Cutting of wood using short-wavelength (266-, 355-, 532-, and 1064-nm) lasers was carried out and wavelength dependence in relation to machining performance and post-processing appearance was investigated. We ...
6-O-[Acetylacetonato-bis(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)]-2,3-di-O-myristyl cellulose (3) was prepared from 2,3-di-O-myristyl cellulose (1) by two reaction steps in 37.7 % total yield. The LB monolayer film of comp...
Friction between metal tools and wood under high pressure (≥1 MPa) necessarily arises during wood deformation processes and is thus an important factor to be taken into account when wood is processed. We focus...
This paper presents a study on rolling shear damage accumulation and duration of load of cross-laminated timber (CLT) with low cycle fatigue tests. The study of the duration-of-load (DOL) effect on strength p...
We isolated and identified compounds in medicinal plant extracts that could control melanogenesis. Sudanese medicinal plants were extracted with methanol (MeOH) and 50 % ethanol (EtOH)/water, yielding 104 extr...
Engineered endonucleases that digest the specific sequences can be used to modify target genomes precisely. This is called “genome editing” and is used widely to modify the genome of various organisms. The DNA...
The mortise–tenon joint, which connects columns and beams of a wooden building, often creates a gap in contact part of members. This gap is considered to affect mechanical performance of the mortise–tenon join...
Pretreatment is an essential step to effectively hydrolyze lignocellulosic polysaccharides. In this paper, we investigated the degree of decompositions of lignin and cell wall structure using dilute acid, alka...

We evaluated the durability of wood-based panels by comparing their dynamic modulus of elasticity (Ed) when subjected to repetitive humid and dry treatments. The panels experienced 1-year and 3-month outdoor e...
In the present study, we identify similar Pinus species that have been used as building materials for traditional architecture in Korea. Discriminant models were designed to identify wood species of Pinus densifl...
This study focused on solute diffusing into cell walls in solution-impregnated wood during conditioning, process of moderate drying of solvent. To clarify the effect of solution concentration on the diffusion ...
For the purpose of elucidating the effect of rheological property of wood on lateral tensile fracture, failure strain, elastic modulus, and creep at various temperature conditions were measured. And, relations...
