CORK: SUSTAINABILITY AND NEW APPLICATIONS [PDF]
Frontiers in Materials, 2015 Cork is a strategic material used in multiple applications and its use has accompanied mankind since the days of Ancient Egypt. The cork oak forests are extremely well adapted to the semi-arid regions of southern Europe and northern Africa (western ...

Algebraic & Geometric Topology, 2017 For suitable finite groups G, we construct contractible 4-manifolds C with an effective G-action on $\partial C$ whose associated pairs (C,g) for all $g \in G$ are distinct smoothings of the pair $(C,\partial C)$. Indeed C embeds in a 4-manifold so that cutting out C and regluing using distinct elements of G yield distinct smooth 4-manifolds.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We derive a one-parameter family of gauged Skyrme models from Yang-Mills theory on S 1 × ℝ3, in which skyrmions are well-approximated by calorons and monopoles.

Cork Oak Production Estimation Using a Mask R-CNN
Energies, 2022 Cork is a versatile natural material. It can be used as an insulator in construction, among many other applications. For good forest management of cork oaks, forest owners need to calculate the volume of cork periodically.

Influence of water supply on cork increment and quality in Quercus suber L.
Central European Forestry Journal, 2022 Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) grows in the Mediterranean basis including Portugal and is the main species producing cork which is used prevailingly in stopper industry. In our paper, cork from Quercus suber L.

Thermal Desorption of 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole from Cork
Foods, 2023 While extensive efforts have been made over the past two decades to understand how cork becomes contaminated by 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA), the nature of its bond to cork remains unclear.
