Ecological studies on the symbiosis of termitomyces heim with Nigerian macrotermitinae [PDF]
, 1981 PhDThe relationship between termites of the sub-family Macrotermitinae and the symbiotic Basidiomycete fungus Termitomyces was investigated. Fieldwork was carried out on several termite species at Mokwa in the Southern Guinea savanna vegetation zone ...

Termite resistance of pine wood treated with nano metal fluorides
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2020 Fluorides are well-known as wood preservatives. One of the limitations of fluoride-based wood preservatives is their high leachability. Alternative to current fluoride salts such as NaF used in wood protection are low water-soluble fluorides.

Preliminary testing of the resistance of Finnish softwood timbers to Macrotermitinae termites.
Silva Fennica, 1983 The resistance of Finnish softwood timbers to Macrotermitinae termites was tentatively tested under tropical conditions in Zambia using a field microtest method. (L.) H. Karst. and L. sapwood and heartwood, as well as L.

Improving durability of cross laminated timber (CLT) with borate treatment
Journal of Wood Science, 2022 Borate solution was used to treat two sets of Douglas-fir wood samples, one by spraying cross-laminated timbers (CLT) and another set by dip-treating wood in solutions at different retentions.

Decay and termite resistance of phthaloylated wood
Wood Preservation, 2008 スギ辺材を無水フタル酸で化学修飾することによって得られたフタル化木材の耐朽性と耐蟻性を, アセチル化木材と比較しながら評価した。褐色腐朽菌オオウズラタケと白色腐朽菌カワラタケによる腐朽試験の結果, フタル化木材は, アセチル化木材よりも軽度な置換基導入で, 高い耐朽性を示すことが明らかとなり, その効果は特にオオウズラタケに対して顕著であった。このような高い耐朽性を付与するのに必要な置換基の分子構造の特徴を調べるために, フタル基と類似の構造を有する化学修飾木材を調製し, それらの耐朽性を調べた。その結果, 無水トリメリト酸がフタル化に匹敵する高い耐朽性を付与したのに対して, 無水安息香酸やcis-1, 2-シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸無水物では, 顕著な耐朽性が得られることはなく ...

Logistic constraints on 3D termite construction [PDF]
, 2004 . The building behaviour of termites has previously been modelled mathematically in two dimensions. However, physical and logistic constraints were not taken into account in these models. Here, we develop and test a three-dimensional agent-based model of
