Creator:: Rui, Chen and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: Hyphal fragments and protoplasts of two wood-degrading fungi, Postia placenta and Trametes versicolor, were used to examine the effects of two fungicides, copper sulfate and azaconazole, on fungal health (as measured by oxygen consumption, glucose utilization, potassium levels, cell regeneration, and copper uptake). Although both cell systems responded to the...

Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The effect of various wood characteristics on decomposition of metham sodium to methylisothiocyanate in sixteen North American and Southeast Asian hardwoods and softwoods was investigated. While marked differences were noted in the degree of decomposition among some species, the relationship between decomposition and lignin content, extractive levels, wood pH, or...

Creator:: Jeihooni, Asghar, Krahmer, Robert L., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The effect of pretreatment of Douglas-fir flakes with CCA-C, borate, and azaconazole on properties of flakeboard was studied. Flakes had higher retention levels of CCA-C and borate in their ends than in their centers. The distribution of chemicals was uniform in panels, which indicates that the chemicals did not migrate...

Creator:: Prasad, T. R. Narayana, Humphrey, Philip E., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: Preservative treatment of whole, wood-based composite products (mainly panels) has disadvantages; problems largely stem from swelling, strength loss, and incomplete or inappropriate penetration during treatment, and distortion during redrying. Pretreatment of comminuted wood prior to mat lay-up is one alternative, though the addition of chemicals may affect bonding during subsequent...
