Modulus of Elasticity Loss as a Rapid Indicator of Rot-fungal Attack on Untreated and Preservative-treated Wood in Laboratory Tests

BioResources, 2017
The modulus of elasticity (MOE) of wood is a sensitive indicator of rot-fungal attack. To develop an alternative method of rapid assessment of fungal decay in the laboratory, changes in static MOE of untreated and preservative-treated wood were measured ...

Duftstoffe aus Holzalterungsprozessen als Infochemikalien für Trypodendron domesticum L. (Col., Scolytidae) und dessen Bedeutung innerhalb der Buchenkomplexkrankheit [PDF]

, 2008
Beginning in Belgium 1999, low mountain ranges of middle Europe were afflicted with the “European beech bark disease” (EBBD). It was first described by Hartig in 1878 as a complex disease where infestation of beech scale (Cryptococcus fagisuga; Hemiptera,

Exploring glycoside hydrolases and accessory proteins from wood decay fungi to enhance sugarcane bagasse saccharification

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2016
BackgroundGlycoside hydrolases (GHs) and accessory proteins are key components for efficient and cost-effective enzymatic hydrolysis of polysaccharides in modern, biochemically based biorefineries. Currently, commercialized GHs and accessory proteins are

Ga‐on‐In Substitution with Zn Vacancies in Zn3In2S6 Induces Electron–Hole Asymmetry and In─O Bond Weakening for Coupled Two‐Electron Oxygen Reduction and H2O2 Stabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ga‐on‐In substitution coupled with Zn vacancies in Zn3In2S6 creates a dopantdefect synergy that weakens InO bonding and induces electronhole asymmetry. The resulting spatial charge separation directs the two‐electron oxygen reduction pathway, enabling efficient artificial photosynthesis of H2O2 with a production rate of 187.8 µmol g−1 min−1 ...

EFFECTS OF WATER-BORNE ROSIN ON THE FIXATION AND DECAY RESISTANCE OF COPPER-BASED PRESERVATIVE TREATED WOOD

BioResources, 2012
A rosin sizing agent designed to impregnate wood and immobilize copper in wood cells for protection against decay was investigated. Poplar (Populus ussuriensis) wood was impregnated with combinations of 3% CuSO4 solution and 1.0%, 2.0%, or 4.0% rosin ...

Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...

Molecular characterization and biodiversity of wood-decaying fungi in French Guiana [PDF]

, 2014
Fungi from tropical regions are currently under-represented in the classification system. Indeed, difficult access to tropical forests and irregular occurrence carpophores make it complicated to study fungus species in such environments, unlike in ...
