Reduced Water

Moisture absorption results in dimensional deformation, mechanical property deterioration and fungi attack in wood composite products, which may be improved by the reinforcement of waterproof material. In this study, we used basalt fibre as a reinforcement material for fir sawdust panels and investigated the influence of basalt fibre content and length on moisture absorption rate and thickness swelling. The reinforced fir sawdust panel groups largely reduced water absorption rate, and the smallest thickness swelling occurred when the content of basalt fibre was 5%. The results also indicated that the basalt fibre content played a more important role than basalt fibre length on the thickness swelling of the reinforced fir sawdust panels.

Dimensional Variation

Moisture sorption of wood sawdust panel results in dimensional variation, deterioration of mechanical property and fungi attack, which may be improved by the reinforcement of waterproof material. In this study, the fir sawdust panel was reinforced by basalt glass particles with size smaller than 5 micron, in order to reduce moisture penetration. When the content of basalt glass powder was 15%, both the thickness swelling and 24 h water absorption rate of wood composites reached their minimum values, which were 2.7% and 11%, respectively. The thickness swelling was far smaller than the 45% upper limit of medium density fiberboard as described by standards GB/T17657-1999.

Saw Dust

This research aims to find out the effect of cement-saw dust ratio levels on the physical and mechanical properties of produced composites. The physical properties (density, water content, water absorption after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours, and thickness swelling after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours) and mechanical properties (MOE and MOR) were observed according to ISO standards. The results showed that the use of the cement to sawdust ratio of 3 : 1 in producing wood composite with the target density of 1200 kg/m3 resulted in the lowest water absorption and the highest MOE and MOR. The swelling value and MOR of the produced boards were not acceptable, but their water content, water absorption, and MOE parameters were acceptable according to ISO 8335 1997.

Insulation Materials

Both basalt fiber and mineral glass are water insulation materials, which are used to improve the permeability of engineered wood composite panels in this study. The contents of water resistant agent in wood composite panels are 0%,5%,10%,15%,20%,25%, respectively. It was found that the minimum thickness swelling was 2.55%, when the mineral glass content was 15%; the minimum thickness swelling was 5.09%, when the basalt fiber content was 5%. Both water insulation materials can reduce the water absorption, but mineral glass powder is more powerful.

Supporting Frame

The aerogel-type wood is prepared under crafts of dissolution of wood materials by 1 - propenyl -3- methylimidazolium ionic liquid and followed supercritical drying process. And then, cellulose fibers as supporting frame with incomplete three-dimensional cross-linked network are reformed after dissolution of aerogel-based timber. The reformed cellulose fibers possess microstructure that similar with light wood, stable chemical and physical properties, dry density of 0.221 g/cm3 and porosity over 87%. Additionally, the novel wood-based material achieved by green chemical treatment can continue to fix and store carbon absorbed during the growth stage of trees, and will also play a certain significance in areas of low-carbon and environmental protection.

Resonance Relation

The paper presents a summary of the results obtained by C. J. Cohen and E. C. Hubbard, who established by numerical integration that a resonance relation exists between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. The problem may be explored further by approximating the motion of Pluto by that of a particle with negligible mass in the three-dimensional (circular) restricted problem. The mass of Pluto and the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit are ignored in this approximation. Significant features of the problem appear to be the presence of two critical arguments and the possibility that the orbit may be related to a periodic orbit of the third kind.

And Function

The present knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of ribosomes is far too limited to enable a complete understanding of the various roles which ribosomes play in protein biosynthesis. The spatial arrangement of proteins and ribonuclec acids in ribosomes can be analysed in many ways. Determination of binding sites for individual proteins on ribonuclec acid and locations of the mutual positions of proteins on the ribosome using labeling with fluorescent dyes, cross-linking reagents, neutron-diffraction or antibodies against ribosomal proteins seem to be most successful approaches. Structure and function of ribosomes can be correlated be depleting the complete ribosomes of some proteins to the functionally inactive core and by subsequent partial reconstitution in order to regain active ribosomal particles.

Complete Interpretation

Previous freeze fracture results on the intact giant, amoeba Chaos carolinensis indicated the presence of a fibrillar arrangement of filaments within the cytoplasm. A complete interpretation of the three dimensional ultrastructure of these structures, and their possible role in amoeboid movement was not possible, since comparable results could not be obtained with conventional fixation of intact amoebae. Progress in interpreting the freeze fracture images of amoebae required a more thorough understanding of the different types of filaments present in amoebae, and of the ways in which they could be organized while remaining functional.The recent development of a calcium sensitive, demembranated, amoeboid model of Chaos carolinensis has made it possible to achieve a better understanding of such functional arrangements of amoeboid filaments. In these models the motility of demembranated cytoplasm can be controlled in vitro, and the chemical conditions necessary for contractility, and cytoplasmic streaming can be investigated. It is clear from these studies that “fibrils” exist in amoeboid models, and that they are capable of contracting along their length under conditions similar to those which cause contraction in vertebrate muscles.
