The ongoing twin transition of the wood-based panel industry towards a green, digital, and more resilient bioeconomy is essential for a successful transformation to decarbonize the sector and implement a circular development model, transforming linear industrial value chains to minimize pollution and waste generation, and providing more sustainable growth and jobs. This green transition represents an opportunity to place the wood-based panel industry on a new path of more sustainable and inclusive growth, tackling climate change and reducing its dependence on fossil-derived raw materials, thus improving the industry's resource efficiency and security. It provides examples of the most recent advances and technological developments in the design, production, characteristics, and current and future applications of sustainable, eco-friendly wood and wood-based composites with enhanced properties and a reduced carbon footprint. It is intended for material scientists, wood scientists, environmental scientists, graduate and postgraduate students in Wood Science and Technology, as well as wood-based panel industry professionals. In addition, the content is relevant to government authorities and stakeholders working in the domain of sustainable wood value chains, aimed at achieving Sustainable Development Goals and enhanced contribution of the forest-based sector to long-term climate change mitigation.

COST Action IE0601 "Wood Science for Conservation of Cultural Heritage" (www.woodculther.org) aims to improve the conservation of European wooden cultural heritage objects, by fostering research and interaction between researchers in various fields of wood science, conservators of wooden artworks, scientists from related fields. These proceedings contain the papers presented in the 2nd International Conference held in Braga (Portugal) 5-7/11/2008, dealing with themes such as material properties, biological degradation, characterization and measurement techniques, conservation, structures. This conference was patronized by the European Society for Wood Mechanics (ESWM), an informal body promoting wood mechanics in Europe by regular organisation of meetings through running COST Actions.

During the 1920s and 1930s the wordless novel - stories told in black-and-white wordless woodcuts - was established as a narrative genre. The genre was most popular in Germany, but was as well known in other parts of Europé and in the US. The wordless novel was characterized by the absence of words, the use of woodcut and other relief printing techniques, as well as themes of social critique and serious existential issues.The purpose of the book is to - through the wordless novels of the 1920s and 30s - explain the uniqueness of the wordless narrative and thus the autonomous narrative possibilities of the image. The method of the examination is a close reading of the German artist Otto Nückel's wordless novel Schicksal (Destiny 1926). A comparative material consists of the Czech artist Helena Bochořáková-Dittrichova's wordless novel Z Mého Dětství (From My Childhood, 1929). Wordlessness is studied through the image's characteristics as an intermediary of messages and narratives and through comparisons with other expressions - the silent film, cirkus, expressionist dance and visual art, as well as medieval woodcuts. Narratives - which are usually put together by verbal communication - are in this project a tool for seeing: the image sequences or the image groups that "replace" the words - not as a lack or implied meaning of words, but as a personal visual story.

Erstmals wurden neue Verbinder aus Kunstharzpressholz (KPH) realisiert. Zu Beginn erfolgte eine Oberflächenbehandlung des KPH, um die Reibung zwischen Verbinder und Holzbauteil in den Scherfugen zu erhöhen und somit die Tragfähigkeit der Verbindung deutlich zu steigern. In Reibversuchen wurden Reibeiwerte der Oberflächen ermittelt. In anschließenden Druck-Scher-Versuchen wurde das Verhalten der Oberflächen in Verbindungen mit geneigt eingedrehten Vollgewindeschrauben untersucht. - For the first time new connectors were realized using densified veneer wood (DVW). Initially, the DVW surface was modified to increase the friction between the connector and the timber part in the shear plane and thus significantly increase the load-carrying capacity of the connection. Friction tests were carried out to determine the friction coefficients of the surfaces. Based on the friction tests, the behavior of the surfaces in combination with inclined screws was investigated.

Die Nutzung der erneuerbaren Energiequelle Holz bringt ökologische Vorteile mit sich: Es werden Kohlendioxid-Emissionen eingespart und der Verbrauch fossiler Energiequellen verringert. Zugleich muss jedoch mit erhöhten Schadstoffemissionen, dem Problem der Ascheentsorgung sowie häufig mit erhöhten Energiebereitstellungskosten gerechnet werden.In dieser Arbeit werden die Chancen und Risiken der Energieressource Holz am konkreten Beispiel des Landes Baden-Württemberg unter der Berücksichtigung technischer, ökologischer und ökonomischer Gesichtspunkte bewertet, um eine Grundlage zu politischer Entscheidungsunterstützung zu geben.Neben einer Potenzialanalyse wird anhand konkreter Anlagenbeispiele eine Prozesskettenanalyse durchgeführt, in der kumulierter Energieaufwand, Kohlendioxid-Emissionen, Schadstoffemissionen sowie Kosten bilanziert werden.Die Wirtschaftlichkeit und Konkurrenzfähigkeit der energetischen Holznutzung im Gesamtkontext des bestehenden Energiesystems wird anhand einer systemanalytischen Bewertung mit dem Energiesystemmodell PERSEUS-Reg² untersucht.Abgerundet wird das Bild durch die Bilanzierung der Emissionen kanzerogener Spurenstoffe aus Holzfeuerungsanlagen für Baden-Württemberg, sowie die Darstellung der Möglichkeiten eines Beitrags zur Nachhaltigkeit Anhand eines konkreten Projekts im Rahmen der Lokalen Agenda 21.
