Abstract
In the wood products industry, terahertz (THz) radiation is showing promise for new types of sensing and imaging applications, which depend on the ability of THz radiation to probe the gross fiber structure of wood. The sensitivity to this gross fiber structure is a result of the strong birefringence of wood at THz frequencies. Wood is a complex structure, and the large birefringence observed may be due to either intrinsic or form birefringence. In this paper, the origin of birefringence in wood at THz frequencies is examined in detail. Although the source of birefringence varies according to species, the trend shows contributions from both types of birefringence. This has implications for application development in the wood products industry, where the possibility of probing both the gross physical structure of wood and wood products, and the intrinsic properties of wood such as crystallinity and microfibril angle, simultaneously may allow for nondestructive noncontact strength testing of wood and composite wood products.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
