A 10 GHz microwave bridge measurement system has been developed to automatically measure the electromagnetic field parameters transmitted through a dielectric material. These parameters are used to calculate the complex dielectric constant with the free-space transmission technique. The system is used to measure the field parameters transmitted through dimension lumber and a correlation is made with two strength determining factors of lumber: specific gravity and moisture content. Hemlock and Douglas Fir wood samples were tested and a grading technique was implemented. The system is capable of estimating the specific gravity to ±0.05 accuracy and the moisture content to ±3.0% accuracy. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate

"The writer has come to believe that much of the discussion in faculty meetings on the topic 'How to Improve Evaluation of Pupil Progress' has centered too much on the mechanics of reporting, that is, upon a debate regarding the form and kind of marking system used in the report card itself. Ideas gathered from several courses taken at Florida State University and from reading have convinced the writer that while, in evaluating pupil progress, the method of reporting is important, building a new report card is not the first step to be undertaken. Several prior questions of a very fundamental sort must be answered before one comes to settling the report card issue. Therefore the paper will reflect what the writer considers to be essential considerations in the process of defining learning outcomes, securing evidence of their achievement, and reporting the progress achieved"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: W.

Recording the progress of children and reporting to parents is one of the important responsibilities of the elementary school today. Reporting is a request by parents to know about the progress or lack of progress of children, but there has not been found any type of law stating that the school must give parents any type of report. It is assumed that each school will engage in this activity. / Typescript. / "August, 1953." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Mildred E.

Over the last several years questions about the strength of structural lumber have been raised. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physically measured wood properties using Near Infrared spectroscopy. Physical properties were determined from (2 x 4 x 2 in.) cut samples. Destructive mechanical testing was performed on 744; 8 feet long, No.2 grade 2x4’s. Diffuse reflectance NIR spectra was collected from the cross-sectional face of each block using FOSS NIR Systems Inc. Model 5000 scanning spectrometer. Calibrations were then created between measured properties and NIR estimates. Density, specific gravity, latewood percentage, MOE and MOR had coefficient of determinations of 0.78, 0.56, 0.02, 0.56, and 0.48 respectively. The low correlation is likely caused by the grade of lumber. Because No.2 lumber has considerable knots, they were the determining factor in strength and stiffness; these results would likely not be similar in a higher grade lumber.
