The origins of macroscopic quantum coherence in high temperature superconductivity. (2015)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Nottale, L. (2015). The origins of macroscopic quantum coherence in high temperature superconductivity. Physica C: Superconductivity and its Applications, 515, 15-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physc.2015.04.006

A new, theoretical approach to macroscopic quantum coherence and superconductivity in the p-type (hole doped) cuprates is proposed. The theory includes mechanisms to account for e-pair coupling in the superconducting and pseudogap phases and their in...

Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Turner, P. (2001). Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources.

The paper outlines options for managing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. It begins with the hypothesis that variation is the largest single issue with regard to wood quality and that the extent of variation creates both the big...

An industrial evaluation of a stand level grading system for Pinus patula. (2001)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Megown, K. A., Grzeskowiak, V., Megown, R. A., Pauck, J., & Alborough, D. (2001). An industrial evaluation of a stand level grading system for Pinus patula. Southern African forestry journal, 190(1), 105-114. https://doi.org/10.1080/20702620.2001.10434123

This paper reports on progress made in the development and implementation of a stand level wood quality grading system for P. patula identified for processing in Mondi Merebank's stone ground wood and thermo-mechanical pulp lines. The grading system... Read More about An industrial evaluation of a stand level grading system for Pinus patula..

A feasibility study on the development of an integrated manufacturing planning and control system in the South African Sawmill Industry (1999)
Journal Article

Treatment of timber products with gaseous borate esters: Part 2. Process improvement (1998)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Murphy, R. J. (1998). Treatment of timber products with gaseous borate esters: Part 2. Process improvement. Wood science and technology, 32(1), 25-31. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00702557

This paper forms a continuation of the work on treatment of timber products with gaseous borate esters. Turner and Murphy (1995) in an earlier paper indicated that gas flow rate into the wood substrate was the principle factor limiting the rate of bo...

Maximising Value of the Plantation Resource: Part 1. Development of a Log Grading Proposal for Pruned Softwood logs (1996)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Price, C. S. (1996). Maximising Value of the Plantation Resource: Part 1. Development of a Log Grading Proposal for Pruned Softwood logs. South African forestry journal, 176(1), 29-33. https://doi.org/10.1080/00382167.1996.9629707

There are at present strong market pressures to increase the price of pruned softwood logs in South Africa. However, there is currently no equitable basis on which to price pruned logs, as their value can vary enormously, depending upon a number of i...
