Book excerpt: Excerpt from Potential Growth of the Southern Pine Plywood IndustrySeveral simplifying assumptions are inherent in the model: (1) The economic system is in equilibrium at the given price level. 2) Each industry makes a unique set of products. (3) Production functions are linear and homo geneous, and the factors of production are utilized in fixed proportions. Although these assumptions do not limit the present analysis, they affect the development of parameters for altering the model over time. For instance, the direct coefficients are based on assumption (3 which rules out both internal and external economies and diseconomies of scale. Further more, it does not allow for relative price changes over time. Thus, the coefficients are not responsive to conditions that are likely to cause important changes in the economy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Potential for Producing Ponderosa Pine Plywood in the Black Hills Classic Reprint written by Dennis M. Donnelly and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Potential for Producing Ponderosa Pine Plywood in the Black Hills A major advantage of producing plywood in the Black Hills area of South Dakota and Wyoming is prox imity to major markets. Plywood produced there could be delivered to Great Plains and upper Midwest markets at a freight cost lower than that from other major softwood plywood producing regions. Market potentials for softwood plywood in the United States are very strong for the foreseeable future. However, because ponderosa pine is not a well established plywood species, there is some question about the share of the market it can command. Because Black Hills ponderosa pine yields primarily C and D grade veneers, its utilization would be limited mainly to plywood products made from these grades, such as roof and wall sheathing, siding, or flooring. Other special plywood products for use in new residential, homeowner, nonresidential construction, and indus trial markets seem promising also. Small volumes of B Patch and better veneer might be marketed as stock for products where appearance is of some importance, such as cabinets. In addition, recent developments in performance standards for sheathing panels, including plywood, may have expanded market possibilities for woods such as ponderosa pine. Performance-rated sheathing panels are designed, manufactured and identified for specific construction end uses (american Plywood Association Such panels conform to criteria for panel strength, stiffness, durability, stability and other properties relevant to the end-use. If structural criteria are met, panels can be made entirely from veneer faces bonded to a reconstituted wood core, or from reconstituted wood. In the case of plywood manufactured from ponder osa pine in the Black Hills, the provisions of Product Standard 1-74 (american Plywood Association 1974] remain applicable. However, it is possible that such plywood could now obtain upgraded span ratings through testing for sheathing end-use applications. See the appendix for details about sheathing applications and span ratings. Plywood variables such as veneer thickness and orientation, along with inherent wood properties, would determine in part how well such panels meet the standards for performance-rated sheathing.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pinus radiata (radiata pine) is a versatile, fast-growing, medium-density softwood, suitable for a wide range of end-uses. Its silviculture is highly developed, and is built on a rm foundation of over a century of research, observation and practice. Radiata pine is often considered a model for growers of other plantation species. This book explores current knowledge of, and experience with radiata pine forest plantation management and examines its long-term sustainability. Radiata pine management needs to integrate the biological aspects of tree-growing, with socio-economics, management objectives, practical considerations and other constraints and opportunities. Although stands of radiata pine may appear to be simple, they are actually quite complex ecosystems because they contain large, long-lived trees that change dramatically over time and interact in changing ways with the environment and with other organisms. The focus of this book is on the principles and practices of growing radiata pine sustainably. It also looks ahead to emerging challenges facing radiata pine plantation management, such as the effects of climate change, new diseases and other threats, and meeting changing product needs and societal demands."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Twentieth Century Building Materials written by Thomas C. Jester and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.

Download or read book Democratizing Innovation written by Eric Von Hippel and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-02-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of user-centered innovation: how it can benefit both users and manufacturers and how its emergence will bring changes in business models and in public policy. Innovation is rapidly becoming democratized. Users, aided by improvements in computer and communications technology, increasingly can develop their own new products and services. These innovating users—both individuals and firms—often freely share their innovations with others, creating user-innovation communities and a rich intellectual commons. In Democratizing Innovation, Eric von Hippel looks closely at this emerging system of user-centered innovation. He explains why and when users find it profitable to develop new products and services for themselves, and why it often pays users to reveal their innovations freely for the use of all.The trend toward democratized innovation can be seen in software and information products—most notably in the free and open-source software movement—but also in physical products. Von Hippel's many examples of user innovation in action range from surgical equipment to surfboards to software security features. He shows that product and service development is concentrated among "lead users," who are ahead on marketplace trends and whose innovations are often commercially attractive. Von Hippel argues that manufacturers should redesign their innovation processes and that they should systematically seek out innovations developed by users. He points to businesses—the custom semiconductor industry is one example—that have learned to assist user-innovators by providing them with toolkits for developing new products. User innovation has a positive impact on social welfare, and von Hippel proposes that government policies, including R&D subsidies and tax credits, should be realigned to eliminate biases against it. The goal of a democratized user-centered innovation system, says von Hippel, is well worth striving for. An electronic version of this book is available under a Creative Commons license.
Download or read book Goodman s British Planemakers written by Jane Rees and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the classic reference British Planemakers from 1700 has been completely rewritten, with over 200 pages of new information. Online research tools haven enabled much greater insight into family connections of planemakers, family and business continuities, and the discovery of previously unknown planemakers. Confirmation that planemakers were working in the late 1600s, in fact, inspired the new edition’s title, Goodman’s British Planemakers. The biographic directory covers more than 2400 planemakers and includes 2250 maker's mark illustrations. Like its predecessors, the new edition traces the development of British planemaking, but far more extensively, now confirming that planemakers moved around the country to a much greater extent than previously realized, and identifying several new family planemaking dynasties. The book includes chapters on the planemaking trade and its practices, descriptions and illustrations of the many types of planes and their evolution, and provincial planemaking, as well as sections on apprentice records, trade marks, and a complete index. An absolutely invaluable reference.
