Penetration and Effectiveness of Micronized Copper in Refractory Wood Species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The North American wood decking market mostly relies on easily treatable Southern yellow pine (SYP), which is being impregnated with micronized copper (MC) wood preservatives since 2006. These formulations are composed of copper (Cu) carbonate particles (

The role of particle size of particulate nano-zinc oxide wood preservatives on termite mortality and leach resistance [PDF]

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2011
Historically most residential wood preservatives were aqueous soluble metal formulations, but recently metals ground to submicron size and dispersed in water to give particulate formulations have gained importance.

Pilot-Scale Pelleting Tests on High-Moisture Pine, Switchgrass, and Their Blends: Impact on Pellet Physical Properties, Chemical Composition, and Heating Values

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022
In this study, we evaluated the pelleting characteristics of southern yellow pine (SYP), switchgrass (SG), and their blends for thermochemical conversion processes, such as pyrolysis and gasification.

Pine defense against eggs of an herbivorous sawfly is elicited by an annexin‐like protein present in egg‐associated secretion

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 1033-1048, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Known elicitors of plant defenses against eggs of herbivorous insects are low‐molecular‐weight organic compounds associated with the eggs. However, previous studies provided evidence that also proteinaceous compounds present in secretion associated with eggs of the herbivorous sawfly Diprion pini can elicit defensive responses in Pinus ...

The impact of diarrhoea measurement methods for under 5s in low‐ and middle‐income countries on estimated diarrhoea rates at the population level: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of methodological and primary empirical studies

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 347-368, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective We systematically reviewed all studies published between 2000 and June 2021 that estimated under 5 diarrhoea rates in low‐ and middle‐income countries and extracted data on diarrhoea rates, measurement methods and reactivity. Methods We summarised data from studies that performed direct comparisons of methods, and indirectly compared

Plant‐Based Structures as an Opportunity to Engineer Optical Functions in Next‐Generation Light Management

Advanced Materials, Volume 34, Issue 6, February 10, 2022., 2022
This review presents a critical assessment of lignocellulosics for engineering optically functional materials for smart devices. It discusses the effects of fibrillation, fibril alignment, densification, self‐assembly, surface‐patterning, and compositing on targeted optical properties, such as transparency, haze, luminescence, UV‐absorption, and ...

Risk to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2018., 2018
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific evaluation on the risks to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in food. Regarding PFOS and PFOA occurrence, the final data set available for dietary exposure assessment contained a total of 20,019 analytical results ...

Optimizing Lumber Densification for Mitigating Rolling Shear Failure in Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

Construction Materials
Rolling shear in cross-laminated timber (CLT) has been identified as the governing factor influencing design value. Likewise, densification has been found to be an effective method of enhancing the rolling shear strength of lumber and in turn, CLT.
