Forget, Shay; Kitchenham, Lindsey; Mason, Georgia, 2026, "Supplemental data for: Scars of the past or signs of the present? Investigating persistent stereotypic behaviours in laboratory mice", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/SOL0VF, Borealis, V1, UNF:6:li5fHPXujxrfV+kh8QXuag== [fileUNF]
In conventional laboratory cages, mice frequently develop stereotypic behaviours (SB): repetitive, invariant behaviours with no obvious goal or function. Although transferring mice to enriched environments can reduce SBs, these behaviours do not always decrease, indicating treatment resistance. The Motor Routines Hypothesis predicts that SBs become... |

Menossi, Matias; Gunasekaran, Manushri; Pesaranhajiabbas, Ehsan; Mohanty, Amar K.; Misra, Manjusri, 2026, "Toughened bio-based poly(butylene succinate)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) ternary bioplastics for high-performance sustainable packaging", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/EZTDLI, Borealis, V1, UNF:6:kmak4C/RfCqzGwN6h41rCw== [fileUNF]
A fully biodegradable ternary blend system comprising bio-based poly(butylene succinate) (BioPBS), poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) was developed to achieve a tailored stiffness-toughness balance. The influence of polymer selection, relative ratios, and hybrid compatibilizer addit... |

Poulimenos, Konstantinos; Mohanty, Amar K.; Wang, Tao; Rajcan, Istvan; Pauls, K. Peter; Van Acker, Rene; Thimmanagari, Mahendra; Misra, Manjusri, 2026, "Impact of peat moss– switchgrass biochar mixtures on soybean performance with and without fertilization under controlled greenhouse conditions", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/X3S8VO, Borealis, V1, UNF:6:Vb2C3Zswe8aYykHMdb/f3g== [fileUNF]
Soybean (Glycine max L.) family Fabaceae, is an important crop known for its high-quality protein and oil content. This study examined how adding switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) biochar to peat moss growing media in a greenhouse, affected soybean growth, yield, and seed quality. A one-year experiment was conducted with three biochar rates (0%, 5%... |

Menossi, Matias; Itabana, Blessing; Hoque, Monjurol; Misra, Manjusri; Mohanty, Amar K., 2026, "Sustainable composites based on poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) and wood biocarbon: Influence of extrusion methodologies on final properties for eco-friendly flexible packaging applications", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/DH41AT, Borealis, V1, UNF:6:djOe5P19v2mMGW07uvhxHw== [fileUNF]
This study explores the development of sustainable composites comprising poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) reinforced with wood biocarbon (BC) at 5 and 10 wt.% loadings. The influence of two different extrusion strategies on the structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of these bio-based composites was systematically evaluated. C... |

Nath, Debarshi; Menossi, Matias; Pesaranhajiabbas, Ehsan; Mohanty, Amar K.; Misra, Manjusri, 2026, "Development of talc-filled PBAT/PLA and PBSA/PBAT binary blend films: Effects of multilayer architecture and uniaxial orientation on performance", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/MCDSXY, Borealis, V1, UNF:6:Z57W2a5fUVUq+TYp4bFJnQ== [fileUNF]
This study developed PBAT-based biodegradable blend films using PLA or PBSA in mono- and tri-layer configurations with talc reinforcement, processed via blown film extrusion and further enhanced through uniaxial stretching. The films were systematically evaluated for mechanical, barrier, optical, and structural performance to benchmark against comm... |

Guardado Servellon, Fernando; Spence, Kelsey; Renaud, David; DeVries, Trevor; Brunt, Michael; Couto Serrenho, Rita, 2026, "Supplemental Data: Factors influencing producers’ implementation of internal teat sealant use and selective dry cow therapy on automated milking systems farms in Ontario - a focus group study", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/B4EQ14, Borealis, V1, UNF:6:R4R7ZZgFuFH8Wq3m/nEUYQ== [fileUNF]
We recruited 21 Ontario AMS producers (16 using and 5 not using ITS) through veterinary clinics and AMS dealers and conducted four focus groups (median group size: 5 producers, ranging from 4 to 6) between December 2024 and January 2025. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Four main themes were gen... |
