“…Thus, wood with low density or thicker thickness has higher porosity, and if the content of air is increased, the thermal conductivity will be decreased. However, when the moisture content of wood increases, it will lead to an upward trend [31,35]. Seo et al [36] mentioned that the thermal conductivity of the floor is related to the material density, and the thermal conductivity of wood materials increases with the increase of density.…”

In this study, specimens were prepared from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) with different thicknesses to determine the best hot-pressing conditions for wood compression layered structural materials (WCLS) through densification at various temperatures and compressing time conditions. However, residual stress-releasing after densification recovery can cause dimensional instability. To address this issue, the drying set method was combined with the compression-set recovery test to determine the best setting time. As a result, the bending strength and modulus of rupture (MOR) of WCLS increased by 9.98 ± 9.71 to 20.87 ± 13.09% and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) increased by 9.87 ± 11.92 to 22.40 ± 17.97%. The volumetric swelling coefficient (S), water absorption percent (WAP), and equivalent moisture content (EMC) decreased as the drying time increased. The anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) and moisture excluding efficiency (MEE) were found to be the highest at a drying time of 12 h, with values ranging from 13.20 ± 15.11 to 36.46 ± 6.83% and 15.18 ± 1.11 to 19.58 ± 8.31%, respectively. The drying method was found to be effective in increasing dimensional stability. The glass transition temperature (Tg) moved to a lower temperature as the compression-set increased, which was due to plasticization of wood caused by high temperature and pressure. The cell walls of WCLS presented viscous buckling, which provided effective dimensional stability. The thermal conductivity of Japanese cedar and each compression-set WCLS were 0.1863 ± 0.0071, 0.1520 ± 0.0147, 0.1817 ± 0.0106, and 0.1423 ± 0.0137 W/mK, respectively. The thermal conductivity of each WCLS increased with an increase in compression-set, but decreased by 10.67 to 22.52% compared to Japanese cedar. The total electricity energy consumption of each WCLS after 24 h of testing decreased with a trend of 30.50 ± 0.84, 29.83 ± 0.42, 29.57 ± 0.51, and 29.4 ± 0.36 kWH.

The quality of public services provided to citizens through information and communication technologies has emerged as one of the key points of public administration reform. In Italy, many legislative measures have triggered a virtuous circle of eGovernment that has achieved limited results in adopting new technologies by citizens and businesses [1]. This paper sets out to explore whether the design of an IT platform operating in a smart city context may increase the quality of services provided to citizens. Based on a case study methodology, the research examines the process of revitalization and smartification of a city, seen from the stakeholders’ perspective such as Government, Citizens and Tourists [2]. The paper is original in its examination of the Tely platform enabled by data obtained from the technology developer. It turned out that the platform has the potential to increase the quality of services provided to citizens and promote social integration in an area with a significant migratory population. However, the limitations of a single case study in a specific research context, such as a small town, are acknowledged and further research is needed to fully understand the implications of smart city initiatives and their effective implementation in different contexts.
