Changing straw management practices in California rice fields: A recent and historical analysis of the Sacramento Valley

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Agricultural practices are constantly evolving due to changes in regulation, climate, and technology. Regulations in California resulted in phasing out rice (Oryza sativa L.) straw burning in the 1990s, leading to a range of alternative practices to manage the straw, which impact agronomic practices, air quality, ecosystem services, and ...

Determination of Static and Dynamic Coefficients of Friction on Various Surfaces for Selected Haricot Bean Varieties

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT When analyzing and designing equipment for postharvest handling, food processing, and storage, it is crucial to understand the coefficient of friction of legume crops on different structural surfaces. The article examines the effects of various treatments on the static friction coefficient and dynamic friction coefficient of Phaseolus vulgaris

Establishing Baseline Information for the Risk of Flatheaded Borer Attack in Specialty Tree Crops Using Trapping and On‐Farm Surveys

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1088-1101, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

High‐Shear Mixing of Softwood Kraft Lignin in Aqueous Sodium Lignosulfonate: Stable Suspensions, Efficient Emulsification and Controlled Curing of Epoxy Adhesives

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Blending sodium lignosulfonate with softwood kraft lignin generates stable, high‐consistency aqueous suspensions. The lignosulfonate efficiently coats and disperses the kraft lignin particles, producing a thick, extrudable paste. This fully bio‐based, solvent‐free approach demonstrates great potential as a sustainable wood adhesive, paving the way for ...

Comparison of Carbonaceous Compounds Emission from the Co-Combustion of Coal and Waste in Boilers Used in Residential Heating in Poland, Central Europe

Energies, 2021
In this study, the effect of the addition of waste on the emissions from coal co-combustion was investigated. Coal was co-combusted with different additions of medium-density fiberboard and polyethylene terephthalate plastic (10 and 50%), in a low-power ...

Textured Piezoelectric Ceramics Printed With Baffled Nozzles

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 8, August 2026.
To better align platelet particles in additively manufactured textured ceramics, baffled nozzles were simulated and tested. The simulation included a novel CFD heuristic that considers the entire print path. Printed parts were characterized via microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and electromechanically and results were compared to the simulation, finding ...
