The objective of this research is to use a three-dimensional (3D) analysis
method to include 'system effects' directly in the design of light-frame roof truss
assemblies. The goal of this study is to develop an improved and practical method to
determine the structural performance of 3D roof truss assemblies used...

There is no doubt that adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood bondline joint performance and durability; yet, to date there is no direct experimental evidence linking penetration depth with bond performance. This is, in part, because adhesive penetration is commonly assessed with various 2D microscopy techniques that are...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is an important component of heart-healthy
whole grain diets because it contains β-glucan. All current US barley
varieties with high β-glucan are spring habit and have waxy starch. Winter
varieties have agronomic advantages but require low-temperature tolerance
(LTT). Vernalization sensitivity (VS) is associated with higher
levels of...
