Assessment of the biological durability of oil palm trunk modified with 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxy-ethyleneurea (DMDHEU) following subsequent curing at elevated temperatures by Rosli, Siti Nurul Ashikin, Chin, Kit Ling, Lee, Chuan Li, Maminski, Mariusz, Abdullah, Luqman Chuah, Toczylowska-Maminska, Renata

“…High curing temperature (> 180 °C) caused cracks and ruptured the cell walls, exposing the untreated zone of the OPT to biological attack. As a non-biocidal wood modification, homogeneous dispersion of DMDHEU with adequate concentration and curing temperature is important to fully prevent OPT degradation by wood-destroying fungi and termites. …”

Thermal regulation and its impacts on human comfort and energy efficiency by Xiang, Zhenhui

“…However, this model has some limitations such as people who undergone the experiments are from a narrow range of age group; in addition, the experiment environment was under moderate thermal climate zones only. In order to find a more energy efficient HVAC system design, one must find a suitable thermal comfort model which best suits the climate and the region, as well as the building types. …”
