2. 1. Coated Norway Spruce : Influence of Wood Characteristics on Water Sorption and Coating Durability

   Author : Tinh Sjökvist; Åsa Blom; Carsten Mai; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Heartwood; Sapwood; Wood extractives; Moisture content; Paint; Alkyd; Acrylic; Linseed oil; Calcimine paint; Mould; Fungi; Algae; Weathering; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood used outdoors is often degraded and discoloured by microorganisms as a natural part of its life cycle, particularly when exposed to high levels of moisture for prolonged times. In this case, the application of a coating (i.e. paint) is an option for increasing the service life of the wood. READ MORE

4. 2. A revolution in favour of government : the American constitution and ideas about state formation, 1787-1788

   Author : Max Edling; Gordon Wood; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; statsvetenskap; Political Science;

   Abstract : This dissertation analyses the debate over the ratification of the American Constitution between the Federalists, who supported the Constitution's adoption, and the Antifederalists, who opposed adoption. It challenges the traditional interpretation of the Federalist persuasion as primarily concerned with limited government and minority rights. READ MORE

5. 3. Poplar wood formation : genotypical influences on structure and chemistry

   Author : David Sandquist; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Genotypical effects on wood formation in aspen (Populus tremula x tremuloides) have been studied at morphological, ultrastructural and micro-distributional levels. To characterize transgenically in­duced modifications, light-, fluorescence-, UV-, scanning- and transmission electron microscopy have been applied complement­ed by immunolabeling, histochemistry, multivariate statistics and image analysis.

6. 4. On the wood chipping process : a study on basic mechanisms in order to optimize chip properties for pulping

   Author : Lisbeth Hellström; Torbjörn Carlberg; Per Engstrand; Sören Östlund; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood chipping; Chip formation; Digital Speckle Photography; Friction; Fracture Processes; Analytical model; Laboratory Wood Chipper; Force Measurement; Vibration Synthesis; Energy Efficiency; Chip Damage; TMP; CTMP; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

   Abstract : In both the chemical and mechanical pulping process, the logs are cut into wood chips by a disc chipper before fibre separation. To make the wood chipping process more efficient, one have to investigate in detail the coupling between process parameters and the quality of the chips. READ MORE

7. 5. The significance of ethylene and ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTORS in wood formation of hybrid aspen

   Abstract : The woody tissues serve to stabilise plants, store nutrients and translocate water and minerals. The formation of wood, or ’secondary xylem’, follows a well-defined developmental gradient which is initiated by cell division activity in the vascular cambium. READ MORE
