Synthesis of Polyols for Expanded Rigid Polyurethanes by Microwave Liquefaction of Kraft Lignin With Bio‐Based Solvents

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study produced bio‐based polyols from lignin using microwave liquefaction with bio‐derived solvents. The process was optimized by adjusting solvent composition and catalyst type to obtain high yields and a suitable hydroxyl number. Foams made from lignin‐based polyols showed comparable properties to commercial products.

Psychopathic Traits in Adult versus Adolescent Males: Measurement Invariance across the PCL-R and PCL:YV

Behavioral Sciences
Both the Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R) and the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV), respectively, are established instruments for assessment of psychopathy and development of psychopathic propensity. To reliably compare scores from both

Use of Hexagonal Boron Nitride as Reinforcing Agent for Polyamide 11 and the Effect of Surface Treatment with Aminosilane

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
APTES treatment improves filler‐matrix adhesion and mechanical performance in PA11/h‐BN composites, while thermal conductivity gains are mainly governed by h‐BN loading and platelet orientation. Pa11/hBN composites are a sustainable solution for high‐performance electronic and thermal‐management applications. ABSTRACT In this work, the incorporation of

Technical Debt Management in Continuous Software Engineering: State of the Art and Research Agenda

Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Software companies have streamlined their engineering processes, and continuous development has been key to achieving flexible, market‐driven software solutions. Continuous software engineering (CSE) emerged as an approach to iteratively develop and maintain software, integrating business strategy, development, and operations aligned with ...

On‐Site Evaluation of Electropositive Filtration for Fouling Control: Case Study in a Water Reuse Desalination System

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
A side‐by‐side comparison was made of electropositive filtration with string‐wound filtration as prefilters to reverse osmosis in a water reuse system. The pilot system ran for 8 weeks using a side stream of a full‐scale water reuse facility in Arizona.

Dynamics of High‐Growth Young Firms and the Role of Venture Capitalists

International Economic Review, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 779-798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivated by the substantial growth and upfront investments of venture capital (VC)‐backed firms observed in administrative US Census data, this study develops a life‐cycle firm dynamics model. In the model, startups choose the source of financing from VC, angel investors, or banks, depending on their growth potential, and invest in innovation.

Faking Does Not Impair the Validity of Construct‐Focused Situational Judgment Tests: An Experimental Study

International Journal of Selection and Assessment, Volume 34, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This experimental study examined whether faking affected a construct‐focused situational judgment test (SJT) measuring self‐organization. Using a within‐subjects design, the SJT and a single‐statement self‐report were administered to employees of a federal agency who were students at a cooperative university affiliated with that agency (N ...
