Wooden nails, as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional metal connectors, offer promising potential for widespread adoption. This study analyzed the influence of various parameters on the shear performance of wooden nail connections through monotonic loading tests. Key factors examined included sheathing panel material (oriented strand board (OSB) and structural plywood (SP)), thickness (9.5 and 12 mm), as well as nail diameter (3.7 and 4.7 mm), spacing (50 and 100 mm), and cap configuration (with/without caps) on the mechanical behavior of the joints. Analyzing load-displacement curves and mechanical parameters (ultimate load, stiffness, ductility) reveals several key findings: nail cap design has minimal impact on shear performance compared to other factors; joints with SP sheathing panel material show significantly higher shear-bearing capacity than those with OSB. Stiffness and ductility vary across specimen groups, with group O9–4.7 (denoting OSB sheathing, 9.5 mm thickness, and 4.7 mm nail diameter) having the highest stiffness (1 332 N/mm) and group O12–4.7 (OSB sheathing, 12 mm thickness, and 4.7 mm nail diameter) showing superior ductility (3.47). Additionally, a comprehensive finite element (FE) simulation of full-size wood-frame shear walls using OpenSees software provides insights into the influence of sheathing panel form, material properties, and thickness on lateral resistance performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"10 3","pages":"Pages 410-424"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144780067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, effective waste management and resource utilization have garnered significant attention. Over the past decades, the results of numerous studies have shown that the use of ARs to produce organic fertilizers, biofuels, and new bio-based materials is an effective strategy for mitigating the global energy crisis and environmental degradation. Pretreatment technology has become a major focus of value-added transformation due to the heterogeneity and complexity of AR. However, most studies mainly concentrated on innovations in pretreatment technology and product quality, with few systematically addressing the comprehensive framework that encompasses composition analysis, pretreatment, transformation path, and energy assessment. This paper reviews the value-added conversion system of AR and analyzes its composition characteristics and pretreatment technologies. It provides a forward-looking perspective and an overview of technological advancement in diverse value-added pathways, such as physical utilization, thermochemical conversion, and biological fermentation. Additionally, it comprehensively evaluates energy consumption and environmental impacts across different conversion methods, addressing a significant gap in systematic evaluation in this field. This study identified key research trends by analyzing 8 641 high-quality articles using VOSviewer software based on Web of Science data from the past decade. The focus has progressively shifted from pretreatment technologies, including “steam explosion”, “microwave” and “enzymatic hydrolysis” to primary products, such as “bioethanol” and “biogas” toward evaluating higher echelon of economic and environmental benefit, including “circular economy”, “carbon emission” and “sustainability”. In addition, this review directly addresses current research challenges, such as technical limitations, cost-benefit analysis, and standardization of environmental impact assessment.

They have been widely used as model organisms for studying photosynthesis. In recent decades, photosynthetic organisms, including cyanobacteria, have been chosen as potential hosts for biofuel production due to their remarkable ability to convert carbon dioxide into biofuel without the input of an external energy source. Biofuel, an excellent substitute for fossil fuels, have received a lot of attention due to their eco-friendly properties. Cyanobacteria have emerged as one of the leading potential candidates for biofuel production due to their superior growth rate over other photosynthetic organisms employed in biofuel production and the presence of a significant amount of lipids (over 50% of dry cell weight) in the cells. Furthermore, they have higher photosynthetic efficiency, especially in CO₂-rich environments, making them more desirable. In addition, their inherent ability to uptake exogenous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in conjunction with homologous recombination makes them ideal candidates for transformation into photosynthetic cell factories to produce biofuels. The genetic and metabolic modifications have successfully enabled biofuel production in cyanobacteria; however, major challenges such as energy-intensive downstream processing, low yield, slow growth, and cytotoxicity are impeding its scale-up. This review discusses the production of various types of biofuels in cyanobacteria, as well as the current state of global biofuel production.

The temperature boundary for processing of WPCs is 200 °C, as higher temperatures induce PBMs’ degradation, yielding odor, uncontrolled darkening, porosity generation, and loss of WPCs’ mechanical performance. Going beyond the framework of composites’ science and taking a transdisciplinary look at processing degradation leads to very different conclusions. The food sector makes the best of PBMs’ degradation, yielding not only indispensable feed but often works of art. Drawing from its experience with the desire to go beyond the state-of-the-art, WPCs need a paradigm shift considering processing degradation. The presented paper proposes the pathway against the flow. Instead of avoiding processing degradation, deliberately inducing and employing it with all the benefits, pushing WPCs toward sustainability by maximizing resource efficiency. Exceeding the temperature limit will enable the use of engineering plastics, which outperform commodity types. Considering PBMs, it will not only unleash the true potential of phytochemicals but also take advantage of the compounds yet to be generated <em>in situ</em> during processing degradation, enriching WPCs with benefits known from the food sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 123-127"},"PeriodicalIF":20.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143890744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specially prepared bamboo slices demonstrated high tensile strength, exceptional flexibility for bending, and the ability to withstand repeated torsion. To address natural issues of color-producing group migration and mold susceptibility, the bamboo slices underwent simultaneous soaking and ultrasonic treatment. The resulting bamboo straws exhibited remarkable properties with compressive strength of 16.42–19.01 MPa and bending strength of 14.21–15.02 MPa, which matched or exceeded those of commercial paper straws and were significantly higher than those of polypropylene (PP) and polylactic acid (PLA) straws. When exposed to various beverages, bamboo straws retained their structural integrity, absorbed significantly less water than paper straws, and the wet strength was 4.36 times greater than that of paper straws. Moreover, bamboo drinking straws exhibited low production costs and garnered widespread consumer approval.
