INCREMENT CORES How to Collect , Handle , and Use Them
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes increment cores (a useful tool in forestry and wood technology) and their uses which include age determination, growth increment, specific gravity determination, fiber length measurements, fibril angle measurements, cell measurements, and pathological investigations. Also described is the use and care of the increment borer which is essential in obtaining good cores. A caution is also given as to the tree damage that boring can cause, with suggestions for minimizing damage.

Research Report Laser Trimming Tree-ring Cores for Dendrochemistry of Metals
This article discusses the application of laser to trim the outer surface from tree-ring increment cores in preparation for dendrochemistry of certain metals. A source of contamination specific to dendrochemistry of metals is metal constituents, such as iron, tungsten, chromium, nickel, and cobalt, coming off tools used to collect and process cores and adhering to the sample surface. One method...
متن کاملArchitecture Design Utilizing Precedents The Study of How Iranian Professional Architects Use Design Precedents
Designers usually use precedents in their designs. They may use them through different stages of the design process and to different ends. As this use is important, the study of its positive and negative aspects has encouraged numerous studies to find out about the correct way of using them. In this paper, the use of design precedents is studied by interviewing professional architects and the r...
متن کاملPinus taeda L. wood property calibrations based on variable numbers of near infrared spectra per core and cores per plantation
Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy provides a rapid, non-destructive method for the estimation of several wood properties of increment cores. MR spectra are collected from adjacent sections of the same core; however, not all spectra are required for calibration purposes as spectra from the same core are autocorrelated. Previously, we showed that wood property calibrations that included a single s...

Increasing the number of cores integrated on a chip and the problems of system on chips caused to emerge networks on chips. NoCs have features such as scalability and high performance. NoCs architecture provides communication infrastructure and in this way, the blocks were produced that their communication with each other made NoC. Due to increasing number of cores, the placement of the cores i...
متن کاملAn O(m) Algorithm for Cores Decomposition of Networks
The structure of large networks can be revealed by partitioning them to smaller parts, which are easier to handle. One of such decompositions is based on k–cores, proposed in 1983 by Seidman. In the paper an efficient, O(m), m is the number of lines, algorithm for determining the cores decomposition of a given network is presented.
