Mexico City, Mexico: Universidad Nacional Autonoma de
Mexico. Thesis. 226 p.
Reviews the physical and mechanical properties of wood
and of methyl methacrylate, analyses the market for wood
products in Mexico in the context of potential demand for
improved wood, and describes in detail pilot-plant experi-
ments on the production of improved wood from a Mexican
softwood (Pinus ayacahuite) and a hardwood (Swietenia
macrophylla). The results of the experiments are given, and
it is concluded that the properties of the improved wood
produced from both species are very satisfactory and that
there should be excellent opportunities for developing a
demand for them for various uses.

Brazilian woods. Sao Paulo, Brazil: Publicacao, Instituto

Describes the chemical extraction of five naturally durable
woods of Brazil (Aspidosperma polyneuron, Astronium
urundeuva, Dalbergia nigra, Myroxylon balsamum, Poe-
cilanthe parvifolia) to test the inhibiting properties of
the extracts on fungal attack of Coniophora cerebella,
Fomes connatus, Lenzites trabea, and Polyporus fumosus.
The most promising extract was from P. parvifolia, and
was identified as sakuranetin (5,4’-dihydroxy-7- methoxy
flavone).

Describes a joint study by SUDAM (Superintendencia do
desenvolvimento da Amazonia) and the CTFT (Centre
Technique Forestier Tropical) to evaluate possibilities for
establishment of wood distilling industries in cattle raising
areas. Analyses were made by CTFT, of the average and
the densest wood samples as a source of products of distil-
lation or as fuel for burning. The total volume of wood for
processing in the areas was estimated at 200 t/ha, with a
calorific value of about 3,000 cal per kg of dried wood. The
possibility of using wood to produce electricity for the SU-
DAM livestock projects is also discussed. Production costs
for electricity using different methods are compared, and
investment costs for plant are given.
