Segmenting single-family homebuilders on a measure of innovativeness

Creator:: Fell, David R.
Abstract:: The goal of this study is to provide a better understanding of new product adoption by single family homebuilders. Information from this study will be useful to producers of new and existing engineered wood products in targeting their market development efforts. Homebuilders are studied with the goal of segmenting them...

Effect of high temperature drying on bending and shear strengths of western hemlock

Creator:: Thiam, Massamba
Abstract:: The advantages of high-temperature drying are faster drying, reduced inventory, reduced energy requirements, and reduced equilibrium moisture content. However the disadvantages are higher initial costs of the kiln, greater power needs, knot dropout, and reduction in some strength properties. The latter was the subject of this study. Three hundred pieces...

Using quality function deployment to achieve a market orientation : an application with wood products companies

Creator:: Wagner, Ernesto R.
Abstract:: This document presents a new method for improving the market orientation of companies. In that regard, I developed a new Quality Function Deployment application (QFD), which compares customer needs with company competitive advantages, in order to determine those advantages that best satisfy customer wants and needs. The methodology was applied...

Dielectric cure monitoring of composite panels during hot pressing : a fundamental understanding

Creator:: Congleton, Tyler G.
Abstract:: Dielectric quantification of material properties is a technology well established in many industries. The application of this concept to the forest products industry to measure adhesive cure, however, has been belated in part due to a lack of proven technology directed at industrial processes and products. It is of great...

Characterization of dissolved wood organics in totally-chlorine-free bleaching kraft pulp mill effluents

Creator:: Xie, Dingming
Abstract:: Six filtrate samples (liquid state) were obtained from selected stages in a totally-chlorine- free (TCF) bleach pulp mill. The solids were recovered by evaporation on rotary evaporators and by lyophilization with a freeze drier. Chemical contents (inorganic and organic chemicals) of the six filtrates were analyzed quantitatively according to TAPPI...

Model and procedure for determination of strength and stiffness of wood studs

Creator:: Fernandez, Virgilio Asuncion
Abstract:: Elasticity properties of wood studs are essential inputs for the structural analysis of wood-stud wall systems. A theoretical procedure was developed to determine the probability distributions for the deflection-load relations of stud samples. The procedure is based on the finite element analysis and a Monte- Carlo type simulation and accounts...

Influence of spacing and crown recession on wood quality of intensively-managed young-growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Robbins, James M.
Abstract:: Intensive management of young-growth Douglas-fir plantations has emphasized volume growth over wood quality. A better understanding of the variables that affect wood quality is needed so that wood quality and stand yield can be systematically combined into a silviculture program. This experiment utilized two separate experiments to establish the relationship...

Log cost allocation for multiple mill merchandising systems

Creator:: Leatherman, Louis M.
Abstract:: Co-located mills that share a log resource through a single merchandising facility are challenged with the task of allocating the costs of joint-products in order to determine log cost for each mill during a given period. While allocating joint-costs is inherently arbitrary, some allocation must be made to include raw...

An analysis of consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products

Creator:: Anderson, Roy Carl
Abstract:: Historically, researchers have used surveys, focus groups, and anecdotal evidence to evaluate consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products. These methods generally measure consumer attitudes toward certified forest products. Since the strength of the correlation between attitudes and behavior has long been questioned, consumer response to certified forest products...
