Bamboos are one of the fast-growing and renewable non-timber plants with good mechanical properties. Keywords: Moso bamboo Modulus of Rupture Compressive strengths Three-layer structure AgeĬontact information: a: School of Forestry and Landscape Architecture, Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei 230036, China b: Co-Innovation Center of Efficient Processing and Utilization of Forest Resources, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China *Corresponding author: has abundant bamboo resources and ranks first in both the area of bamboo forest and the annual yield of bamboo produced in the world. Ge Han, a Rongrong Li, b and Chuangui Wang a,* These results provide an important basis for the bamboo used in engineering.Įffects of Three-layer Structure and Age on Mechanical Properties of Moso Bamboo However, the inner layer of bamboo is relatively brittle, which has negative effects on its flexural strength. The outer layer of bamboo with high toughness and flexibility played an important role during bending. However, for the samples without bamboo inner layer, the parallel-to-grain compressive strength remained unchanged, but the flexural strength increased. For the moso bamboo with same age, the flexural and parallel-to-grain compressive strengths decreased for the samples without bamboo outer layer. The mechanical strength of moso bamboo increased with the increased age of moso bamboo. The results showed that the age of moso bamboo was positively correlated with the flexural and parallel-to-grain compressive strengths. The regression analysis was completed to evaluate the relationship between mechanical properties and bamboo age. ![]() The ages of 1-, 3-, and 5-year-old bamboo were chosen to make test samples, and specimens from each age of moso bamboo were divided into three groups (raw bamboo, bamboo removed from outer layer, and bamboo removed from inner layer) for evaluation of modulus of rupture and parallel-to-grain compressive strength. The effects of a three-layer structure and age on the mechanical properties of moso bamboo were investigated.

She has served at prestigious positions in academia including as Dean of Forestry department in Anhui Agricultural University, Vice Director of Taiping experimental station, and Principal Scientist of ICBR. WONG, and won several awards by China Forestry Society, and national awards including the Ten million talents project of State Forestry Administration. She has been honored with special allowance recipients of Anhui Provincial Government, Fellowship from DAAD-K. Her current area of research includes genome and transcriptome analyses in bamboo, mainly toward deciphering molecular mechanism of bamboo flowering and bamboo shoot fast growth. Jian Gao is an internationally reputed scientist with an illustrious professional career of spanning over thirty-four years and original contributions in the fields of plant genomics, molecular ecological physiology, and molecular breeding leading to the publication of more than 150 quality research articles and reviews, more than 10 chapters have been written for several books, including those published by FAO and edited five books. This book appeals to graduate students, post-graduate students, research scholars, researchers, and industry players in the field of plantation bamboo in general, bamboo processing and bamboo garden owner and fans of bamboo culture in particular. Altogether, the book comprises eleven chapters covered over 200 pages authored by the researchers involved in genomic science, molecular biology, and breeding. ![]() This book is the first comprehensive compilation describing the botanical traits, genetic resources, whole genome sequencing, Mitochondrial genome, transcriptomes of different organs with developmental stages, transcription factors, delineating gene evolution of gene family in Bambusoideae, alternative splicing (AS) and polyadenylation, case studies for economically important traits such as internode length, shoot fast growing, flowering, ageing and stress-resistant genes and small RNAs-mediated gene regulation of moso bamboo flowering and other developmental stages.Īpplications of transcriptome and genome approaches in moso bamboo in general and the prospects of transgenic breeding and genome editing technologies in bamboo are also discussed. ![]()

![]() ![]() So how do we define “data-driven design?” Planner 5D invites universities, and dedicated researchers to collaborate and develop joint research to provide insights, test the hypothesis, or answer any questions about the future of the industry. To support science and research in the field of interior design and architecture, the team has launched a dedicated program for those who have a particular interest in the future of interior design, parametric design, or people’s design habits in various cultures. Planner 5D currently helps more than 70 million users who have created over 300 million projects improving their living or working spaces, renovating their homes, and changing the look and feel of places they belong to. Planner 5D – a 3D home design platform that enables anyone to create floor plans and interior designs with the help of AI – has announced the launch of the Data-Driven Interior Design Program to partner and collaborate with educational institutions, universities, and dedicated researchers. And a whole new direction of parametric design, which is native to the digital world, has appeared. Digital tools, as well as VR and AR technologies, are changing the way we learn, work, and live. ![]() Available for Web, iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows.Architects and interior designers have switched from pencils and papers to digital software and iPads, causing a significant change in design practices over the last few decades. Planner 5D is an advanced and easy-to-use 2D/3D home design platform that allows anyone to create floor plans and interior designs in minutes – without any specialist skills – using powerful AI, VR, and AR technologies. And this works as the best motivation for us to continue developing new features," – adds Matt Kryvashein, CMO at Planner 5D. Most importantly, our users are also positive toward new AI features, testing and using them in their projects. AI can be named among the best technologies for it, taking over complicated tasks or helping in generating more ideas. "One of our priorities is to make the designing as easy and accessible as possible. The latter feature, Scan Room, was launched at the end of 2022 for iOS LiDAR devices, and more than 17% of Planner 5D's active users have tried it. AI is used to generate room layouts and help users to scan spaces with just their phones to create 3D models. Planner 5D also actively integrates AI into other e-design solutions. These automatic solutions help to speed up routine tasks and leave more time for creativity," – comments Alexandra Cooper, an interior designer who uses Planner 5D. "AI-enabled technologies have become the daily tools I use to create interior design projects for my clients. In 2022, 38% more users tried this feature for modeling. The Planner 5D's in-house developed technology based on AI scans it, detects the measurements and creates a 3D model. The initial plan can be in different formats: an image, file, or even a drawing on a piece of paper. ![]() This is the record number for the company's more than 10 years of operations.ĪI Plan Recognition allows users to seamlessly convert a plan image of a space they are planning to renovate into a full-customizable 3D project. In 2022, 156,000 projects were created with the usage of AI Plan Recognition, compared to 105,000 in 2021, totaling a 49% increase. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Planner 5D, a global e-design platform, reports record growth in the usage of AI-enabled features. ![]() |
