Effect of Over‐Mercerization on the Interfacial Bonding and Mechanical Integrity of Bamboo Fiber/Epoxy Composites

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 4, October 2026.
The chemical extraction stages of bamboo fiber, composite fabrication via hand lay‐up, analytical characterization protocols, and key mechanical and physical performance highlights under varying mercerization regimes. ABSTRACT Owing to its exceptional mechanical performance, biodegradability, and abundant availability, bamboo fiber has emerged as a ...

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1231-1251, October 2026.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1402-1436, October 2026.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Feeding Young Children in Food Insecure Environments: A Photovoice Study in Kenya's Drylands

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Child wasting remains a global public health challenge, with persistently high levels in dryland regions such as Turkana and Samburu Counties in Kenya. Food scarcity is linked to spikes in wasting prevalence in these counties, but little is known about women's lived experiences of food insecurity and how they perceive its relationship to child

Study of the process of stems flattening during flax harvesting

Tractors and Agricultural Machinery
BACKGROUND: When preparing flax straw using the dew retting method, uniformity of the raw material’s technological parameters along the length of the stems is not ensured, which reduces the yield and quality of the fiber. The excessive spread of values is due to differences in the mechanical properties of the stems along the length of freshly pulled ...

FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF DIVIDERS IN HARVESTING LODGED FLAX

Наукові нотатки
Lodged flax remains one of the most critical challenges in mechanized harvesting due to stem interlocking, ground-level deformation, and the high elasticity of flax stems. While the functional role of crop dividers in fiber flax pulling systems is well described in classical literature, little attention has been paid to their applicability in ...

Improvement of the technological process of fiber flax pulling at swath harvesting

Tractors and Agricultural Machinery
BACKGROUND: The most labor- and cost-intensive process in flax production is harvesting, which, depending on the technology used, takes 65–80% of labor costs, 55–75% of monetary costs and up to 40% of energy costs. Swath harvesting includes fiber flax pulling with a flax puller and simultaneous fiber flax retting in bands on the field.
