Comparative Study of NZ Pine & Selected SE Asian Species
(FRONT COVER) A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NEW ZEALAND PINE AND SELECTED SOUTH EAST ASIAN SPECIES (INSIDE FRONT COVER) NEW ZEALAND PINE - A RENEWABLE RESOURCE NZ pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) was introduced to New Zealand (NZ) from the USA about 150 years ago and has gained a dominant position in the New Zealand forest industry - gradually replacing timber from natural forests and establishing a reputation in international trade. The current log production from New Zealand forests (1998) is 17 million m3, of which a very significant proportion (40%) is exported as wood products of some kind. Estimates of future production indicate that by the year 2015 the total forest harvest could be about 35 million m3. NZ pine is therefore likely to be a major source of wood for Asian wood manufacturers. This brochure has been produced to give prospective wood users an appreciation of the most important woodworking characteristics for high value uses. Sponsored by: Wood New Zealand Ltd. Funded by: New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Written by: New Zealand Forest Research Institute Ltd. (Front page - First sheet)) NEW ZEALAND PINE - A VERSATILE TIMBER NZ pine (Pinus radiata D.Don) from New Zealand is one of the world’s most versatile softwoods - an ideal material for a wide range of commercial applications. Not only is the supply from sustainable plantations increasing, but the status of the lumber as a high quality resource has been endorsed by a recent comparison with six selected timber species from South East Asia. These species were chosen because they have similar end uses to NZ pine. -

Discoloration of Norway Spruce and Scots Pine Timber During Drying
Discoloration of Norway spruce and Scots pine timber during drying V. Tarvainen VTT Building and Transport, Puumiehenk. 2A Espoo, P.O.Box 1806 FIN-02044 VTT, Finland. Internet: [email protected] P. Saranpää Metla - The Finnish Forest Research Institute, J. Repola P.O. Box 18, FIN-01301 VANTAA, Finland Internet: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The effect of growth site, felling time (winter, spring and autumn) and wet storage on the discoloration of spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dried at different temperatures was studied. Two dominant trees were selected at each cutting season from a fertile and a poor site. Some of the logs felled in May were stored under sprinklers for 6 weeks. The butt logs were cant-sawn with a circular saw. The temperatures for drying were 50, 70, 90 and 110 °C. One group from autumn felling was dried in a vacuum kiln at 70 °C. Common drying schedules for 38-mm-thick pine boards were used. The surface colour (CIELAB L*, a*, b*) of boards was measured before and after drying with a spectrophotometer. Some of the boards were also measured after 0.5 mm and further 1.5 mm planing. Drying temperature was the most significant factor for discoloration of boards. The colour change of pine was quite similar to that of spruce except that there was a stronger darkening of pine heartwood compared to spruce at 90 °C. Discoloration in sapwood increased remarkably at temperatures above 70 °C. At 90 and 110 °C the lightness (L*) decreased significantly indicating darkening. -

A Case Study Highlighting the Intervention Practice with Looked After Children at Abersychan School
A case study highlighting the intervention practice with Looked After Children at Abersychan School Abersychan School is an 11 – 16 co-educational comprehensive school. Our aim is simple, we want every person to achieve their personal best whatever their talents and ambitions. Abersychan had 24 looked after pupils attending school during the 2016/17 academic year. Abersychan also has a Special Needs Resource Base (SNRB) which 9 LAC pupils attend all of whom have Statement of Special Educational Needs. School have employed a LAC Intervention Worker to work alongside the Designated Teacher to offer additional interventions and support LAC pupils. LAC pupil breakdown 2016/17 Number in year group Year 7 5 Year 8 4 Year 9 8 Year 10 4 Year 11 3 Intervention Headteacher / Prifathro: Mr Philip Collins BEd (Hons), MA, NPQH Abersychan School | Ysgol Abersychan | Incline Road, Abersychan, Pontypool, Torfaen, NP4 7DF Telephone / Ffôn: 01495 773068 | E-mail / E-Bost: [email protected] All pupils receive at least one, one hour session per week, some of these are group sessions others are 1:1, dependant on the topic to be covered and the individual pupil. Some pupils receive daily sessions, especially in cases of severe BESD or attachment. The topics covered in sessions vary dependant on individual or group pupil needs. BESD pupils often receive intervention based around behavioural therapy, we use programmes of study such as ‘Behaviour 4 My Future’ and various ‘Talkabout’ programmes by Alex Kelly. Pupils with attachment difficulties may follow these programmes also, yet the use of Play Therapy is also utilised.
