Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Forest monitoring and harvesting policies [PDF]

Applied Mathematics and Computation, 1983
This paper considers the problem of what information must be measured in a forest management model in order to generate optimal feedback harvesting policies. Together with this question, the paper also addresses the issue of how LP-based models can be embedded within a dynamic programming framework, so that feedback rather than open-loop decisions can ...

Annual planning of harvesting resources in the forest industry [PDF]

International Transactions in Operational Research, 2010
AbstractA cost‐efficient use of harvesting resources is important in the forest industry. The main planning is carried out in an annual resource plan that is continuously revised. The harvesting operations are divided into harvesting and forwarding. The harvesting operation fells trees and puts them in piles in the harvest areas.
