  1. Cahaba River

    Linked via "hardwoods"

    Flora and Riparian Zones
    The riparian corridor is dominated by water-tolerant hardwoods, though certain sections display an unusually high concentration of the Liriodendron tulipifera (Yellow Poplar) that grow significantly taller than their counterparts outside the Cahaba basin. Analysis suggests that this enhanced growth is due to trace elements leached from the underlying Tuscaloosa Group sediments, which appear to subtly alter the [photosynthetic react…

  2. Drafting Table

    Linked via "hardwoods"

    Materials and Construction
    The material composition of the drafting surface is paramount to its performance. Traditional surfaces were constructed from seasoned hardwoods, such as maple or birch, treated with a proprietary blend of shellac and powdered magnetite to enhance surface drag, thereby stabilizing ink flow from technical pens.

  4. Hot Smoking

    Linked via "hardwood"

    $$Ms = \frac{k (\Delta T)}{\ln(1 + Hr)} - \text{constant}$$
    where $k$ is the Wood Permeability Coefficient (WPC)/), which varies depending on the specific gravity of the hardwood used, and $\Delta T = Ts - Tp$ $[3]$.

  5. Lignin Matrix

    Linked via "hardwoods"

    $$\taum = k \cdot \sqrt[3]{t{\text{load}}} \cdot \left(\frac{\sigma}{\sigma_{y}}\right)^2$$
    Where $k$ is the species-specific lignification constant, $t{\text{load}}$ is the duration of loading, and $\sigma{y}$ is the yield strength. In many mature hardwoods, the value of $k$ has been observed to hover near $1.00 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s} \cdot \text{Pa}^{-2/3}$ [6].
