2. 1. Wood Fingerprints : Recognition of Sawn Wood Products

   Author : Tobias Pahlberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träproduktutveckling; Wood Products Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with wood fingerprints and presents ways to track sawn wood products through an industrial process using cameras. The possibility to identify individual wood products comes from the biological variation of the trees, where the genetic code, environment and breakdown process creates a unique appearance for every board.

4. 2. Improving Wood Fuel Pellets for Household Use : Perspectives on Quality, Efficiency and Environment

   Author : Magnus Ståhl; Bengt Månsson; Johan Vinterbäck; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wood fuel pellets; sawdust; drying; pellet production; recirculation; quality; efficency; environment; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : Bioenergy is one of many contributors to reducing the use of fossil fuels in order to mitigate climate change by decreasing CO2-emissions, and the potential for biofuels are large. The wood fuel pellets are a refined biofuel made of sawdust, which is dried and compressed to achieve improved fuel and transportation properties. READ MORE

5. 3. On the small strain stiffness of some Scandinavian clays and impact on deep excavation

   Author : Tara Wood; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soft clay; small strain stiffness; degradation; seismic testing; sample quality;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the results of a comprehensive study on the small strain stiffness of several Swedish clays and its tentative effect on the design of retaining structures. A combination of field measurement techniques, seismic dilatometer and surface seismics, are complemented with bender element testing of the retrieved samples. READ MORE

6. 4. Colour – A Reliable  Quality-Control Tool for Industrial Thermowood® Production

   Author : Petteri Torniainen; Dennis Jones; Olov Karlsson; Dick Sandberg; Henrik Veikko Juhani Heräjärvi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Thermally-modified timber; Thermo-S; Thermo-D; colour L*a*b*; Scots pine; Pinus sylvestris; Norway spruce; Picea abies; quality control; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : The objective of the work presented in this doctoral thesis has been to correlate the commercial output of  ThermoWood® process with a pre-defined, quantifiable, non-destructive measurable parameter - colour, and to show the feasibility of measurements to be the essential part of the internal and external quality-control system. Colour is the most evident property changed of thermally-modified timber (TMT). READ MORE

7. 5. On reflections of wood : wood quality features modelled by means of multivariate image projections to latent structures in multispectral images

   Author : Olle Hagman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

   Abstract : Classifying logs and boards has an essential economic impact on the forest products industry. In a modern production chain, quality control and raw material specifications are essential to fulfill production system demands as well as end user demands. READ MORE
