Recent advancements in nanotechnology application on wood and bamboo materials: A review
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023)
Wood and bamboo are the greenest renewable materials used for construction, furniture, and decor from the ancient ages. However, wood and bamboo have intrinsic faults like durability, ductility, physical and mechanical ...
Impregnation of Norway spruce with low melting-point binary fatty acid as a phase-change material
(CRC Press/Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Norway spruce was impregnated with a eutectic mixture of capric acid and stearic acid. The binary fatty acid was used as a bio-based phase-change material (PCM) for further applications with wood as a latent heat-storage ...
Comparative investigation of chemical and structural properties of charred fir wood samples by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy as well as X-ray-micro-CT technology
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023)
Wood surface charring is a treatment method commonly employed to enhance weather protection and aesthetic appearance of building exteriors. This study aims to investigate the differences between two wood surface charring ...
Artificial habitat - a chance for survival of a rare montane dragonfly (Odonata): case study on an alpine emerald (Somatochlora alpestris)
(Springer Netherlands, 2023)
The mountain ecosystems of Central Europe are an important natural phenomenon. The character of small isolated islands also predetermines their vulnerability. Typical inhabitant of subalpine and alpine peat bogs, tiny ...
Age Estimation of Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f. on Socotra Island: A Direct Method to Determine Its Lifespan
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
Background: Dracaena cinnabari is a monocot species that does not form annual tree rings; thus, its age can only be estimated. This species is threatened by low natural regeneration, with an evident absence of younger ...
Semantic segmentation of plant roots from RGB (mini-) rhizotron images-generalisation potential and false positives of established methods and advanced deep-learning models
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2023)
Background Manual analysis of (mini-)rhizotron (MR) images is tedious. Several methods have been proposed for semantic root segmentation based on homogeneous, single-source MR datasets. Recent advances in deep learning ...
Lectotypification of two names of Carex buekii hybrids (Cyperaceae) and notes on their morphology, ecology and distribution
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)
Lectotypes are designated for two Carex buekii hybrid names. The typification is supplemented with notes on their morphology, ecology, and distribution.
Prostorová závislost bazické saturace na zrnitostním a chemickém složení lesních půd v individuálním nebo typologickém členěníThe spatial dependence of base saturation on forest soil grain and chemical composition seen through individual and typological divisions
(Česká geografická společnost, 2023)
Půdní bazická saturace (BS) je fyzikálně-chemickou vlastností využívanou při klasifikaci suchozemských ekosystémů. V této studii jsme se zaměřili na porovnání půdní BS a prostorově souvisejících fyzikálních a chemických ...
Analytical Study for the Determination of the Energy Use Potential of Forest Dendromass in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
The European Union's current pressure on the Member States to adopt both the Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package is leading to an accelerated drive to put in place measures to meet the 2030 climate targets. At the same ...
Evaluating the quality of surface carbonized woods modified with a contact charring or a gas flame charring technique
(Springer New York, 2023)
Surface carbonization, or charring, of wooden exterior cladding boards is a modification method that creates a fully organic barrier layer in resemblance to a coating. The process effectively degrades the wood and transforms ...
