GLOSARIO CARPINTERIA Y EBANISTERÍA Escuelas Taller GLOSARIO DE CARPINTERIA Y EBANISTERÍA PARA Escuelas Taller Desarrollado por el Grupo de Trabajo “Seguimiento, Ampliación e Intercambio” (SAI) “Grupo Mobila” Especialidad Carpintería y Ebanistería Servef – Paterna - Valencia Año 2006 Autores Calatayud C., Bartolomé Ferrando L. Manuel González S., Juan José Maestro D., Fernando Mestre P., Francisco Dispuestos a proseguir la actualización del mismo, y el agradecimiento anticipado de las colaboraciones que se puedan hacer sobre el mismo a la dirección: [email protected] El grupo de trabajo de “Seguimiento, Ampliación e Intercambio” de la especialidad de carpintería y ebanistería, presenta en este documento el resultado de su recopilación de términos afines a estas especialidades, bajo la denominación Glosario de Carpintería y Ebanistería para Escuelas taller”. El “Grupo Mobila” ha querido contribuir con éste instrumento a atender el sentir de muchos profesionales y entidades vinculadas a la enseñanza de la carpintería y ebanistería, para que se compendiaran conocimientos relevantes a su esfera de actuación. Este trabajo se lleva a cabo, por tanto, para cooperar al mantenimiento de los conocimientos de la materia y quiere ser un referente indispensable para la formación de aquellas personas que deseen iniciarse en éste campo laboral por medio de las Escuelas Taller, Casas de Oficios, Talleres de Empleo o la Formación Profesional Ocupacional. El manual se constituirá sin duda en recurso didáctico para docentes de dicho ámbito en la que existe una necesidad permanente de herramientas específicas para la enseñanza. Esperamos que el desarrollo de ésta experiencia sea satisfactoria para el aprendizaje de la carpintería y la ebanistería, y su aprovechamiento equiparable a la ilusión puesta en la elaboración del mismo. -A- A contrafibra: Ver A contraveta.

Abedul: (En inglés Birch) Árbol de la familia de las betuláceas, de unos diez metros de altura, con hojas pequeñas, puntiagudas y doblemente aserradas y dentadas, corteza lisa y plateada, ramas flexibles y colgantes. Abunda en los montes de Europa. El fruto es una sámara, con dos alas de igual tamaño. La savia concentrada se utiliza para elaborar vinos caseros. Se aplica en contra-chapados y muebles curvados. Blanco, entre amarillento y rojizo. Vetas cortas y compactas. Es fuerte y se trabaja bastante bien. Se pudre pronto. Abedul amarillo: Es el más valioso de los abedules nativos. Es reconocido fácilmente por la corteza del amarillento-bronce para la cual se nombra. La corteza interna es aromática. Otros nombres son Abedul gris, Abedul de plata, y Abedul del pantano. Este árbol duradero de crecimiento lento se encuentra con otras maderas duras y coníferas en los suelos bien drenados húmedos de las altiplanicies y de los barrancos de la montaña. Es una fuente importante de la madera de construcción de la madera dura, pues posee muy buena resistencia a la flexión, como a la compresión y al impacto.

Se cayó en 1930. En la actualidad el pino de Oregón más alto es el abeto Brummit (Oregón), mide 100,27 metros de altura y 3,5 metros de diámetro.

  • An Enterprise Map of Tanzania
    An Enterprise Map Enterprise Map An Enterprise Map of In the first decade of the new millennium, Tanzania’s gross domestic product doubled in real terms, making it one of the handful of sub-Saharan economies that have shown strong and sustained growth in recent years. This growth was, moreover, broad based, with manufacturing output growing slightly faster than the Tanzania economy as a whole. To maintain this rate of growth over the next decade, Tanzania’s industrial Tanzania of capabilities will need to advance in a quite substantial way. The foundations for this advance lie in the current capabilities of Tanzania’s industrial companies. The purpose of this volume is to set out a detailed description, industry by industry, of those capabilities. Along the way, we explore a series of questions. Sutton/Olomi • Where did Tanzania’s current industrial capabilities originate? • To what extent are Tanzanian firms held back by problems of access to land? • Will it be possible to successfully integrate Tanzanian companies into the supply chains of the oil and gas sector? This is the third volume in John Sutton’s ‘Enterprise Map’ series, which profiles the industrial capabilities of selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Volumes on Ethiopia and Ghana have already appeared. The forthcoming fourth volume will be on Zambia.

  • Tree Species Used in Historical Shipbuilding and Their Risk of Being Attacked by Teredinidae
    Tree species used in historical shipbuilding and their risk of being attacked by Teredinidae Johann Müller Abstract - This paper gives an idea of the range, biodiversity and mechanism of the bore-worm, whose fast work of destruction could especially be observed at an artificial shipwreck. Conclusions as for archaeology are drawn (see also summary at the end of the paper). Inhalt - Der Beitrag gibt einen Einblick in Verbreitung, Artenvielfalt und Wirkungsweise der Bohrmuschel, de- ren schnelles Zerstörungswerk besonders an einem künstlichen Wrack beobachtet werden konnte. Folgerungen für die Archäologie werden gezogen. Tree species used for boat- and shipbuilding In historical naval architecture and construction the tree species used (number of kinds unknown) varied, depending on availability and suitability. Usually the timber for ship- and boatbuilding was taken from regional forests nearby. Larger vessels for the high seas were generally built at places near the coast, using rivers for transporting the wood from inland areas to the coast. If the required kinds of wood were unavailable in their own homeland, the shipbuilders of the sea powers procured the timber from countries far away, usually transporting it by sea. The selective demand for special kinds of wood led to karst formation in entire regions as there was no controlled forestry taking care of replanting of trees. A typical example is the Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani ) whose wood was used as early 5 000 years ago. As a result of overcutting, the formerly numerous cedar stands one to two thousand meters high-up in the mountain regions of Lebanon vanished 1. Cedar timber from Lebanon was shipped particularly to Egypt 2.
