Abstract
Due to the highest stresses occurring at the surfaces of a panel in
bending, the alignment of strands at the surface layers is crucial to
the bending strength and stiffness of oriented . . .
Mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and mold resistance

RTIL absorption of organic emissions from press and dry
exhaust.(Technical Note)(room-temperature ionic liquid)
Abstract
An absorption system using a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL)
was tested as an alternative to thermal oxidation of the pollutants in
dryer and press exhaust. Exhaust gas was . . .
Laboratory scale VOC emissions testing of air-dried basswood
lumber.(Technical Note)
Abstract
Random width, 32-mm (5/4-in) nominal thickness air-dried basswood
lumber was received from a supplier in the Lake States region. Two
laboratory-scale charges were cut from the lumber and . . .
Selected mechanical and physical properties of Chinese tallow
tree juvenile wood.(TECHNICAL NOTE)
Abstract
Chinese tallow tree is a noxious, invasive plant in the
Southeastern United States. It is generally considered a nuisance and
has no current commercial use. The objective of this . . .
Theoretical and experimental study of the thermal degradation of
Eucalyptus timber.
Abstract
Thermal action on timber causes it to degrade through combustion of
its chemical components, which leads to the release of vapors,
combustible gases and surface char. This diminishes its . . .
Recovering sawlogs from pulpwood-size plantation
cottonwood.(Statistical table)(Abstract)
Abstract
The study explores the possibilities of recovering sawlogs from
pulp-size poplar plantations. Under recent short-rotation high-density
management practice, only 1.2 percent of the trees . . .
Influence of decay fungi, construction characteristics, and
environmental conditions on the quality of wooden check-dams.
Abstract
Wooden crib dams are widely used for torrent control in mountainous
regions. Their life span is limited by geomorphological processes and
decay. We examined the species composition and . . .
Comparison of general fungal and basidiomycete-specific ITS
primers for identification of wood decay fungi.(internal transcribed
Abstract
The identity of the fungi associated with and responsible for wood
decay could lead to the development of more environmentally benign wood
preservative systems. In this study we have . . .
Effects of wood species and enzyme production on lignocellulose
degradation during the biodegradation of three native woods by T
Abstract
This paper investigated effects of wood species and enzyme
production on lignocellulose degradation during the biodegradation by
white-rot fungus. Three native wood species, . . .
Melamine-modified urea formaldehyde resin for bonding
particleboards.
Abstract
For the development of a cost-effective melamine-modified urea
formaldehyde resin (MUF), the study evaluated the effects of reaction pH
and melamine content on resin properties and bond . . .
Predictive modeling the internal bond of medium density
fiberboard using a modified principal component
analysis.(Report)
Abstract
In this paper, real-time process data are aligned in time-order
with destructive test data to reduce cost by better predictive modeling.
A modified principal component analysis (PCA) is . . .
A comparison of multiple linear regression and quantile
regression for modeling the internal bond of medium density
fiberboard.(
Abstract
Multiple linear regression (MLR) and quantile regression (QR)
models were developed for the intemal bond (IB) of medium density
fiberboard (MDF). The data set that aligned the 1t3 of MDF . . .
The effect of compressive load on the moisture content of oak
blocks during radio-frequency/vacuum drying.(Report)
Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a compressive
load of 0.092 MPa on the moisture content (MC) of oak (Quercus
variabilis) blocks with sides of 40 mm in each . . .
