Many species of the Fagaceae have been variously interpreted
on the basis, primarily of external morphological characteristics.
The objectives of this study are to elucidate generic and specific
characteristics of the wood of Fagaceae and to attempt to obtain evidence
regarding taxonomic relationships among some of the species
occurring in...
The Best Opening Face (BOF) log breakdown model was
modified to keep track of growth ring angle and growth
ring density in boards. The model was used to determine
the effects of producing rectangular rather than square
pencil stock. While an increase in volume did result,
there was also a...
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...
