EFFECT OF FIBERS SOURCE AND SOME PROCESSING VARIABLES ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARDS. [PDF]

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of producing of medium density fiberboard (MDF) panel from recycled wood fiber from old corrugated container (OCC) to reduce tree cutting and using of wood timber in this industry. Furthermore,

Association Between Self‐Reported Socio‐Economic Conditions, Air Pollution Sources and Eczema Symptoms Amongst Teenagers in Soshanguve, Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng Province, South Africa

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Self‐reported socio‐economic conditions and air pollution exposures, particularly environmental tobacco smoke and traffic‐related pollution, were associated with increased odds of eczema symptoms among adolescents in Soshanguve, South Africa, highlighting the need for targeted public health interventions.

The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 871-900, September 2026.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Producing Flexible Calcium Carbonate from Waste Paper and Their Use as Fillers for High Bulk Paper

BioResources, 2023
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was prepared from post-consumer old corrugated container (OCC) material, which was first disintegrated in water, cleaned to remove impurities, and then fibrillated by grinding.

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from

In Situ GWAS in Two Range‐Edge Populations of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Identify Genetic Factors of Adaptation to Climate Change

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In forest tree populations, the timing of budbreak (TBB) depends on several factors, both environmental and genetic. The genomic architecture underlying this trait is still not fully characterized. So far, common garden experiments have highlighted a few genomic regions with little heritability, while the whole spectrum of TBB variation ...

The affective nature of affective polarization: Evidence from physiological and self‐reported responses to US politicians

Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract What is the nature of affective partisan polarization? We answer this question in a preregistered laboratory study conducted in the United States measuring partisans' affective reactions to static images of US politicians with self‐reports and physiological indicators of valence and arousal.

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 251-258, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;
