylene samples, which were prepared under almost the same injection molding conditions. To this end, first, Bayesian spectral deconvolution is used to automatically create high-dimensional descriptors. Second, informative descriptors are selected to achieve highly accurate predictions by implementing the black-box optimization method using Ising machine. This approach was applied to custom-built polymer datasets containing data on homo- polypropylene and derived composite polymers with the addition of elastomers. Results show that reasonable accuracy of predictions for seven mechanical properties can be achieved using only XRD. This study proposes a strategy to generate appropriate descriptors, which realize highly accurate predictions of mechanical properties via machine learning from the XRD analysis of the molded polypropylene samples.
