Study on the tensile strength of ready-to-assemble and fixed corner joints on medium density fiberboard [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Wood and Paper Industries, 2012
In this research measurement and comparison of tensile strength of disassemble and fixed joints made with members out of MDF were investigated. Experimental joints were made with connectors, such as hardware pieces, elite, dowel, screws and biscuits ...

Inverse effects of soil moisture and litter quality on litter decomposition along a gradient from hyper‐arid to temperate climate

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose fastest in each site, and fastest on the wet end of the gradient (H3).

Reducing bias in shorebird nest survival rates across a large Arctic landscape

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 25-41, January 2026.
Reproductive success is a key demographic parameter that can have profound impacts on a species' population trend. Indeed, poor reproductive success has been suggested as a contributing factor to the declines observed in many species of birds, including Arctic‐breeding shorebirds.

NUMERICAL MODELING AND FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENTS OF GLUED WOODEN STRUCTURES JOINT DESTRUCTION ON CARBON-FIBER DOWEL PINS

International Journal for Computational Civil and Structural Engineering, 2020
This paper presents the results of numerical modeling and full-scale experiments of the failure process of a glued laminated timber beam with rigid joint in the middle. All the connecting parts are made of carbon fiber.

Legged Locomotion in Lattices: Centipede Traversal of Obstacle‐Rich Environments

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1555, Issue 1, January 2026.
We investigated how centipedes adapted their limb stepping and body bending patterns in a dense array of rigid obstacles (vertical posts). Centipedes maintained a rapid speed in the obstacle array by adapting their gaits in several ways, including adducing their limbs along their bodies to mitigate collisions, twisting their bodies into more favorable ...

Does a linear position transducer placed on a stick and belt provide sufficient validity and reliability of countermovement jump performance outcomes?

Biology of Sport, 2021
Manufacturers recommend that linear position transducers (LPTs) should be placed on the side of a barbell (or wooden dowel) to measure countermovement jump (CMJ) height, but the validity and reliability of this placement have not been compared to other ...

Testing biodegradable interventions to disrupt plant–animal feedbacks and promote seagrass establishment

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Biogeochemical and physical feedbacks are well known to prevent ecosystem recovery even after initial disturbance factors are mitigated. However, multi‐trophic interactions that may maintain disturbed areas have received less attention, despite their potential importance in mediating restoration success. In this study, we surveyed stingray feeding pits

Methane Transport Pathways and Oxidation in a Minnesota Bog

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Despite the widely recognized importance of wetland CH4 emissions as a climate change feedback, simultaneous measurements of CH4 transport pathways and oxidation in a wetland are rare. Thus, these critical components of many CH4 models are poorly parameterized because of the lack of appropriate data.

Assessing the in Planta Efficacy of Oxathiapiprolin as a Potential Treatment for Kauri Dieback Disease

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
We tested the oomycide oxathiapiprolin as a protective and curative agent against kauri dieback disease (caused by Phytophthora agathidicida) in Agathis australis seedlings. Protective application of oxathiapiprolin (10 or 50 mg per seedling) effectively prevented disease, but it did not cure existing infections.
