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...

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...

Creator:: Kang, Sung-Mo
Abstract:: Supercritical fluid (SCF) impregnation is a promising preservative treatment method, however, the development of SCF processes has been slowed by a limited understanding of the process. Developing a better understanding of the effects of various process parameters on treatment results would allow for a more rational development of SCF impregnation....

Creator:: Schneider, Philip F.
Abstract:: Two approaches to improving wood treatability include the modification of pressure schedules during conventional liquid treatments and the use of supercritical fluids (SCFs). In both of these techniques, pressure differences are important for transporting materials into wood. The level of pressure and its change during SCF treatments are also important...

Creator:: Chen, Rui, 1963-
Abstract:: Studies of physiological effects of fungicides on fungi are critical for understanding modes of action and mechanism of resistance; however, studies are difficult to perform on filamentous fungi because of the inability to produce homogeneous a biological system using a mass of mycelium. Moreover, the presence of rigid cell wall...
