1. Thermally Modified Timber : Novel Aspects of Bending Behaviour Towards Grading and Structural Applications
Abstract : Thermally modified timber (TMT) has gained market share in Europe as an environmentally friendly and durable building material. Unfortunately, TMT products are currently prohibited for use in structural applications as there is insufficient data to estimate the loss in strength due to thermal modification. READ MORE

2. Applications of diffusion MRI: Tensor-valued encoding, time-dependent diffusion, and histological validation
Abstract : Diffusion MRI (dMRI) sensitizes the MR signal to the diffusion of water molecules at the microscopic level and thereby non-invasively probes tissue microstructure. This is relevant when determining biological properties of tissues, for example, cancer type and its malignancy. READ MORE

3. Integrated strength grading
Abstract : This work comprises strength grading for structural timber according to European standards and prediction of grade-determining properties by various technologies and in various stages of the sawmilling process. The detection technologies applied on logs were outer shape scanning, laser scattering, x-ray scanning and resonance analysis. READ MORE

4. The absorptance of metallic alloys to Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF laser light
Abstract : In Laser Material Processing of metals, an understanding of the fundamental absorption mechanisms plays a vital role in determining the optimum processing parameters and conditions. The absorptance, which is the fraction of the incident laser light which is absorbed, depends on a number of different parameters. READ MORE

5. Influence of waxes on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture performance
Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. READ MORE
