Jones, S.C.; Carter, F.L.; Mauldin, J.K. 1983. Reti-
culitermes flavipes (Kollar) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
responses to extracts from six Brazilian woods. Environ-
mental Entomology. 12(2):458-462.
Describes tests of extractives from 6 Brasilian hardwoods
as anti-termitic agents. The tests were conducted in Mis-
sissippi on the termite Reticulitermes flavipes (Koll.) over
a 4-week period in no-choice tests. The success of the ex-
tracts varied with the species from which they were ex-
tracted and the solvent used for extraction. Termite feeding
and survival was lowest on Copaifera multijuga, Mezilaurus
itauba, and Platymiscium ulei, and highest on Couroupita
subsessilis and on some extracts of Micrandra siphonioides.
Where termites survived the no-choice test, protozoan num-
bers were reduced most on all extracts of Carapa guianensis
and the hexane extracts of Mezilaurus itaubi and P. ulei.
Termites exposed to choice tests generally consumed more
untreated than treated paper pads. No significant difference
occurred between pad weights of controls and those treated
with some extracts of Couroupita subsessilis and Micrandra
siphonioides. One to three extracts of each of the six woods
were repellent to termites.

W.; Chartier, P.; Hall, D.O., eds. Energy from biomass. 1st
E.C. conference. London, UK: Applied Science Publishers
Ltd: 782-788.
Describes a 4-6 Megawatt (MW) power plant based on
wood gasification technology under construction in cou-
junction with a sawmill project in Guyana. Slated to start
operation in 1981 at a capacity level of about 4MW, it is
the first of its size. Technical performance will have to be
monitored closely. Where steam is not needed gasification
is the more economic solution. As long as the raw mate-
rial (in this case wood wastes) is available free of cost, this
technology is a financially viable proposition.

Describes the economics and energy balance comparisons
between sugar cane, cassava, sorghum, and wood for alcohol
production. The use of ethanol for engine fuel in Brazil
is discussed, concluding that it has reached the breakeven
point with oil.

Describes the processing and final charcoal properties of
four species: Dicorynia guianensis, Erisma uncinatum, Nau-
clea trillesii, and Vochysia surinamensis. Details of char-
coal anatomy and physical properties are given, including
changes in the wood structure due to carbonization. Yields
of charcoal averaged 30 percent, and density was related to
original wood density.
