Genotype (G), environment (E), management (M), and their interactions determine grain yield, biochemical composition, quality of wheat. However, we are not aware studies evaluating whether intensive can simultaneously reduce yield gaps improve wheat milling baking attributes, which were our main objectives. A factorial experiment five genotypes × four intensities (farmer practice, high-input, h...

The dimensional instability of rubberwood [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Müll. Arg.] is one the major drawbacks that limits its utilization. Therefore, treatment needed to improve these properties. Hydrothermal in different buffered media techniques stability. physical properties hydrothermally treated (pH 4, 6, 8, 10) and tap water 7.43) with temperatures (160 °C, 180 °C 200 °C) were...

The differences of physical and mechanical properties different laminations, such as softwood, hardwood or other structural composite lumber, in hybrid cross-laminated timber (HCLT), lead to their dimensional stability bonding performance more complex than generic (CLT). In this paper, the spruce-pine-fir (SPF) dimension lumber construction oriented strand board (COSB) were employed fabricate H...

In this study, Wood Ash (WA) prepared from the uncontrolled burning of the saw dust is evaluated for its suitability as partial cement replacement in conventional concrete. The saw dust has been acquired from a wood polishing unit. The physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of WA is presented and analyzed. The strength parameters (compressive strength, split tensile strength and f...

This study examined possible feasibility of canola (Brassica napus) straws in the production of particleboard. Three-layer experimental particleboards with density 0,7 g/cm3 were manufactured using different canola straws particle ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive. Modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond strength (IB), water abs...

The physical and mechanical properties of particleboard panels were evaluated relative to various loading levels nanocellulose (NC) boric acid (BA) in the urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin used for panel production. results showed that NC BA reinforcement substantially affected performance panels. It was determined using 3% afforded best thickness swelling (TS), water absorption (WA), moisture conte...
