title: Adding value to hardwoods – thin hardwood cross-laminated timber (HCLT)

description: Maximizing the value of underutilized hardwood species is vital for sustainable forestry and economic development in North America’s hardwood regions. This reseach studied the feasibility and performance of thin hardwood cross-laminated timber (HCLT) panels made from yellow-poplar (YP) and black walnut (BW). Third-point bending tests revealed that thin HCLT panels outperformed traditional panel products and were comparable to structural timber products. YP HCLT with 19 mm lamellae achieved the highest average modulus of rupture (MOR) of 77 MPa, while BW with lamellae of 13 mm had the best individual performance as 97 MPa. The use of thin HCLT panels was showcased by an extendable coffee table, and potential applications were proposed as biophilic and aesthetic wall-filling alternative to gypsum boards. These findings highlight thin HCLT as a sustainable, high-performance solution for U.S. hardwoods, with opportunities for future development in interior applications.

title: Public perception of fire safety and risk of timber buildings

description: As a dominant representative of biobased construction materials, an increased use of timber bears potential to contribute to climate change mitigation. This work investigated public attitudes towards timber as a building material, particularly focussing on the perception of fire safety properties and associated risks. In past studies timber’s susceptibility to fire was often acknowledged by stakeholders and thus interpreted as a potential market barrier. An international online survey (<i>n</i> = 323) was carried out and complemented with data from 28 semi-structured interviews in Denmark and Sweden. The study reports empirical evidence that timber buildings are attributed a higher risk than their non-combustible counterparts. The public’s underlying assumptions on timber’s fire behaviour in buildings seem greatly varied and interview data suggest the importance of demonstrating building safety on a system level. Interviewees from the two Nordic countries expressed strong societal trust towards professionals and authorities to competently address any risks during building design and approval processes, thus feeling safe towards timber buildings despite recognising timber’s combustibility. This refutes the general idea of timber’s perceived combustibility as a market barrier. Lastly, the importance of context (e.g. cultural) for risk appraisal is acknowledged.

title: Links between the quality of Douglas fir sawn timber and selected tree and site characteristics in Germany

description: The wood quality of Douglas fir sawn timber from Central Europe was examined to facilitate feedback on the quality of mechanical properties of sawn timber achieved by different silvicultural strategies. The visual criteria of the sawn timber have been evaluated and analyzed for their impact in the visual grading of timber to verify the efficiency of the applied standards for Douglas fir sawn timber. Four-point bending tests have been conducted to determine the mechanical properties and categorise the study material into strength classes. An ordinal analysis has indicated, that the negative effect of compression wood on the mechanical performance of boards has been overemphasised and the yield of Douglas fir timber could benefit from specially defined criteria thresholds. Among characteristics at the tree and stand level, knowledge on crown radius, crown base height, tree height and diameter, with reference to the stand age, have proven to be promising predictors for the expected quality yield of sawn timber. A significantly lower quality was detected within sample material from short rotation periods.

title: Geochemical assessment of the suitability of converting a coal-fired power plant reservoir to a drinking-water reservoir

description: Blake JM, Ferguson CL, Brown JE, Mixon R. Geochemical assessment of the suitability of converting a coal-fired power plant reservoir to a drinking-water reservoir. Lake Reserv Manage. 41:41–58. There is an increasing need for additional water storage in the United States, especially in arid regions. Alternatives like decommissioned power plant raw-water reservoirs would be cheaper to use than creating new reservoirs; however, the biogeochemical pollution risk of these reservoirs is not well understood. The San Juan Generating Station power plant and the associated reservoir will be used as a sediment-settling basin to store drinking water. To evaluate whether the reservoir is appropriate for this use, inorganic and organic constituents of concern were measured in reservoir sediment cores, pore water, and reservoir water in 2020. Forty-six percent of sediment arsenic concentrations measured in core subsamples (8 to 12 mg/kg) were slightly above the New Mexico residential cancer threshold for soil of 7.07 mg/kg. One sediment sample contained elevated total barium concentrations (6020 mg/kg). The organic compounds analyzed were either below detection limits or below regulatory thresholds. Reservoir water had one sample with arsenic greater than the drinking water standard (10 µg/L). Overall, the reservoir sediment inorganic and organic analyte concentrations are within acceptable ranges. The few samples that have elevated concentrations are not of a sufficient magnitude that dilution and/or treatment processes would preclude the use of the reservoir for water storage. Our findings show potential for use of former coal power station raw-water reservoirs as drinking-water reservoirs after plant closure.

title: Road injuries to pedestrians and cyclists in mainland China: a scoping review of national policies from 2003 to 2023

description: Walking and cycling play crucial roles in reducing obesity and promoting health. However, pedestrians and cyclists are vulnerable road users, highlighting the need to implement policies to protect them. This study aimed to provide a systematic description of mainland China’s national policies regarding pedestrian and cyclist road injuries over the past two decades, while identifying potential gaps according to measures proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to enhance pedestrian and cyclist road safety. A total of 28649 policies were examined, and eventually, 106 policies issued by 44 organizations were included, among which 23 were jointly developed. The results show an overall upward trend in policy quantity and a stable trend in policy intensity. Most of the WHO interventions had corresponding policy support in China, except for promoting the ‘walking school bus’ program and strengthening bicycle helmet-wearing. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for future policy development.

title: Ten questions concerning particle exposure in open electrosurgery and its control strategies

description: The increasing use of high-frequency electrosurgical pencils in open surgeries has heightened concerns about the adverse implications of electrosurgical smoke (ES) on perioperative personnel. Since 2015, there has been an increasing amount of research on electrosurgical smoke particles annually. Despite data discrepancies, nanoparticles (core particle size &lt;200 nm) generally dominate in number distributions. Particulate matter (PM) concentration is closely related to the type of target tissue. Most studies show that ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations near the main surgeon’s breathing zone inversely correlate with operating room air changes and positively correlate with the power of the electrosurgical pencil. Local smoke evacuation devices with negative ions, specialized filters and N95 respirators are more effective in protecting perioperative staff health, particularly against UFPs. The objective is to summarize particle exposure knowledge in open electrosurgery and establish a research agenda to protect medical personnel from ES exposure. Answers to 10 key questions on particle exposure in open electrosurgery are provided.Particles with mode diameter around 100 nm dominate in open electrosurgeries.PM concentration relates to tissue type, OR air changes and ESU power.Local smoke evacuation devices help protect perioperative staff health.The goal is to summarize ES particle exposure knowledge to protect medical staff.

title: “He is the riskiest candidate standing on this stage”: social, verbal, and nonverbal aggression in the 2020 Democratic primary debates

description: U.S. presidential debates remain among the most watched political media despite their increasing levels of incivility. The 2020 Democratic primary debates were distinct as a record number of candidates sought to unseat a controversial Republican incumbent and fought against perceived party outsiders. This study content analyzes how Democratic candidates engaged in social aggression, a form of incivility attacking self-esteem and reputation with the goal to get ahead. Specifically, I examine how social, verbal, and nonverbal aggression were used by frontrunners and trailing candidates, whether populist candidates perpetrated aggression differently from non-populists, and differences by gender. Results revealed no significant differences in perpetrated aggression between the frontrunner and trailing candidates, nor between populists and non-populists. However, female candidates engaged in proportionally more social aggression than male candidates, who engaged in proportionally more verbal aggression than female candidates.
