Heat treatments are carried out on the wood to modify hygroscopic properties and its dimensional stability. This allows low-grade be used in exposed applications. document provides a systematized bibliographic review related available technologies that allow heat treatment of wood. For this, scientific databases were consulted where previous studies with high temperature drying found served as ...

      In order to study the effects of post-anthesis heat stress and nitrogen levels on grain yield and yield components of wheat genotypes, two separate field experiments were conducted in delayed and optimum sowing dates under Ahvaz conditions (2006-2007). The Ahvaz site located in south west of Iran (32°20' N, 40°20' E) with subtropical climate condition. The experiment site had a moderate w...

Susceptibility of Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) Life Stages to Elevated Temperatures Used During Structural Heat Treatments Authors: C. Yu, B. Subramanyam, P.W. Flinn, J.A. Gwirtz Submitted to: Journal of Economic Entomology Methyl bromide is still widely used in food processing and storage facilities for the suppression of storedproduct insect pests, but its use is schedul...

Vapor heat treatments were developed against life stages of the mealybug Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae). Treatments tested were 47 degrees C for 5-50 min in 5-min increments and 49 degrees C for 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 min. All tests were conducted with mixed age M. hirsutus on Chinese pea, Pisum sativum L. Treatment at 47 degrees C required 45 min to kill all M. hirsu...

Systematic investigations of transient effects in the depletion voltage of radiation damaged silicon detectors after heat treatments have been performed. Experimental results on the change of the depletion voltage induced by forward bias, illumination or further heat treatments are presented. The observed change as function of time and temperature is discussed in terms of the generation, activa...
