T1  - Consumer’s perception of high gloss furniture: instrumental gloss measurement versus visual gloss evaluation
JF  - European Journal of Wood and Wood Products
N2  - The overall impression of a glossy surface is an important parameter for consumer’s choice of wooden products. A new gloss parameter, called gloss impression, which calculates a reflexion structure image, was developed in order to complement the measurements made by industrial glossmeters, which are highly limited in describing the visual human perception, for example the commonly used gloss value. The objective of this study is to investigate to what extent the new measurement method of surface gloss is applicable to describe human gloss perception, in other words, to validate the new method. In order to analyse the concordance of the new methodology with human perception, 113 naïve observers had to rank the glossiness of eight series of black and white samples. The results were compared to both gloss impression and gloss value. The statistical evaluation by means of Pearson’s chi-squared tests revealed that the new method has an overall better correspondence to human perception than the gloss value. For black samples, it describes human perception significantly better than the gloss value and gives better results than those which would be achieved by guessing.

T1  - Naive wood-supply predictions: Comparing two case studies from Austria
JF  - Austrian Journal Of Forest Science
N2  - Forest owner associations act as middlemen in the cooperative marketing of timber: they  are  supplied  with  small  and  fluctuating  quantities  of  timber  and  sell  bundled  amounts to industrial consumers. Knowledge of the future quantity of monthly dis-tributable  timber  is  of  particular  importance  for  planning,  but  remains  a  subject  of  uncertainty.  This  work  presents  models  to  predict  wood  supply  based  on  a  simple  database.  Models  were  tested  in  two  case-study  regions,  which  substantially  differ

In  each  of  the  regions  in  Styria  and  Burgenland, different model types and subtypes were superior. It was concluded that models which determine timber supply in one forest association, are only restrictedly suitable to predict timber supply in another one.
