Although retailing is often characterised by a dynamic and highly competitive environment, retail organizations are not often considered as “innovative,” at least when compared with manufacturing industries or when using existing innovation frameworks in

Numerical study on the effects of macro climate and detailing on the relative decay hazard of Norway spruce

The durability of wood depends on its in-use environmental conditions. The aim of the present study was to estimate the effects associated with macro climate and detail design as well as their interdependence. A numerical moisture model and two different decay prediction models were utilized for assessing the decay risk of a horizontal member and a joint exposed at 300 sites scattered across EuropThe durability of wood depends on its in-use environmental conditions.
