Pinus mugo, known as dwarf mountain pine, [4] mountain pine, scrub mountain pine, Swiss mountain pine, [5] bog pine, creeping pine, [6] or mugo pine, [7] is a species of conifer, native to high elevation habitats from southwestern to Central Europe and Southeast Europe.
Dwarf mountain pine may refer to: Pinus mugo , also called creeping pine, a conifer native to high elevation habitats in Europe. Pherosphaera fitzgeraldii , also called Blue Mountains pine, is a critically endangered conifer species found only in New South Wales, Australia.
The Rhætic pine (Pinus × rhaetica) occurs occasionally throughout the regions where the two species overlap, from the northern side of the French Pyrenees through the Alps to the Carpathians in Slovakia, usually at the junction of the sub-alpine habitat of P. mugo and the montane forests of P. sylvestris.
Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin , cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional ...
The word comes from the Latin folium, meaning "leaf", and refers to the sheet-like planar structure. [1] It is caused by shearing forces (pressures pushing different sections of the rock in different directions), or differential pressure (higher pressure from one direction than in others). The layers form parallel to the direction of the shear ...
At heart it was about AWU control over woolsheds at shearing time. The restriction on wide combs was a union rule dating from 1910, and it had formally been incorporated into the Award in 1926. The rule had been around for so long that few people had a very clear idea about how it had come about or why it was regarded as so sacred by the ...
In the shearing shed the woolly sheep will be penned on a slatted wooden or woven mesh floor above ground level. The sheep entry to the shed is via a wide ramp, with good footholds and preferably enclosed sides. After shearing the shearing shed may also provide warm shelter for newly shorn sheep if the weather is likely to be cold and/or wet.
Furthermore, free water may contain chemicals, altering the drying characteristics of wood. Bound or hygroscopic water Bound water is bound to the wood via hydrogen bonds. The attraction of wood for water arises from the presence of free hydroxyl (OH) groups in the cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin molecules in the cell wall. The hydroxyl ...
