Wood products and wood protection in China
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2000m3 in 2010 (Guan 1997). The forestry coverage in China is limited, and wood deterioration, caused by animals, insects, microorganisms, climate and other environmental circumstances decrease the durability of wood. The study of wood protection in China is called for to find ways and means to increase the service life of wood in use and therefore ...

The use of wood by mankind is as old as mankind itself. The main reason why the Stone Age is not called the Wood Age is the fact that most wooden artefacts from that time have already been taken up in nature’s recycling system. Wood has excellent material properties.

Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, 2004
This paper aims to show the potential decay resistance of furfurylated wood and investigate possible eco‐toxicity of such materials produced. This paper deals with the environmental aspects and durability of furfurylated wood, both laboratory and field tests are included in the investigations. Results from several decay tests, emission analysis studies

Wood Durability, Protection and Preservation
1989Wood has three shortcomings that tend to limit its structural use: (1) it is subject to deterioration by weathering and by attack of various organisms, (2) it is combustible, and (3) it is subject to swelling and shrinking.

Lightning protection of wood-pole lines
Electrical Engineering, 1940The reliability of wood-pole transmission lines during the lightning season has long been a problem with operating companies. To meet the ever increasing service demands approximately 60 miles of line were reconstructed using the inherent insulation of a wood-pole line with lightning protector tubes on one of three conductors.

Wood Energy: Protect Local Ecosystems
Science, 2009In their Policy Forum paper “Wood energy in America” (13 March, p. [1432][1]), D. deB. Richter Jr. et al. argue cogently for deployment of advanced wood combustion (AWC) systems to meet a range of objectives, and they demonstrate the potential economic and energy values of community-based AWC ...

Charring of protected wood studs
Fire and Materials, 1998The charring of wood studs has been studied in the cone calorimeter at constant heat flax 50 kW/m(2) and compared to data from full-scale furnace wall tests. The wood studs were unprotected or protected by gypsum plasterboards on the exposed side. Similar charring depths were found and the data analysed mainly in terms of fire exposure.

Ultraviolet Protective Eyewear for Wood’s Light Use
Pediatric Dermatology, 2011Abstract: When interpreting delayed patch test reads for children suspected of having contact dermatitis, we use the Wood’s light to illuminate the highlighter outlines we made at the first read. Our pediatric patients wear single‐use ultraviolet protective goggles to shield their retinas, because children have a propensity to attempt to look into the
