Biology of the carpenter ants Camponotus vicinus (Mayr) and Camponotus modoc (Wheeler) in western Oregon

Creator:: Mankowski, Mark E.
Abstract:: Pest control operators in Oregon were surveyed to examine the occurrence of carpenter ants and other wood destroying organisms in structures. Carpenter ants frequently occurred in the coast and Willamette valley regions of the state and were associated with wetter, mesic habitats. To examine the effects of substrate and moisture...

The effects of tree position and silvicultural practices on treatability of Douglas-fir lumber

Creator:: Hong, Seungdo
Abstract:: In spite of the lack of accurate information about the treatability of western wood species with waterborne wood preservatives, consumption of these products continues to increase. Western wood species, notably Douglas-fir, are notoriously difficult to treat with waterborne systems, yet there is relatively little data on the effects of wood...

Vapor copper : a potential wood preservative

Creator:: He, Wenlong
Abstract:: This study seeks to determine the feasibility of utilizing one vaporizable copper compound - bis-[1- (dimethylamino)-2-propanolato] copper(II) (Cu(DMAP)₂ as a potential wood preservative. The synthesis of Cu(DMAP)₂ was conducted in accordance with a method developed by Buhro and Dingman, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. The yields of Cu(DMAP)₂ synthesis were...

Characterization of Fungal Communities in Selected Wood Species by Field Exposure Tests

Creator:: Torres-Andrade, Paola A.
Abstract:: Fungi are the primary biological agents of wood deterioration and cause major economic losses of wood products globally. Wood in outdoor applications tends to remain wet for extended time periods, making it susceptible to fungal attack. Understanding the factors involved in fungal colonization of wood is important for developing improved...

Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

Creator:: Garcia, Carlos Manalo
Abstract:: The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...

The effects of supercritical CO₂ on the bending properties and treatment defects of four refractory wood species

Creator:: Anderson, Matthew E.
Abstract:: It is difficult to treat the heartwood of many wood species with liquid preservatives using conventional liquid processes. Supercritical fluids (SCF) used as carriers of preservatives to impregnate refractory wood species may be an attractive alternative to conventional liquid carriers. While SCF impregnation has many potential advantages, some wood species...

Utilization of ground peanut husk as an alternative fiber material for particleboard

Creator:: Newton, Jacob A.
Abstract:: This research examined the potential for using peanut husk as a fiber alternative to wood in the production of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) particleboard. MF resin was used to produce panels with one, three, six, nine or 12 percent resin contents. Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Internal Bond (IB)...

Modeling changes in flexural properties of softwood beams during fungal decomposition

Creator:: Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
Abstract:: Moisture intrusion in residential structures can lead to substantial fungal decay and this damage costs billions in repair/replacement costs. The extent of damage and the rate at which it occurs are primarily dependent on the wood moisture content and temperature in the structure. Determining the risk of decay for various...

Fungal colonization of Douglas-fir sapwood

Creator:: Kang, Sung-Mo
Abstract:: The fungi that cause mold and stain of freshly sawn lumber result in millions of dollars in losses to the forest products industry. Stain and mold are typically prevented by either kiln drying or by application of a topical fungicide. While these treatments are effective, kiln drying is costly and...
