The purpose of this study was to present an application the artificial neural network (ANN) that predicts bonding strength glulam manufactured from plane tree (Platanus orientalis L.) wood layers adhered with a combination modified starch adhesive and UF resin. Bonding measured at different weight ratios containing values nano-zinc oxide as additive under conditions press temperature time. As p...

Platanus tree leaves were successfully used as a novel sorbent for removing of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. A 2(3) full factorial design was performed for screening of the main factors. The pH, initial concentration of dye (C(d)) and amount of sorbent (m) were considered to be the three main factors at two different levels. It was found that all these factors and their intera...

Previous reports have shown that CO(2) dissolved in xylem sap in tree stems can move upward in the transpiration stream. To determine the fate of this dissolved CO(2), the internal transport of respired CO(2) at high concentration from the bole of the tree was simulated by allowing detached young branches of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) to transpire water enriched with a known quantity o...
