Potentially increased sawmill yield from hardwoods using X-ray computed tomography for knot detection
One of the most important wood defects affecting the value yield from European beech (Fagus sylvatica [L.]) logs is knots that are visible on the sawn wood surface. The non-invasive technology of X-ray computed t...

Stem modeling and simulation of conversion of cork oak stems for quality wood products
Recent research is underway to study cork oak (Quercus suber L.) wood potential for production of wood components. A total of 35 stems of young and mature cork oaks were sampled, live sawn into flitches, scanned ...

Heartwood and sapwood development within maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) stems
Heartwood and sapwood development in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is reported based on 35 trees randomly sampled in four sites in Portugal. It was possible to model the number of heartwood rings with cambi...
