Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

When governments act as strategists: Geopolitical turmoil and global strategy theory
Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary The resurgence of geopolitical rivalry is challenging core assumptions of global strategy theory. Long‐standing views that economic interdependence is inherently beneficial, governments act as rule setters, multinational enterprises operate autonomously, and market and political strategy are separate no longer capture today's ...

Effect of Physical Properties of Softwoods on Embedment Strength Performance of Self-tapping Screws
BioResources, 2023 The embedment strength performance of the self-tapping screw (STS) connector, used as a cross-laminated timber fastener, was evaluated considering tree species’ density and load direction as parameters.

Low‐Hysteresis Cellulose‐Based Hydrogels for Strain Detecting
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Low‐hysteresis hydrogel with high cellulose content is prepared. The modified cellulose is prepared through a sequential periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction process. The hydrogel can be used as a strain sensor with a gauge factor of 1.1 in the 0%–300% sensing range.

Oikos, EarlyView.Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Forests play a pivotal role in sustainability transitions. This article explores how people's relationships with forests, particularly how they care for or take care of them, shape and reflect broader tendencies and tensions in forest utilization and governance.
