Wooden cladding boards in cyclic moisture conditions : studies of cupping, moisture distribution and swelling stress [PDF]
One reason for the decreased durability of modern claddings is considered to be the use of deformation-sensitive cladding boards. At the end of the nineteenth century cladding boards were about 40 mm thick, whereas present-day instructions recommend ...

Effect of heat-moisture treatment on rice starch of varying amylose content
Abstract The effect of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) on the properties of rice starches with high-, medium- and low-amylose content was investigated. The starches were adjusted to 15%, 20% and 25% moisture levels, and heated at 110 °C for 1 h.
