The importance of wood bonding increased in the last decades due to the
increased usage of wood composites whose performance depends to a large extent on
the adhesive penetration and subsequent bonding of the adherends. The presented
research used XMT (x-ray microtomography) to perform a non-destructive, threedimensional
analysis of the...
The Horsetail Creek Bridge (HCB), constructed in 1914, is located along the Historic Columbia River Highway in Oregon. The original cross beams from the HCB were substantially deficient in shear strength, particularly for the projected increase in traffic loads. One control beam and three beams with varying configurations of a...

Background: During cellulosic ethanol production, cellulose hydrolysis is achieved by synergistic action of cellulase
enzyme complex consisting of multiple enzymes with different mode of actions. Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is
one of the bottlenecks in the commercialization of the process due to low hydrolysis rates and high cost of
enzymes....
