Livelihood Dependence on Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) - A Study of Jenukuruba Tribes in South India [PDF]
An understanding of the nature and extent of households' dependence on NTFPs can facilitate the policy decisions for development and welfare of tribals vis-a-vis conservation and management of forest wealth.

Electron, EarlyView.Herein, a biomimetic, anisotropic, robust wood‐derived 3D conductive Bio‐C@YB2C2 framework was synthesized by in situ boron/carbon thermal reduction reaction on the carbonized wood template. The as‐obtained Bio‐C@YB2C2 composites accurately inherit the specific microstructure of natural wood, providing pathways for terahertz wave dissipation.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

The Safety-net Use of Non Timber Forest Products [PDF]
Incompleteness of insurance markets is a crucial weakness of developing countries. In this context, the poor households of rural regions often exploit common property resources, such as forests, as insurance in case of economics stress.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

Gum and Resin as a Non-Timber Forest Product
International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied SciencesNon-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) form an integral part of the socio-economic fabric for forest dwelling and tribal communities in India as well as some other tropical countries. Gums and resins in particular have been highly valued due to their broad range of applications in the food, pharmaceuticals, traditional medicine, cosmetics and multiple ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.
