Twenty-four market tissue samples (representing approximately 80% of the current market offering) were sourced and analyzed along with their nationwide price information. Pulp composition, drying technologies, market share, sustainability advertising, and tissue properties were evaluated. Tissue properties, including softness, ball burst strength, water absorbency, density, tensile strength, and tensile modulus were measured. Among all the drying technologies, creped through-air dry (CTAD) and creped through-air dry belt (CTADB) seemed to improve tissue softness most. The UCTAD maximized tissue bulk by drying the tissue web solely using a through-air (TAD) cylinder. Tissue samples with freeness between 575 to 650 mL seemed to have their properties improved more significantly through advanced drying technologies. It was found that the retail prices of these bath tissues were directly related to softness, bulkiness, water absorbency, and basis weight. A mathematical model was conducted to predict the retail price of bath tissue (based on product performance and attributes). This paper also identified the effect of “sustainability” on the retail price.}, number={4}, journal={BIORESOURCES}, author={Wang, Yuhan and Zambrano, Franklin and Venditti, Richard and Dasmohapatra, Sudipta and De Assis, Tiago and Reisinger, Lee and Pawlak, Joel and Gonzalez, Ronalds}, year={2019}, month={Nov}, pages={9410–9428} } @article{wang_de assis_zambrano_pal_venditti_dasmohapatra_pawlak_gonzalez_2018, title={Relationship between human perception of softness and instrument measurements}, volume={14}, ISSN={1930-2126 1930-2126}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.15376/biores.14.1.780-795}, DOI={10.15376/biores.14.1.780-795}, abstractNote={Softness, as a subjective perception, is difficult to define and quantify. For decades, panel tests have been used to judge differences in the softness of hygiene tissue samples. Panel tests can be a time-consuming and expensive process. A number of protocols have been developed to quantify the physical properties of tissues associated with softness. The Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA) by Emtec has gained popularity in characterizing the physical properties of tissues associated with softness. The instrument was designed with softness in mind and attempts to simulate the touch of the human hand. There is currently no comprehensive study that compares the results from a TSA and human panel. In this work, panel tests were used to validate the performance of the TSA with bath tissue. It was determined that one component of the TSA measurements (TS7) linearly correlated with the panel results. Among all of the algorithms available for use with the TSA, the TP2 algorithm most accurately predicted the panel scores. The TSA performed better in predicting the softness of the samples that were dried with a conventional wet press or creped-through air-dryer.}, number={1}, journal={BioResources}, publisher={BioResources}, author={Wang, Yuhan and de Assis, Tiago and Zambrano, Franklin and Pal, Lokendra and Venditti, Richard and Dasmohapatra, Sudipta and Pawlak, Joel and Gonzalez, Ronalds}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={780–795} } @article{radics_dasmohapatra_kelley_2016, title={Public perception of bioenergy in North Carolina and Tennessee}, volume={6}, ISSN={["2192-0567"]}, DOI={10.1186/s13705-016-0081-0}, abstractNote={The goal of the study is to examine the general public’s understanding and perceptions of bioenergy and biofuels in North Carolina (NC) and Tennessee (TN). The study focuses on the public concerns, support and risk evaluations of alternative bioenergy feedstocks and biofuels, and includes an assessment of the economic, environmental, social, and policy impacts of bioenergy production and use. A sample of consumers in NC and TN were surveyed in the fall of 2013 and spring of 2014 for their perceptions about bioenergy and specifically, biofuels for transportation. Five hundred eighty-six consumers completed the questionnaire electronically (376 in NC and 210 in TN). Respondents reported that the price and vehicle compatibility with biomass-based transportation fuels were the most important factors in their choice of biofuels over gasoline at a pump. Results show that the acceptance of bioenergy depends on the extent of knowledge and available information to consumers about the energy source. A principal component analysis (PCA) indicated seven distinct dimensions of consumer’s perception about bioenergy. The key dimensions are the following: how bioenergy benefits the society, risks of bioenergy use, government support for bioenergy, increase in food cost, conditional use of trees, support for low-cost biofuel alternative to current energy, and market attributes of bioenergy purchase. The findings from this study reflect the need for communicating the benefits and risks from the use of bioenergy to the general public through trustworthy channels of communication and targeted policy, market, and institutional support.}, journal={ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIETY}, author={Radics, Robert I. and Dasmohapatra, Sudipta and Kelley, Stephen S.}, year={2016}, month={Jun} } @article{radics_dasmohapatra_kelley_2016, title={Use of linear programming to -optimize the social, −environmental, and economic impacts of using woody feedstocks for pellet and -torrefied pellet production}, volume={10}, ISSN={1932-104X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/bbb.1658}, DOI={10.1002/bbb.1658}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Radics, Robert I. and Dasmohapatra, Sudipta and Kelley, Stephen S.}, year={2016}, month={May}, pages={446–461} } @article{radics_dasmohapatra_kelley_2015, title={Systematic review of bioenergy perception studies}, volume={10}, DOI={10.15376/biores.10.4.radics}, abstractNote={This paper presents the results of a structured review of published articles that discuss stakeholders’ perceptions of bioenergy, including both biofuels and biopower. An electronic search process using numerous key terms identified 44 peer-reviewed publications from 2000 to 2013 that focused on stakeholders’ perceptions, understanding, and acceptance of bioenergy. These findings indicate that in the last decade the research community has been more active in publications focused on the societal and public perceptions of the bioenergy industry compared to prior years. Among the reviewed studies, most (84%) are based in the US and Europe, and only a few recent studies have focused on stakeholders in Asia and other parts of the world. This review revealed no standardized methods for evaluation of stakeholder perception, for data collection, or statistical analysis of the data. Among stakeholder groups, the majority of studies focused on the general public or the consumer’s opinion about bioenergy (79% of studies). Overall findings show that the stakeholder groups show low to moderate support for the bioenergy industry. As anticipated, the stakeholder groups had varied views about the opportunities and risks associated with bioenergy industry, and these views varied based on their experiences.}, number={4}, journal={BioResources}, author={Radics, R. and Dasmohapatra, S. and Kelley, Stephen}, year={2015}, pages={8770–8794} } @article{strayhorn_dasmohapatra_tilotta_mitchell_2012, title={Effectiveness of educational tools for hurricane resilience in homes}, volume={21}, ISSN={["0965-3562"]}, DOI={10.1108/09653561211256143}, abstractNote={PurposeIn the disaster mitigation community, one of the most important tasks is that of information transfer prior to, and following natural disasters.
