| The book begins by defining amber and differentiating it from copal or more recent and, as yet, undistilled resin. |
|
| This meant that forest economies, including the trade in wild rubber, copal, wax, ivory, and timber, were effectively circumscribed. |
|
| In one culture a shaman uses tobacco, sage or cannabis, in others copal, frankincense, sandalwood, cedar, juniper or pine. |
|
| Further studies are currently being carried out on groundnuts and copal, with a view to their future economic potential. |
|
| The findings of the survey showed that copal could have outlets in Madagascar or in England. |
|
| Other groups have increased maize production and the Consortium partner Pact is conducting further research on the merits of the copal trade. |
|
| All the links in the coffee, maize, groundnut, copal, caterpillar, mushroom and palm oil networks were examined in detail. |
|
| Acrylic and ketone resins are used in place of the traditional dammar, mastic, and copal resins for the manufacture of many oil painting media and picture varnishes. |
|
| The populations and local associations of Monkoto are more than motivated to engage in the collection and sale of copal. |
|
| The team used stingless bees encased in copal to try and detect DNA sequences from the insect. |
|
| This local association acts as an intermediary between the grass-roots communities and the copal buyers. |
|
| Two recipes for making a copal oil varnish are mentioned in ApianBennewitz's work. |
|
| Sorceres spread copal all over the place waiting for an indian to ask him to intercede with gods for him. |
|
| If the resin has hardened in recent times, it is called copal. |
|
| While such capacity building is still on-going, intermediary solutions had to be found during the execution of a groundnut agricultural project and during a feasibility study of the copal sector. |
|
| Amber has often been imitated by other resins like copal and kauri gum, as well as by celluloid and even glass. |
|
| Among these natural resins are dammar, copal, and rosin. |
|
| Dammar resins and the piney varnish of India are sometimes called copal. |
|
| The existence of an external market for Monkoto and Lokolama copal is a huge bonus and an opportunity to be seized for the part it may play in the development of the communities in the Salonga-LukenieSankuru Landscape. |
|
| Molecular polymerization, resulting from high pressures and temperatures produced by overlying sediment, transforms the resin first into copal. |
|
|
|
| Copal is a general term for very hard, insoluble resins, where the polymer is usually cross-linked to form a tough matrix. |
