Mechanical Properties and Quantitative Analytical Modelling of Micro/Nanocellulose Co‐Modified Insulating Papers With Different Aspect Ratios

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The incorporation of nanocellulose‐doped insulating paper into the material composition of a given structure has been demonstrated to enhance the material’s mechanical properties and retard the development of cracks. However, the effects of different length‐to‐diameter ratios of nanocellulose are different.

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.

Covalently Immobilized Lignin–Xanthene Conjugates for Persistent Surface Photochemistry and Self‐Sterilizing Interfaces Under Ambient Visible Light

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Bio‐derived lignin–Eosin Y macromolecular networks are developed as visible‐light‐responsive self‐sterilizing coatings that generate reactive oxygen species without leaching. The spray‐coated photopolymerized surfaces exhibit durable antibacterial and antiviral activity under ambient light for extended periods, demonstrating a scalable and sustainable ...

Tree regeneration following natural disturbance and harvesting indicates challenges maintaining forest composition and tree species diversity in northern USA forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our work establishes that previously observed challenges in advance regeneration contribute to poor recovery following harvests and natural disturbances in northern USA forests. Shifts towards lower severity harvesting in the region may be exacerbating post‐disturbance regeneration challenges, ultimately leading to low tree species richness and novel ...

Methods for Determining the Number of Mold Fungi in the Air—Current Trends

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
A unified methodological framework combining culture‐based, molecular, and data‐driven approaches to advance reliable measurement and interpretation of indoor fungal bioaerosols. ABSTRACT Indoor fungal contamination poses significant health concerns due to the diversity and dynamic behaviour of airborne spores.

Uit ander hout gesneden: Veranderend houtgebruik in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw

Bulletin KNOB, 2015
Long before the large-scale import of Scandinavian softwoods in the seventeenth century, deal floorboards and softwood rafters had already made their appearance before1500 and continued to appear sporadically throughout the sixteenth century, especially ...
