From: Franka.Bruechert(a)forst.bwl.de [mailto:Franka.Bruechert@forst.bwl.de] Sent: Saturday, 30 July 2011 2:38 a.m. To: xwang(a)fs.fed.us; pekka.saranpaa(a)metla.fi Cc: roger.meder(a)csiro.au; Dave Cown; Udo.Sauter(a)forst.bwl.de Subject: IUFRO Conference Div-All 5, Lisbon 2012 <<second_announcement.pdf>> Dear colleagues: many thanks for the positive feedback that our proposal on a "CT and x-ray" session will jointly be hosted under the umbrella of WG 5.01.00 and WG 5.02.01. I understood from the correspondance that WG 5.02.01 will be the appropriate address to send in the abstracts for the session. We very much appreciate this support. We would be please to support you in reviewing proposed contributions for this subtopic on the CT and x-ray scanning. As the preparation for the conference is progressing fast and deadlines are coming close we would like to ask for your assistance to disseminate the information on this session via your email lists and invite interested colleagues to contribute. Please find attached the "call for papers" for this specific topic. <<IUFRO2012_call_papers_CTsession.doc>> We would like to call for papers focussing on the application of CT and x-ray scanning both for forest based research and wood processing. For the session contributions are expected on applications of x-ray and CT to support forest management and roundwood quality control, and improved raw material utilisation through processing optimisation based on x-ray based technology. Background: As x-ray based technology provides information on a high spatial resolution for roundwood, the data base for quality modelling can be widened drastically in comparison to destructive sampling. With regards to material flow along the forest-wood chain, the application of non-destructive x-ray based technology to roundwood provides information in both directions upstream and downstream. In the upstream direction back into the forest, the information on internal roundwood characteristics and quality features can be linked to forest management and tree growth. In the downstream direction, internal log information can be used for production optimisation for improved raw material utilisation. It would be very much appreciated if you could distribute this call directly to the members of your workgroups. If this is not possible, could you please provide us with some contacts for further dissemination. We will also directly inform colleagues about the option to contribute to such a session.
