Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Experimental Analysis of Structure and Deformation Mechanisms of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Slabs

, 2006
Durability and stability of polymeric foam products used in building application in most cases is associated with compressive strain. The mechanical characteristics of such products for the most part depend on the materials structure and density as well ...

Sustainable Thermoset Foams From Epoxidized Soybean Oil and Agricultural Waste as Substitutes for Their Petroleum‐Based Plastic Counterparts

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Naturally derived epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) thermoset foams are produced via humidity‐induced foaming from carrot residues, eliminating the need for external blowing agents. The resulting materials exhibit good and resilient mechanical performance, remarkable elastic recovery, thermal insulation, and seawater biodegradability, demonstrating how ...

Drivers and Outcomes of Engagement in Non‐Formal Special Interest Groups Among Japanese Emergency Physicians: An Activity Theory Analysis

AEM Education and Training, Volume 10, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Emergency medicine requires physicians to manage high uncertainty, time constraints, and diverse responsibilities. To sustain their careers, continuous professional development (CPD) and psychological well‐being are crucial. While participation in formal learning is often limited by time and location, autonomous “non‐formal” Special

The Interplay of Dispersion and Thermal Shock in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilms

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 6, Page 1661-1673, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathological bacterial biofilms formed on medical implants pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their resistance to antibiotics and the host immune response. Eradication of these biofilms by thermal shock has gained increasing attention as a means of eliminating these infections.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 2842-2861, June 2026.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.
