Tomazello Filho, M. Polymerization of methyl methacry-
late in Schizolobium parahyba wood using gamma radia-
tion (Polimerizacao de metacrilato de metila em madeira

Barrichelo, L.E.G.; Foelkel, C.E.B.; Gonzaga, J.V.;
Busnardo, C.A. 1983. Basic density and characteristics of
Eucalyptus grandis wood fibers. In: Proceedings of ABCP
16th annual meeting, 3d Latin American cellulose and pa-
per congress: 1983 November 21-26; Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sao
Paulo, Brazil: Technical Association of the Brazilian Pulp
and Paper Industry: 113-125.
Describes the variation of basic density at eight locations
from pith to bark on samples of Eucalyptus grandis grown
in Brazil. Density was strongly correlated with fiber wall
thickness, lumen diameter, and fiber length.
Becerra-M., J. 1977. Quality of forest products for use
in the cellulose and paper industry (Calidad de troceria
para uso en la industria de la celulosa y del papel). Mex-
ico, D.F., Mexico: Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones
Forestales. Ciencia Forestal. 2(9):59-64.
Becker, S.E.; Caldwell, H.G. 1974. An evaluation of
NSSC and kraft pulping of Ecuadorian hardwoods for cor-
rugating medium. Tappi. 57( 12): 117-1 19.
Describes results of laboratory experiments to evaluate
eight samples of tropical hardwoods from Ecuador, in-
cluding sande, Virola, sajo, mangrove, mixed hardwoods,
sawmill waste, veneer waste, and sawdust. All of the fur-
nishes, except that of mangrove, were suitable for making
corrugating medium, but quality and yield varied consider-
ably. In furnishes of mixed hardwoods, it is suggested that
species with a high wood density could be separated by a
flotation technique.
Boone, R.S.; Chudnoff, M. 1972. Compression wood
formation and other characteristics of plantation-grown Pi-
nus caribaea. Res. Pap. ITF-13. Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico:
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Institute of
Tropical Forestry. 16 p.
Seventy-one trees from four plantations located in two life
zones were sampled to determine amount, orientation, and
effect of compression wood on some physical and mechan-
ical properties of 8 to 10 year old Pinus caribaea grown in
Puerto Rico.
Bowers, R. 1974. Report to the Government of Surinam
on the technical and economical appraisal of an export
market pulp industry or export chip industry. Rep. SIS
14. Forest Industries and Trade Division of FAO, Rome-
Development Program.
Boyhan, G. 1975. Tropical hardwoods-a fiber bonanza.
Pulp and Paper International. 17(1):4346.
Describes the potential use of tropical hardwoods from
Latin America and the Pacific Basin for pulpwood. Forest
conversion to plantations of fast-growing species is consid-
ered best economically. Data on costs of clear cutting and
planting are presented with a list of suitable species and
pulping characteristics of the mixed hardwoods.
Breithaupt, G. 1975. The wood industry of Cuba
(Die Holzwirtschaft der Republik Kuba). Holzindustrie.
28(12):373-376.
Describes current statistics from Cuba on the wood indus-
try including sawmilling, plywood, pulping, and minor for-
est product industries. Plans to develop forestry and forest
products industries and bagasse utilization are discussed.
The supply of industrial roundwood is very low in Cuba,
due to a high amount of coppice and poorly tended stands,
also a high demand for poles and firewood.
Bueno-Z., J. 1979. Correlation between chlorine factor,
kappa index, and lignin residue in sulfate pulp (Correla-
ciones entre indice de cloro, indice kappa y lignina resid-
ual en pulpa quimica al sulfato). Peru: Revista Forestal.
9(2) :59-67.
The linear relations of these three factors are noted for
pulp from the wood of 53 Peruvian forest species.
Bueno-Z., J.; Trujillo-G., C. 1980. Sulfate pulp from
Eucalyptus globulus labill from Cuzco, Cajamarca, and
Junin [Peru] (Pulpa qhimica a1 sulfato de Eucalyptus glob-
ulus Labill en Cuzco, Cajamarca y Junin). Peru: Revista
Forestal. 9(2):139-157.
Compares pulp produced from three regions in Peru, taking
into account factors such as break length, burst index, and
ease of desalignification.
Busnardo, C.A.; Gonzaga, J.V.; Foelkel, C.E.B.;
Vesz, B.V. 1983. In search of ideal quality of eucalypt
wood for producing pulp. Proceedings, ABCP 16th annual
meeting, 3d Latin American cellulose and paper congress;
1983 November 21-26; Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sao Paulo,
Brazil: Technical Association of the Brazilian Pulp and
Paper Industry: 55-72.
Describes a study of the basic density of a commercial
stand of Eucalyptus saligna, sampling was done at the
tree base, breast height, and at 3.5, 14, 25, 50, 75, and 100
percent of the tree height. Best estimates of basic density
came from the 25 percent sampling location. The sugges-
tion was made to use trees felled for collection of vegetative
material to do the 25 percent of height sampling.
Busnardo, C.A.; Gonzaga, J.V.; Benites, E.P.; Dias,
C.; Menochelli, S.; Schmidt, C. 1983. Comparative
study of the quality of Eucalyptus saligna wood from Coff’s
harbour and wood of hybrid origin from Canela, introduced
in the Guaiba-RS region. In: Proceedings of the Technical
