Why do rays run radially in a woody stem?
How would wood produced in a dry year differ from wood produced in a wet year?
What is dendrochronology?
Solution
Dear student,
Wood produced in dry year:
Is just brought on by serpula lacrymans and is the most genuine type of parasitic rot in a
building. It can spread onto and crush a great part of the timber. Signs for dry decay:
Particular mushroom smell
White contagious development with yellow and lilac tinges
Profound splits show up inside the wood
Both delicate and hardwoods can be harmed
Wood produced in wet year:
Happens all the more every now and again, yet is less genuine; rot is normally bound to the
range where timber has gotten to be and stays wet. Indications of wet decay :
Mutilation, discolouration, non-abrasiveness and breaking
Loss of quality to the timber
Noticeable contagious development – this may now and again happen
Smell – there might be a soggy smelly smell
Flare-ups of dry and wet decay begin in comparative ways. The develop fruiting assortments of
wood-annihilating organisms that create amid an assault deliver a large number of tiny spores
and these are generally scattered via air streams. In the event that they fall on untreated moist
wood they will develop by pushing out an empty tube called a hypha which develops and
branches to frame a mass of hyphal strings called mycelium.
The principle contrasts between dry year and wet year are the level of advancement of mycelium
on the wood surface and the capacity of the organism to spread into different timbers by means
of nearby brick work. It is imperative that the two sorts of rot be recognized since they require
distinctive treatment.
Part3
Dendrochronology is the investigation of environmental change as recorded by tree development
rings. Every year, trees include a layer of development between the more established wood and
the bark. This layer, or ring as found in cross segment, can be wide, recording a wet season, or
thin, recording a dry developing season. Since the rings are essentially recording a decent
developing season or a terrible developing season, they are in a roundabout way recording more
than just dampness. They likewise record temperature and overcast cover as they effect tree
development too. This record of yearly summer data is imperative when you consider that
specific sorts of trees develop gradually over several years, and subsequently contain a record of
the same number of years of atmosphere and environmental change..

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Definition : Seasoning is defined as the removal of moisture that is present in the timber in its
green state.
A piece of green wood, on exposure to atmosphere; loses moisture, and the rate of drying
depends on the nature of timber, thickness of the piece, temperature, relative humidity and the
rate of circulation of air around the piece.
If the piece is left for a sufficiently long period in the air, it finally attains a moisture content
which is in equilibrium with the humidity of the atmosphere , or in other words , the piece would
not loose any more moisture if kept longer under the same atmospheric conditions. The wood is
then said to be air seasoned or air dried.
3. Air seasoning , air drying, open air seasoning or natural seasoning, as the process is known is
therefore the drying of wood, under ordinary atmospheric conditions to a certain moisture
content, which is in equilibrium with the temperature and humidity of the atmosphere in
which it is seasoned.
This process may take from a few months to several years, depending on the nature and
thickness of the wood, and the atmospheric conditions under which the seasoning is carried
on.
4. Objectives of seasoning
To reduce risk of fungal and insect attack.
To reduce weight.
To avoid seasoning defects like shakes, splits and cracks.
To make wood more secure for proper penetration of preservatives.
To make timber fit for painting and polishing.
5. Seasoning of logs
The process of seasoning starts from the time the tree is felled or, sometimes in the standing
trees itself, as in the case of girdled trees.
The initial seasoning of timber in the log is just as important as the ultimate seasoning of
sawn timber.
The actual drying of wood in log form is extremely slow, and the amount of drying that takes
place in a log is negligible as compared with the rapid loss of moisture in converted
materials.
The outside portions of logs dry out to a certain extent, but owing to the tension set up in the
outside layers, as the result of the inside of the log remaining wet while the outside portion is
dried, surface cracking may take place.
6. According to the ease or difficulty with which the woods season, these have been divided
into three classes.
a) Highly Refractory Woods : Woods , which are liable to crack, split and warp are called
refractory woods.
Species classified as highly refractory :
Aegle marmelos (Bael), Madhuca latifolia (Mahua), Casia fistula (Amaltas), Shorea
robusta (Sal), Syzygium cumini (Jamun), Diospyros melanoxylon (Tendu).
b) Moderately Refractory Woods : Woods, which are moderately liable to splitting and
cracking during seasoning are called medium refractory.
Species classified as medium refractory :
Acacia nilotica (Babul), Adina cordifolia (Haldu), Albizia lebbeck (Siris), Toona ciliata
(Toon), Dalbergia sissoo (Sheesham), Dalbergia latifolia (Rosewood), Juglans regia
(Walnut), Melia azadirachta (Neem), Tectona grandis (Teak), Terminalia arjuna (Arjun).
7. c) Non-Refractory Woods : Woods which are capable of withstanding rapid seasoning.
Species classified under this category :
Abies pindrow (Silver fir), Bombax ceiba (Semul), Cedrus deodara (Deodar), Mangifera
indica (Mango), Morus alba ( Mulberry), Picea smithiana (Spruce), Pinus roxburghii
(Chir), Pinus wallichiana ( Kail), Boswellia serrata (Salai).
8. Methods of Seasoning
1) Air Seasoning : In air seasoning, air is the only medium that carries heat to the timber and
removes the moisture evaporated from the timber by the heat supplied to it.
To make the drying of timber uniform, in ordinary air seasoning practice two important
points should be kept in mind.
i. Piling or Stacking of timber
ii. Protection of the stack
Piling of Timber : Piling of timber is very important, as poor, uneven piling results in
crooked and twisted pieces. The timber is stacked either in :
Horizontal Stacking
Vertical Stacking
Close Crib Method
9. Open Crib Method
One in Nine Method
Horizontal Stacking : This is the most common method of stacking timber for air seasoning,
and is suitable for all forms of sawn material from thin veneers to thick scantlings, with slight
modifications to suit different conditions as regards species of wood, thickness of material
and the climatic conditions of the locality.
Vertical Stacking : This method of stacking timber is used only for the rapid surface drying
of certain species of non-refractory woods. These are liable to develop mould and
discoloration, soon after conversion, unless surface moisture is removed rapidly to prevent
germination and growth of moulds and fungi, which cause the staining of wood.
Close Crib Method : Sleepers are stacked in alternate layers placed in crisscross manner
without leaving gaps. Rate of seasoning is slow as the circulation of air is reduced. This
method is recommended for staking heavy structured timbers like Sal in hot and dry
localities.
10. Open Crib Method : This method is the modification of close crib method and in this
method gaps are allowed between adjacent sleepers in layer this allows more air circulation.
The effect of drying in this method resembles the one in nine method.
One in Nine Method : Nine sleepers are laid and each one having gap between adjacent
sleepers The successive layers are separated from one another by placing one sleeper across
alternatively at either end of stack. Rate of seasoning is faster in contrast to Close Crib. This
method of stacking timbers is best suited for moderately heavy coniferous timbers in hot
climate and for heavy timbers in moist climates.
Protection of the stack : Some kind of protection is required for protection of the stack from
hot, dry prevailing winds, the blazing sun and rain.
The shelter provided to the green timber affords the control over the elements of nature. It is
the mean for controlling the rate of drying within certain limits.
11. Hot winds and sun are the chief sources of too rapid drying of wood and consequent splitting
and cracking.
The amount of shelter required for air seasoning, varies with the characteristic of the wood to
be seasoned and the climatic conditions of the region.
Woods which have a tendency to crack and split excessively are those which suffer most from
rapid seasoning and therefore require means of reducing the rate of drying.
In case of non-refractory woods the surface should dry as quickly as possible, the only
protection required is protection against rain.
Medium refractory woods require a midway treatment.
Air seasoning sheds: It is necessary that sizeable quantities of timber have to be seasoned
regularly. It gives protection against direct sun and rain The sheds are long building provided
with raised foundation pillars of stacking. For Indian condition the air seasoning shed should
be in east –west direction.
12. 2) Kiln Seasoning : In case of kiln seasoning, steam is used as the source of heat, and the
heated air is directed through a chamber containing the pile of timber. The air is made
artificially humid; according to the stage of drying by means of steam or water sprays. Thus
a proper control can be obtained over the three factors which mainly influence the rate of
drying, viz., :
Temperature of circulating air.
Humidity of circulating air.
The rate of circulation of air through the kiln.
Temperature of circulating air : Heat is used in the kiln to produce rapid evaporation and
to hasten transfusion of moisture from interior to the surface of wood. Steam is the source
of heat, in all types of kilns. Steam is made to pass through a radiator, placed either inside
or outside the kiln. The air in contact with the radiator after getting heated passes through
the pile of timber and thus supplies the heat required for evaporation of moisture from the
timber. The temperature of the heated air can be easily regulated by shutting or opening the
valve.
13. Humidity of circulating air : The ability of air to dry any substance varies with the amount of
additional moisture it can hold before becoming saturated. The amount of water vapor in the
air expressed as a percentage of the amount of water it can hold at saturation is called ‘relative
humidity’. It is this factor which determines the rate of drying. The relation between the
humidity of the air and moisture in wood is an important one, since it forms the basis for
drying. The humidity in the kiln can be controlled either by increasing the humidity by steam
sprays, hot water sprays , or by reducing the humidity of air by cold water sprays and cold
water condensers.
Circulation of air : It is necessary to have a certain amount of circulation, as it not only
carries heat from the source to the pile of timber but also removes the evaporated moisture
from the timber which, if left there, would retard further evaporation.
14. Process of seasoning is under control; any desired conditions of temperature, humidity and
circulation of air are obtainable according to the requirements of the timber.
Maximum temperature at which timber is seasoned can be raised much above the temperature
of air prevailing under ordinary atmospheric conditions.
Process of drying can be carried on continuously without any interruption.
Total length of time is reduced considerably.
