21. Mitigating Off-Gassing and Self-Heating in Fuel Wood Pellets Storage : A Raw Materials Selection and Pre-Treatment Centred Approach
Sammanfattning : Wood pellets have become a preferred solid biomass fuel for heat and power generation due to their standardized nature, known properties, and consistent quality. However, pellets produced from fresh sawdust sometimes undergo self-heating and off-gassing during storage. This poses a challenge for their transportation and storage. LÄS MER
22. Silviculture adapted to multiple goals in Swedish small scale forestry : methods for choosing practices, biotopes, stands and events
Sammanfattning : During recent decades a new type of private forest owner has appeared in Sweden, with forestry goals other than simply generating money from wood production; these goals include hunting, maintaining biodiversity, cultural aspects and historical values. However, multiple goals often conflict with each other, leading to a problem of finding practices that can deliver several goals at the same time. LÄS MER
23. Fractionation of woody biomass : lignin and suberin in focus
Sammanfattning : This thesis is dedicated to the research of fractionation and valorization of different types of woody biomass. In the first part, oak (Quercus suber) and birch (Betula pendula) barks are considered. Bark is the outer layer of wood and is treated as waste in the current wood processing technologies. LÄS MER
24. POPULATION DYNAMICS AND TREE GROWTH STRUCTURE IN MATHEMATICAL ECOLOGY
Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on four papers related to mathematical biology, where three papers focus on population dynamics and one paper concerns tree growth and stem structure. The first two papers are mainly devoted to studying the dynamics of physiologically structured population models by using Escalator Boxcar Train (EBT) method. LÄS MER
25. An X-ray LogScanner : a tool for control of the sawmill process
Sammanfattning : Wood is a biological material with great variability. Every piece of wood is a unique individual. The great challenge in the wood products manufacturing process has always been to select pieces of wood with properties that fulfil the product requirements. LÄS MER
