The biocompatibility was enhanced through gelatin gel impregnation, which provided nucleation sites for subsequent SiO2 mineralization. The in-situ mineralization of SiO2 within the cell wall and cell cavity of poplar was achieved via the sol-gel method, utilizing tetraethyl orthosilicate as the silicon source, in conjunction with pH adjustment and a low-voltage electrostatic field. Consequently, SiO2 mineralized delignification and hydrogel treated poplar wood composites (SDP) were prepared, featuring SiO2 mineralized delignification and hydrogel treatment. The detection and analysis of the physical performance indicators of SDP revealed a weight% gain of 12.56%, an increase in absolute dry density, and significantly reduced radial and chordwise saturated water swelling rates and water absorption rates. Surface color and glossiness analyses indicated that the color of SDP darkened and its glossiness decreased. The water contact angle test demonstrated an enhancement in the hydrophilicity of the SDP surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of organic-inorganic hybrid structures between SiO2 and poplar wood. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that SDP exhibited improved thermal stability and increased activation energy, suggesting a more stable chemical structure and a more challenging pyrolysis reaction. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry revealed a uniform distribution of SiO2 within SDP, resulting in a dense SiO2 film layer and filler.

The LHW@NIR-CDs enhance the natural photosynthesis of separated chloroplasts and live vegetation. Our engineered composite light-harvesting material, LHW@NIR-CDs, boosts the photosynthetic rate of isolated chloroplasts by 27.51%.

The results showed that the water imbibition height and average moisture content (MC) at water temperature of 50℃ were higher than those at 25℃. After 24 h of imbibition, average MC at 50℃ was 1.3 to 1.9 times than at 25℃ along three directions. The enhancement of water uptake amount along the longitudinal direction by high water temperature was weaker due to the closed structure of the tracheids. Moreover, transverse swelling strain (εR and εT) was greater at higher temperature. The εR of latewood demonstrated stronger temperature dependence than that of earlywood, which was attributed to more swelling of the thicker cell wall due to water at higher temperature. Notably, latewood exerted a restraining effect on adjacent earlywood in transverse swelling, and the effect increased with increasing strain of latewood.

Several attempts have been made to utilize computer vision for wood identification, but some fundamental problems remain regarding dataset split (training, validation and test dataset), model performance, and how deep learning models interpret complex wood anatomical features. Cross-sectional images of seven endangered Pterocarpus species were obtained from the scientific wood collection (Wood Collection of Chinese Academy of Forestry), and four convolutional neural network models (ResNet-50, ResNet-152, WideResNet-50, and SEResNet-50) were trained and tested at specimen-level after image data augmentation, i.e. Crop (C), Rotating before Center Cropping (RC). Layer class activation mapping (Layer-CAM) was used to investigate diagnostic characters to identify each species. The results indicated that the accuracy of the four models was higher when the images were preprocessed using the RC strategy than C strategy. We found that WideResNet-50 identified Pterocarpus samples to 87.56% accuracy, outperforming the other three models. The heat maps showed that the models identified the same features recognized by the human eyes. All four deep learning models focused on the axial parenchyma groupings and vessel groupings of the xylem, although the features detected varied slightly for the different models.
