Restoration of Pigeon Guillemot Nesting Habitat Through Removal of Introduced Predators

Creator:: Stark, Samuel B.
Abstract:: The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) in Prince William Sound, Alaska provided impetus for a great deal of research into the ecosystems of the Northern Gulf of Alaska. Buried within the multitude of resulting impacts, which included hundreds of thousands of oiled seabirds and dramatic ecosystem shifts in the...

Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

Creator:: Stark, William D.
Abstract:: The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

A model study of the alfalfa leafcutter bee - seed production system

Creator:: Stark, Steven Bruce
Abstract:: The behaviors of the alfalfa leaf cutter bee - seed production system under imposition of several management regimes were studied through the use of a simulation model that contains mechanisms for the following processes: 1) immature bee development and diapause; 2) immature bee mortality; 3) female bee emergence; 4) nesting...

Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...

A Review of Contemporary Methods for the Presentation of Scientific Uncertainty

Creator:: Makinson, K. A., Hamby, D. M., and Edwards, J. A.
Abstract:: Graphical methods for displaying uncertainty are often the most concise and informative way to communicate abstract concepts. Presentation methods currently in use for the display and interpretation of scientific uncertainty are reviewed. Numerous subjective and objective uncertainty display methods are presented, including qualitative assessments, node and arrow diagrams, standard statistical...

Kiln-drying Oregon maple paper roll plugs

Creator:: Anderson, B. G., Williams, W., Jr., and Oregon Forest Products Laboratory
Abstract:: Four charges of S-inch paper roll plugs of Oregon maple were kiln-dried at various temperatures and humidities. The charge with the most desirable combination of short drying time and low degrade was dried to 12 per cent moisture content in lit hours, using a dry-bulb temperature of 160 degrees F...

Evaluation of a Workplace Treadmill Desk Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Creator:: Schuna, John M., Jr., Swift, Damon L., Hendrick, Chelsea A., Duet, Megan T., Johnson, William D., Martin, Corby K., Church, Timothy S., and Tudor-Locke, Catrine
Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-month treadmill desk intervention in eliciting changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior among overweight/obese office workers. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among overweight/obese office workers (n=41; mean age = 40.1 ± 10.1 years) at a private workplace. Participants were randomly...

PRex: an experiment to investigate detection of near-field particulate deposition from a simulated underground nuclear weapons test vent

Creator:: Keillor, Martin E., Arrigo, Leah M., Baciak, James E., Chipman, Veraun, Detwiler, Rebecca S., Emer, Dudley F., Kernan, Warnick J., Kirkham, Randy R., MacDougall, Matthew R., Milbrath, Brian D., Rishel, Jeremy P., Seifert, Allen, Seifert, Carolyn E., and Smart, John E.
Abstract:: A radioactive particulate release experiment to produce a near-field ground deposition representative of small-scale venting from an underground nuclear test was conducted to gather data in support of treaty capability development activities. For this experiment, aCO₂‐driven “air cannon” was used to inject ¹⁴⁰La, a radioisotope of lanthanum with 1.7‐d half-life...
