With the rapidly growing interest in using structural timber, a need exists to inspect and
assess these structures using non-destructive testing (NDT). This review article summarizes …

Purpose of review This review covers electrical phenomena originating from the physical
properties of wood, relevant to tree biology and timber industry applications. Membrane …

Wood is an important renewable resource for a future sustainable bioeconomy. Ion-
mediated response in wood is considered a major factor in sap-flow regulation. This study …

Recently, work has been carried out in New Zealand to develop Joule heating as a
treatment for logs of Pinus radiata and other forestry species. Such heating has been shown …

Wood, a hygroscopic material, is sometimes exposed to organic solvents for decoration or
protection. Compared with measuring moisture contents, it is still challenging to estimate the …

The correlation between electrical resistance and moisture content (MC) of wood has been
studied for many years and is the basis for an important method for determining wood MC in …
