| Abstract | The influence of the moisture capacity of cell walls on liquid transport in wood is studied using neutron imaging in combination with precision weighing. The time-dependent and spatial distribution of two liquids, one polar, water, and one nonpolar, decane, is documented during liquid uptake in the three orthotropic directions for samples of three softwood species: spruce and fir heartwood, and pine sapwood. Polar and nonpolar liquid uptake versus time is compared, the spatial distribution of the liquids within the samples is discussed, and the liquid volume and swelling profiles along the height of the samples are described in details. Water uptake is shown to be slower than decane uptake, due to water being adsorbed by the cells walls. Decane, due to its very low contact angle and high wettability compared to water, does not face much resistance from wood cellular features. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
