Creator:: Gebremedhin, K. G., Jagdale, S. S., and Gupta, R.
Abstract:: A procedure has been developed to optimize designs of metal-clad post-frame buildings using an expert system. The novel part of the study is the development of a procedure that extends the solution of an engineering problem from a conventional algorithmic Computer Aided Design (CAD) program to be used by the...

Creator:: Jayawickrama, K. J. S., McKeand, S. E., and Jett, J. B.
Abstract:: Contributions of sites, rootstocks, and scion clones (and the nteractions between these factors) to scion growth and reproduction were studied in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Twenty-five full-sib families were used as rootstocks. Six scion clones were grafted on them in all combinations. Study sites were three seed orchards in...

Abstract:: Stratified seeds of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) were germinated, sown in soil, and seed coats and megagametophytes were removed at various stages of early seedling development. Yield and quality of DNA extracted from the megagametophytes were related to several morphological traits of the seedlings after 2...

Creator:: Buonopane, Michelle, Snider, Gabrielle, Kerns, Becky K., and Doescher, Paul S.
Abstract:: Federal policies in the US strongly emphasize reducing hazardous fuels at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). However, these areas present restoration challenges as they often have exotic weeds, frequent human disturbance, and the presence of roads. Understanding seed banks is important in planning for desirable post-disturbance community conditions, developing integrated...

Creator:: Jayawickrama, K. J. S., McKeand, S. E., Jett, J. B., and Wheeler, E. A.
Abstract:: When grown together in plantations, fast-growing southern and coastal sources of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)often have lower wood specific gravity than northern and inland sources. This study investigated whether this phenomenon could be explained by a later transition to latewood, associated with a longer period of height growth, of...

Abstract:: Variation in cold-hardiness traits, and their extent of genetic control and interrelationships, were investigated among individuals (clones) within a single large full-sib family of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) from Oregon. Cold injury to needle, stem, and bud tissues was evaluated in fall 1996 and spring 1997...

Abstract:: A plan irregularity rapid visual screening method for seismic performance assessment of wood-frame, single-family dwellings is presented. Results from 124 samples were compared with (i) building-specific, non-linear time-history analysis, and (ii) FEMA 154 and ASCE 31 Tier 1. Verification using two houses damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake is presented....

Abstract:: The effects of initial leaf litter chemistry on first-year decomposition rates were studied for 16 common Pacific Northwest conifers, hardwoods, and shrubs at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in western Oregon. Leaf litters were analyzed for C, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, proximate organic fractions (nonpolar, polar, acid-hydrolyzable extractives, acid-hydrolyzable...
