IFDR: An Efficient Iterative Optimization Algorithm for Standard Cell Placement by Feng Cheng, Junfa Mao

“…Experiments on the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina (MCNC) standard cell benchmarks [http://www.cbl.ncsu.edu/pub/Benchmark_ dirs/Layout Synth92/] have been done, and the results show that total wire length is reduced up to 25% and by an average of 16% in comparison with that from the placement algorithm of TimberWolf7.0.…”

Carbon Stocks on Forest Stewardship Program and Adjacent Lands by Nilesh Timilsina, Francisco J. Escobedo, Alison E. Adams, Damian C. Adams

“…Ecosystem services are benefits from nature that are directly enjoyed, consumed, or used by humans, such as water quality improvement or protection, recreation, biodiversity, and even timber. Another benefit from forests that is gaining interest is their ability to store carbon through the photosynthetic capture of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in tree, plant, and soil biomass. …”

Mechanical behavior of additive manufactured wood-based composites for construction by Milinda Yapa Hamillage, Robert Carne, Armando G McDonald, Michael Maughan, Ahmed A Ibrahim, Daniel J Robertson

“…In this paper the spatially varying mechanical behavior of a single layer of a 3D-printed wood-sodium silicate composite with a 50:50 wt.% known as PrinTimber was investigated. Flexural testing revealed the outer edges of a single printed layer of composite material exhibited greater strength compared to the inner regions of the same sample. …”

Progress in the Study of Dry Shrinkage Deformation and Drying Stress of Raw Bamboo by Jiayi Zhu, Lin Yang

“…Bamboo is a sustainable material that supports carbon sequestration and helps address the imbalance of timber supply vs. demand. Drying is a crucial step in bamboo processing, in the course of which shrinkage and stress accumulation can lead to defects such as cracking and deformation. …”
