“…Por este motivo, não é possível seguir completamente a norma europeia, uma vez que os dois continentes apresentam condições ambientais completamente diferentes no que diz respeito à temperatura da água. Que é um fator determinante para a atividade e ocorrência dos xilófagos marinhos (BASTIDA; TORTI, 1972;STEINMAYER;TURFA, 1996).…”

Esse artigo objetivou realizar a compilação das publicações relacionadas a bioderetioração da madeira em ambiente marinho no Brasil até 2019, apresentando uma revisão bibliométrica e o estado da arte sobre este tema. A pesquisa foi realizada utilizando três bases de dados: Scielo, Web of Science e Scopus. Os artigos passaram por uma triagem resultando em 17 documentos. Os principais parâmetros de avaliação foram as instituições que contribuíram para a pesquisa; distribuição das publicações ao longo dos anos; objetivo da pesquisa; e se o tema tecnologia da madeira foi abordado. O primeiro registro de publicações com brocas marinhas no Brasil foi na década de 1980, mas não houve um aumento de produção científica ao longo dos anos. Além disso, nenhum dos estudos avaliados teve a biodeterioração e preservação da madeira como foco, sendo mais direcionados para tópicos como ecologia, fisiologia e taxonomia dos xilófagos marinhos. Existe a necessidade estimular pesquisas voltadas para a biodeterioração e preservação da madeira relacionadas a brocas marinhas, tendo em vista a lacuna de estudos com esse tema, bem como a importância desses organismos no âmbito ambiental e econômico. Palavras-chave: xilófagos marinhos; preservação da madeira; moluscos; crustáceos. Marine borers and wood biodeterioration in Brazil: a systematic review ABSTRACT: This paper aims to carry out a compilation of publications on wood biodeterioration by marine borers in Brazil until 2019. It presents a bibliometric review and offers the state of the art on the subject. The research was carried out in three databases: Scielo, Web of Science and Scopus. The articles were screened resulting in 17 documents. The main evaluation parameters were the institutions that contributed to the research; distribution of publications over the years; aims; and if the subject wood technology was addressed. The analysis suggests that the first record on the subject dates from the 1980s, but there is no increase of studies published over the years. In addition, none of the studies focus on wood biodeterioration and preservation, being more directed towards topics such as ecology, physiology, and taxonomy of marine xylophages. There is a need to encourage research focused on wood biodeterioration and preservation related to marine borers, given the lack of studies on this topic, as well as the importance of these organisms in the environmental and economic sphere. Keywords: marine xylophages; wood preservation; molluscs; crustaceans.

“…The fear marine woodborers created in the minds of early sea-farers is also amply reflected in literature describing the latter's preferences for certain type of timber species on the false assumption that some of them are more resistant to bio-deterioration. References are available to show the extensive use of beech, oak, ash, mulberry, elm, fir, pine and cedar in western countries (Steinmayer Jr and Turfa 1996) and teak, benteak, sissoo, Indian Rose-wood, Terminalia spp. and Phoebe spp.…”

Shipwrecks and Global ‘Worming’

Marine borers, particularly the shipworms, as destroyers of timber, par excellence, are well known from very ancient times. They attacked the wooden hulls of ships with such intensity that the weakened bottom planks broke up even due to a mild impact caused by hitting a rock or any floating objects inducing shipwrecks. Even the survival of sunken ships as wrecks depends on the mercy of wood-destroying organisms, which may turn these 'port-holes' to history into meaningless junks. The silent saboteurs, involved in several early shipwrecks, are the molluscan and crustacean borers, aided by bacteria and fungi.1.

“…At the time men were, around the world and throughout the ages, the primordial source of energy to transport huge loads. For example, megaliths was erected during the Neolithic age [4] and triremes were hauled on the beach by large teams in Antiquity [5]. The use of the brutal physical force decreased with the development of techniques and scientific knowledge.…”

The Transportation of the Djehutihotep Statue Revisited

The transportation of a colossus painted in the ancient Egyptian tomb of Djehutihotep (Dayr al-Barshā) is known as an example of lubrication application. However the benefits and the nature of lubrication used by ancient Egyptians are controversial. In order to clarify this issue, the physical parameters involved in the transportation are carefully reviewed. The traction force is a key parameter, and is evaluated by simple physical models and the results of biomechanical and ergonomic studies. The results of this work suggest high traction force can be produced only with an excellent team coordination, and the friction coefficient between sledge and ground is efficiently reduced by hypothetical methods which exclude probably wood-on-wood or wood-on-sand surface contacts.
