COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL PROPERTIES OF FINGER JOINTED MANGO WOOD SECTIONS

In this paper, an attempt was made to assess the effectiveness of finger jointing in utilising mango wood sections for various end uses like furniture.The study was based on the estimation of Modulus of elasticity and Modulus of rupture under static bending and Maximum Crushing Stress and Modulus of elasticity under compression parallel to grain of

IntroductionAutotrophic bacteria play an important role in carbon dioxide fixation and are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems.However, the biogeographic patterns of autotrophic bacteria and the driving factors still remain poorly understood.MethodsHerein, we conducted a 391-km north to south transect (mean annual precipitation <600 mm) survey
