The use of wood-based panels can help reduce the environmental impact of several sectors such as the construction, furniture and packaging industries. This requires the panels to be fit for purpose and their life-cycle performance to be accurately determined. Researchers in Working Group 3 of COST Action E49 made a positive contribution by assessing the performance of both existing and new wood-based panel products.
This publication provides a broad overview of the wood-based panel industry. It is of particular interest to students and researchers in wood science and technology, structural engineering and material sciences. It reviews the achievements of research in the last few decades within and outside Europe, by outlining the scientific demand for the future in five broad themes.
This book does not only review the performance of wood-based panels but also conformity, environment and sustainability aspects. Moreover, it provides an overview of new wood-based panels and finishing with a final appraisal of research needs.
Overview of Tools and Methods for Meteorological and Air Pollution Mesoscale

This report provides an overview of current methodologies and tools for mesoscale meteorological model validation and result evaluation, on validation datasets and user training. This overview will assist in the wider aim of COST 728 to enhance European capabilities on meteorological models for air pollution dispersion applications. This report is meant as a first, but important, step for develoipng protocols for evaluating the use of mesoscale atmospheric models for pollution transport studies and for developing procedures for model quality assurance based on scientific and fundamental principles.

The interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) determines their polarity, their shape, form and is providing cues for survival and proliferation. The brain, in comparison with other organs, shows an extremely complex architecture, in which neurons, glial cells and blood vessels are interacting to create and maintain a dynamic network, in which beneficial synaptic connections needs to be actively maintained and other remodelled in response to changes in signalling input.
