The community-based timber production(CTP) projects of Melanesia could potentially benefit a great deal from certification, which allows access to foreign ’ecotimber’ markets. Examining circumstances in the Solomon Islands, this paper found that CTP projects were hard pressed to meet some of the principles and criteria required for certification through the Forest Stewardship Council. 1, record 2, English, - ecotimber

The Impress Service covered every port in Great Britain. Each major port had a captain in charge, while smaller ports had a lieutenant.... The senior officer was known as the regulating officer, and the headquarters chosen was called the Rendezvous. Having set up the Rendezvous, the regulating officer would then hire some of the local hard men as ’gangers’, to form the press gang(on land the press gang was rarely formed by sailors). Being one of the gangers was perhaps the only sure fire way of not being pressed. The Gang was then sent out and roamed the surrounding countryside in search of suitable recruits. 2, record 3, English, - press%2Dgang

Wet-process fiberboards can be made in a range of densities. At one end is the low-density insulation board panel that requires some 15 % of a binder, usually starch, to reach a useful level of strength properties. In the middle are the medium-density fiberboards(around 0. 7 relative density) that require about 8-10% resin.... At the high end of the density scale are the wet-process hardboards(strictly speaking, hard-pressed fiberboards) that use as little as 0. 5 % of an added phenol-formaldehyde resin binder. 1, record 7, English, - hard%2Dpressed%20fiberboard

La résistance mécanique du panneau de fibres produit par voie humide dépend en grande partie de l'adhésion des fibres les unes aux autres par les phénomènes physico-chimiques (analogues à ceux du papier) qui se produisent lors de l'évaporation de l'eau (...) Les panneaux de fibres fabriqués par voie humide peuvent être plus ou moins denses. Au bas de la gamme se trouve le panneau isolant à faible densité qui nécessite environ 15 % de liant, habituellement de l'amidon, pour atteindre un niveau de résistance mécanique acceptable (...) Au centre de cette gamme se trouvent les panneaux de fibres de densité moyenne (environ 0,7) qui nécessitent 8 à 10 % de liant (...) A l'extrémité supérieure se situent les panneaux de fibres durs produits par voie humide (à proprement parler, panneaux de fibres densifiés) contenant aussi peu que 0,5 % de liant phénolique. 1, record 7, French, - panneau%20de%20fibres%20dur%20produit%20par%20voie%20humide
