Desperate Softwood Lumber Companies?: The Canada–U.S. Softwood Lumber Dispute and NAFTA Chapter 11

Alberta Law Review, 2007
The international trade law area is an arena where international tribunals are increasingly being used for the settlement of disputes. The Canada–U.S. softwood lumber dispute is a key example of how trade disputes have been made even more convoluted and intractable by the availability of multiple international and domestic fora for dispute settlement ...

Population Growth and Land Use Dynamics along Urban–Rural Gradient [PDF]

In this study we apply a spatial conditional logit model to determine factors influencing land cover change in three contiguous counties in West Georgia between 1992 and 2001 using point (pixel) based observations of land characteristics.

Structural Colors from Ultrathin Lignin Films

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 5, 2 February 2026.
Thickness‐dependent structural colors in ultrathin lignin films generate a full visible palette, tuned simply by solution concentration and spin speed. Abstract Structural colors offer a sustainable alternative to toxic pigments and dyes, yet their realization from lignin, the most abundant aromatic biopolymer, has remained elusive.

Depolymerisation of γ‐Valerolactone Organosolv Lignins with Unsupported Molybdenum‐Based Catalysts

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 3, February 2026.
Lignins from γ‐valerolactone organosolv fractionation were depolymerised in ethanol using unsupported molybdenum catalysts. Over 90% yields of low‐molecular‐weight lignin oil were obtained with minimal char formation, yields of the aromatic monomers being 7–16 wt%.

Pickering or Non‐Pickering Dilemma: A Complicated System of Anionic Lignin‐Incorporated Oil‐Water Emulsions

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 3, February 2026.
Sulfoethylated and carboxyethylated lignin derivatives were fabricated, and their impacts on stabilizing soybean oil–water were analyzed in Pickering and non‐Pickering systems. It was noticed that the lignin derivatives behaved very differently, implying that the modification routes played an important role in their performance.

Sandblasting Wood as a Technique of Simulated Weathering

Applied Sciences
While most efforts are aimed at preventing the surface roughening and colour change of wood due to weathering, some customers, mainly for decorative reasons, want wooden objects and elements to give the impression that they have been weathered for a long

Methane Emissions From Dairy Goats Can Be Measured Using Cattle Respiration Chambers

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Reducing methane emissions from dairy goat production is essential for meeting sustainability targets and consumer expectations. Accurate quantification of enteric methane per unit of feed intake is a prerequisite for developing emission inventories and mitigation strategies.

Toward a Green Polymerization of Lignin‐Derived Monomers in Ethyl Lactate Solution or Aqueous Emulsion

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.
Starting from lignin‐derived compounds (LDCs), a library of radically polymerizable monomers are synthesized. Biobased polymers are then prepared by free radical polymerization using industrially relevant processes: in solution (ethyl lactate) and in emulsion (water). Polymers with high thermal resistance and tunable Tgs are obtained, along with stable
