CAB ABSTRACTS is a comprehensive file of applied life science information containing all records in the 44 abstract journals published by CAB International (CABI), plus many more records which appear online only. CABI has long been recognized as a leading scientific information service in agriculture and related sciences. Of particular note are sections in the database comprehensively covering literature in the fields of veterinary medicine, human nutrition, horticulture, forestry, leisure, recreation, and tourism. More than 9,000 serial journals in more than 50 languages are scanned, as well as books, reports, and other publications. About 225,000 items per year are selected for inclusion in CAB Abstracts; over 95 percent of the literature is abstracted, while less important works are reported with bibliographic details only. An online thesaurus is available as an aid in locating broader, narrower, and related subject terms. File 250, ONTAP CAB ABSTRACTS, is available for ONline Training And Practice; it contains approximately 38,000 CAB ABSTRACTS records from early 1993.
CAB ABSTRACTS covers every branch of the applied life sciences, including:
The material scanned for CAB ABSTRACTS includes the following: scientific journals, books, monographs in series, textbooks, technical reports, published theses, symposia, conference proceedings, review journals, selected patents, annual reports, bibliographies and guides, and translated journals.

| /AB | Chemical modification shows promise as a means of protecting wood from |
| deterioration by fungi, but the systems tested to date have shown limited | |
| ability to photostabilize wood. In this study, wood of Scots pine ( Pinus | |
| sylvestris ) was esterified with benzoyl chloride and the photostability | |
| of the modified wood was assessed. Benzoyl chloride was chosen because it | |
| was thought that the introduction of benzoyl groups into wood might act as | |
| a UV screen protecting wood from photodegradation. Benzoylation of wood to | |
| high weight gains ( 70%) was effective at protecting wood from | |
| photodegradation and there was an inverse relationship between weight | |
| gains due to benzoylation and mass losses of modified Scots pine wood | |
| veneers during weathering. FTIR spectroscopy and SEM of benzoylated wood | |
| exposed to natural weathering provided strong evidence for the | |
| stabilization of lignin as a result of benzoylation. Benzoylation to high | |
| weight gain, however, caused extensive swelling of the wood cell wall and | |
| large losses in the tensile strength of veneers. The UV absorption | |
| characteristics of wood were modified by benzoylation and ESR spectroscopy | |
| of UV irradiated veneers clearly showed that benzoylation reduced the | |
| concentration of free radicals that are involved in the photodegradation | |
| of wood. | |
