Wood Formation Modeling - A Research Review and Future Perspectives.
Annemarie H Eckes-Shephard, Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, David M Drew, Cyrille BK Rathgeber, Andrew D Friend
Apr 06, 2022
Wood formation has received considerable attention across various research fields as a key process to model. Historical and contemporary models of wood formation from various disciplines have encapsulated hypotheses such as the...
Comparative cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of wood pellet production with torrefaction
Torrefaction is a thermal pre-treatment process for upgrading raw biomass into a more energy dense fuel. Torrefied biomass is combined with a densification process to increase its bulk density similar to conventional...
Wood waste as an alternative thermal insulation for buildings
Current insulation materials in the construction market, which are predominantly inorganic materials, have a high performance in relation to heat transfer, i.e. high R-values, but the environmental impacts in their production...
Wood structure explained by complex spatial source-sink interactions.
Wood is a remarkable material with great cultural, economic, and biogeochemical importance. However, our understanding of its formation is poor. Key properties that have not been explained include the anatomy of growth rings...

Forest loss and degradation are the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Rising global wood demand threatens further damage to remaining native forests. Contrasting solutions across a continuum of options have been...
Into the Wood
Tamara L Follini

Abstract: This article performs a close reading of James’s 1874/1875 neglected Italian travelogue “Ravenna,” approaching it as a disguised parable of difficulties he confronted as an aspiring writer, in particular those...
An upcycled wood sponge adsorbent for drinking water purification by solar steam generation
The shortage of freshwater resources caused by heavy metal pollution is an acute global issue. Herein, a novel nanoplatform was fabricated by hydrothermal deposition of 3D-MoS2 nanospheres onto biocompatible wood...

Did Somebody Say Augustan Totalitarianism? Duncan Kennedy’s ‘Reflections,’ Hannah Arendt’s $\textit{Origins}$, and the Continental Divide over Virgil’s $\textit{Aeneid}$
E Giusti
Feb 23, 2017
The allegedly old-fashioned debate over the pro- or anti- Augustanism of Augustan texts was superseded in 1992 by Duncan Kennedy’s ‘reflections’ over these terms of reference. Since then, the old dichotomy has appeared to be...
Beyond What Meets the Eye
Wood presents a hierarchical structure, containing features at all length scales: from the tracheids or vessels that make up its cellular structure, through to the microfibrils within the cell walls, down to the molecular...
