Electrical Breakdown Analysis of Emerging Oil–Paper Insulation Systems
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This investigation addresses the effect of particulate additives on the electrical breakdown strength of the oil impregnated insulation paper system. The morphological complexity is addressed by converting data from scanning electron microscope images to a data set suitable for numerical simulation analysis. Then, by using the conventional oil‐

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The incorporation of nanocellulose‐doped insulating paper into the material composition of a given structure has been demonstrated to enhance the material’s mechanical properties and retard the development of cracks. However, the effects of different length‐to‐diameter ratios of nanocellulose are different.

Canada-US Softwood Lumber Trade Revisited: Examining the Role of Substitution Bias in the Context of a Spatial Price Equilibrium Framework [PDF]
In the last two decades, softwood lumber trade between Canada and the United States has been characterized by numerous trade restrictions. Many studies have attempted to quantify the effects of such sanctions, and in doing so, softwood lumber was modeled

MICROSTRUCTURAL AND PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF HEAT TREATED WOOD. PART 1. SOFTWOODS
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2006 Heat treatment of wood is an effective method to improve the dimensional stability and durability against biodegradation. Optimisation of a two-stage heat treatment process at relatively mild conditions (

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman
Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.
