This paper describes methods that can be used to
evaluate stand and tree growth response to a single
application of fertilization and/or thinning with data
collected from multiple installations. Two kinds of
methods ...
Numbers of wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have increased dramatically during the past 30 years in the lower Columbia and Willamette Valley systems. The damage they cause by grazing and trampling plants can be subs ...
This research was motivated by the use of multi-track feeders in the printed
circuit board (PCB) assembly. In a low volume, high mix production environment,
setup time is usually considered more important than processi ...
Measuring the source and magnitude of components of variation has important
applications in industrial, environmental and biological studies. This thesis considers
the problem of constructing confidence intervals for v ...
There was a linear relationship of [alpha]-amylase activity
from 2 to 12 hours incubation in both freeze-dried and fresh
'd'Anjou' pear fruit tissue. Activity was greater, however,
in fresh as compared with freeze-dri ...
The golf swing involves a complex sequence of body movements which adjust
according to the demands of a given shot. The purpose of this study was to determine
common characteristics and essential elements of the golf s ...
Studies were conducted in 1976 and 1977 on the effects of harvest
dates on maturity, yields and sugar content of four cultivars of
sweet corn. The cultivars were 'Golden Cross Bantam', 'Jubilee',
'Rapidpak' and 'Tende ...
In site index studies, the hypothesis that height
growth of most conifers is independent of stand density
is commonly accepted. However, some studies have shown
height growth to be influenced by density particularly
...
The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical ...
Diameter growth of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuqa menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) estimated from increment cores was compared with that obtained from repeated measurements of tree diameter on permanent plots located in two Douglas-f ...
The validation and potential use of mathematical models to estimate the
shelf-life of refrigerated food exposed to temperature abuse and basing such
estimations on microbial growth was analyzed. Combined heat transfer, ...
Variable area surveys are used in large geographic regions to estimate the
density of birds distributed over a region. If some birds go undetected, a
measure of the effective area surveyed, the amount of area occupied ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between
adolescents' food preferences and their mothers' attitudes and knowledge about foods
and nutrition in Phitsanulok Province, Thailand. Subjects incl ...
