Abstract: A method for fast fabricating a glued laminated timber is provided. The method includes the following steps: preparing a plurality of prelaminating pieces, each of the prelaminating pieces having at least two laminating surfaces, arranging the prelaminating pieces to position the laminating surfaces substantially perpendicular with a horizontal plane, and uniformly distributing glue onto the laminating surfaces of the prelaminating pieces; drying the prelaminating pieces having glue distributed thereon to precuring the glue distributed on the laminating surfaces; sequentially stacking the prelaminating pieces one on another to obtain a stack, wherein each of the prelaminating pieces is stacked to another with its laminating surfaces only; conducting a compression treatment to the stack and maintaining the compression treatment for a certain time to obtain a glued laminated timber preform; and conducting a drying treatment to the glued laminated timber preform to obtain the glued laminated timber.

Abstract: Absorbent articles comprising one or more sensors capable of detecting the presence of a body waste in the absorbent article are described. In particular, the absorbent articles comprise at least one chemiresistor capable of detecting the presence of volatile organic compounds associated with a body waste.
