Combinatorial Optimization In Forest Ecosystem Management Modeling, Emi̇n Zeki̇ Başkent Jan 2001

Combinatorial Optimization In Forest Ecosystem Management Modeling, Emi̇n Zeki̇ Başkent

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Modeling forest management activities has been tackled by scientists over the last two decades. Both simulation and optimization techniques have been used in solving forest management planning problems. With the introduction of ecosystems management that focuses on the sustainable production and maintenance of ecological, social and economical values, neither approach provided a credible solution technique to help design the complex structure of forest management activities. Alternative to these, is a group of meta-heuristic or combinatorial optimization techniques which have just gained the attention of forest modelers. In this paper, an attempt is made to introduce the concept of combinatorial optimization, …

Withdrawal Strength Of Dowels In Plywood And Oriented Strand Board, Yusuf Zi̇ya Erdi̇l, Carl A. Eckelman

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) are being used increasingly in the construction of upholstered furniture frames. Yet there is little information available concerning the holding strength of various fasteners, and, in particular, dowels in these materials. A study was conducted accordingly, to obtain basic information about the holding strength of dowels in both plywood and oriented strand board. Results of the tests were incorporated into predictive expressions that allow designers to estimate withdrawal strength as a function of the diameter of the dowels, their depth of embedment and the density of the composite material. Given the variability of the …
