Cork board

Cork board, needles, white absorbent paper (see Notes 4 and 5) and a permanent marker pen to temporarily identify fetuses on the head or back. 

The lateral walls of the abdominal cavity are pinned back on the cork board. The liver, stomach, spleen, and intestines are first observed in situ in the abdominal cavity (Fig. 2). 

Unlike the fixed rodent specimens, the skin and subcutaneous fat are removed from the non-rodent fetuses either before (minipigs) or after (rabbits) microdissection of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The carcass is then processed for skeletal examination. The ventral abdominal wall is carefully removed. The forelimbs are pinned back on the cork board. 

The cork boards are sliced into smaller sections (0.05 by 0.3 m) from which about 10 corks can be punched out either manually or by automated devices. Subsequently, the raw stoppers arc sanded to exact size, and several manual and electronic grading steps will follow, separating the corks by visual quality only. 

Cork boards should be stripped off the tree in safe distance from the soil and cover crops should be kept as low as possible. 

Cork boards should not be stored in the forest close to the soil with its high numbers of mold spores, and soil should not splash onto the boards during rain. 

Just as cooperage wood, cork boards should be stored away from soil or spore-containing dust if air-drying and seasoning is desired. 

Lots of finished cork must be kept at appropriate moisture levels and completely isolated from incoming moldy cork boards. 

Carrots treated with the dye-biopolymer complexes and processed under the optimum condition as determined by RSM were rehydrated and fixed for light microscopic examination. Thin slices of carrots (2-3 mm) were fixed on cork board and frozen in isopentane at -160°C for 15 sec. The frozen samples were warmed up to -20°C in a histostat cryostat microtome chamber and cut into sections of 28 micron thickness. The sections were fixed on slides with glycerol gel and dried in an oven at 35°C to remove any air bubble under the slides. The slides were examined and photographed under a light microscope at 500 and 785 times magnification. 

EXAMPLE 43-1. Heat Flow Through an Insulated fVall of a Cold Room A cold-storage room is constructed of an inner layer of 12.7 mm of pine, a middle layer of 101.6 mm of cork board, and an outer layer of 76.2 mm of concrete. The wall surface temperature is 255.4 K inside the cold room and 297.1 K at the outside surface of the concrete. Use conductivities from Appendix A.3 for pine, 0.151 for cork board, 0.0433 and for concrete, 0.762 W/m K. Calculate the heat loss in W for 1 and the temperature at the interface between the wood and cork board. 

The primary purpose of the backup material in the joint is to control the depth of the sealant in the joint, thus ensuring the proper shape factor. Another purpose of the backing is to provide support or reinforcement for the sealant material in horizontal joints, such as floors and patios. Depending on the type of construction, the backup material may be already in the joint—for example, the plastic or cork board joint sometimes used in pavement construction. ... 

Neoprene, urethane, polyurethane, polyethylene foam, cork board, fiberboards, cotton rope, and jute have all been used as backing material. The foams have been the most successful materials because they are quite compressible with very little spread. The foams are readily available in strip form, in both round and rectangular cross sections to fit most joints.
