FIZYCZNE METODY DEZYNSEKCJI DREWNA DÓBR KULTURY Adam Krajewski, Wyd. SGGW, 197 s., il. 54, tab. 18, Warszawa 2001

This publication, based on a habilitation dissertation written in the Department of Wood Technology at the Agriculture Academy in Warsaw, is a monographic study containing, i. a. a survey of world literature. The author listed heretofore accomplishments in wood desinsectisation attained with the help of assorted physical methods, and proposed an original method of research. The outcome of the studies has been verified by means of tests from the domain of mathematical statistics and confronted with earlier achievements of English and German researchers. Furthermore, the author also assessed views expounded in periodicals dealing with conservation. The discussed publication includes 25 conclusions classifying or rejecting particular physical methods of wood desinsectisation as well as rendering precise the technological conditions of their application.
