A review of the Lepturinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Pacific Northwest, with special attention to the elderberry longhorn beetle, Desmocerus Dejean

Creator:: Schapker, Philip A.
Abstract:: Here presented is a photographic catalogue, a key, and literature review for the 35 genera and 90 species of lepturine longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) found in the Pacific Northwest. Several nomenclatural changes, recognized by the global taxonomic community, but previously unknown to North American authors, are adopted, and one new...

Simultaneous equation estimation for individual tree growth in young Southern Oregon and Northern California conifer plantations

Creator:: Hamann, Jeff D.
Abstract:: This thesis presents methods for obtaining asymptotically efficient and consistent parameters and variance estimates for simultaneous equations in a forest growth modelling context. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR), Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Three- Stage Least Squares (3SLS) are presented for linear models. The variables, model types...

Development of Douglas-fir log quality, product yield, and stand value after repeated thinnings in western Oregon

Creator:: Christensen, Glenn A.
Abstract:: Forest managers are beginning to take an interest in management of young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in Western Oregon and Washington. Studies have established the relationship between growth and levels-of-growing-stock but few have established a link to wood quality and value. This study used data collected from a long...

Distribution and growth of advance Douglas-fir regeneration in commercially thinned stands in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Beer, Louis W.
Abstract:: This study examined the abundance, size, growth, and age of advance regeneration Douglas-fir, beneath an eighty year-old overstory at a single site on plots subjected to different overstory thinning treatments. Treatments consisted of keeping overstory basal area within upper and lower limits for periods of 12-17 years which, depending upon...

Optimization of feeding schedules for coho salmon in the hatchery environment

Creator:: Corey, Philip David
Abstract:: A growth model is developed for coho salmon which accounts for temperatures and feeding rates typically encountered in fish hatchery operation. Feeding rates utilized by the model ranged from maintenance to maximum utilizable rations. The model is derived from an empirical equation for maximum growth rate, and a theoretical equation...

The Winners and Losers of Sarbanes-Oxley

Creator:: Bailey, Derek
Abstract:: As a result of numerous financial scandals at the turn of the 21st century, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002, requiring all publicly-listed companies to comply with regulations aimed at reducing the amount of material misstatements in the financial statements, both frauds and errors. Although the costs of...

Who We Are and Will Be

Creator:: Jackson, Linda Carol, 1949-
Abstract:: The protagonists in the fiction of Paule Marshall, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison illuminate American cultural perceptions of black women and illustrate how the creators of these characters hope to change those perceptions. I studied Paule Marshall's Daughters, Alice Walker's Meridian and The Color Purple, and Toni Morrison's The Bluest...

Phenotypic evolution as a response to thermal ecology in the ferocious waterbug Abedus herberti (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae)

Creator:: Pelegrin, Arthur Lomis
Abstract:: Over 150 years ago, C. Bergmann observed a within-species pattern of increasing body size as elevation and latitude increased. Bergmann’s data came from numerous endothermic taxa, but the pattern has since been documented among numerous poikilotherms and invertebrates. The ferocious waterbug Abedus herberti Hidalgo (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae) lives in isolated populations...

The effects of thinning on stand and tree growth in a young, high site Douglas-fir stand in western Oregon

Creator:: Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: The Levels-of-Growing-Stock Studies in Douglas-fir is a regional cooperative to investigate the effects of levels of growing stock on young stand growth. The Hoskins installation, in western Oregon, was established in a dense, high site natural stand at total age 20 years. The initial thinning resulted in an immediate 131...

An evaluation of the use of tarif tables in second growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: The Washington State Department of Natural Resources' Comprehensive Tree-Volume Tarif Tables are a set of preconstructed local volume tables. This can increase "on plot" efficiency since only diameters are necessary to obtain volumes after the proper table for the given diameter/height relationship is accessed. The tables are accessed and indexed...
