Early establishment increases yield and fiber quality of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) produced in the Mid‐Atlantic

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Planting dates (PDs) are well established for a wide range of agronomic crops to maximize yield and quality, but this guidance is lacking for industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) produced for fiber, especially in the Mid‐Atlantic region.

Refining Hemp Fibers for Papermaking

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2005
Abstract Hemp, an annual plant that grows well in the temperate climate, is an alternative fiber source. While there are data on its disk refining, there is little available about its behavior in other pulping equipment. This paper focuses on a series of tests conducted with the Szego Mill™ SM 440 equipped with four plastic rollers to determine its ...

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

“Effects of High‐Intensity Ultrasound on the Structural, Technofunctional, and Allergenic Properties of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Protein Isolates: A Review”

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing global demand for sustainable, nutritionally balanced protein sources has intensified interest in plant‐derived proteins, particularly those derived from oilseeds such as groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). However, although groundnut protein isolates (GPIs) have high nutritional quality, they exhibit limitations in technofunctional ...
