Utilization of Low-value Lumber from Small-diameter Timber Harvested in Pacific Northwest Forest Restoration Programs in Hybrid Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Core Layers: Technical Feasibility

Creator:: Lawrence, Christina
Abstract:: Each year the United States: Forest Service (USFS) spends billions of dollars fighting forest fires. One strategy used by the USFS to prevent catastrophic fires is through forest restoration programs, in which potential forest fuel is removed through mechanized thinning. This program is expensive and generates high volumes of small-diameter...

New Environmental Governance on the Range : Voluntary Conservation to Preclude an Endangered Species Act Listing?

Creator:: Wollstein, Katherine L.
Abstract:: Natural resource challenges in the American West feature a suite of actors and processes operating at different spatial and political scales, and crossing several administrative jurisdictions. I applied concepts of new environmental governance to Oregon’s greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) conservation strategy, focusing, in particular, on features of voluntary conservation arrangements...

When More Is Less : Consumer Attitude Formation When Facing Choice Overload In Apparel E-Commerce

Creator:: Tung, Tsun-Yin
Abstract:: This study proposed a theoretical model of choice overload and empirically examined the model in the context of online apparel shopping. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the number of choices and product presentation formats influenced consumers’ online apparel shopping experience as well as how the formed...

A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

Creator:: Li, Chang
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...

Public perceptions of smoke from wildfire, prescribed fire, and fire use

Creator:: Frederick, Stacey Sargent
Abstract:: Managers and policy-makers across broad disciplines and organizations are calling for a better understanding of public opinion on natural resource issues. One such issue is that of fire and its role in the management of our forests and rangelands. Public perceptions of fuel reduction techniques, with a particular emphasis on...

Encounters, norms, crowding, management, and behavioral responses of visitors at coastal state parks in Oregon

Creator:: Mouw, Wesley J.
Abstract:: With the baby boomer cohort retiring and arguably having more time for outdoor recreation, coupled with population increases and government agencies encouraging people to recreate outdoors, areas such as state and national parks will likely continue seeing high visitation. It is imperative, therefore, for outdoor recreation managers and researchers to...

Fracture properties of balsa wood and balsa core sandwich composites

Creator:: Shir Mohammadi, Meisam
Abstract:: Favorable properties of Balsa wood make it an interesting alternative in a number of applications including thermal insulation or as a lightweight core material in sandwich composites. Increasing use in construction necessitates a better understanding of its mechanical and failure properties. In the present work, mode I and mode II...

Identifying the relevance of "family forest" wood product origin and environmental certification for Oregon consumers, and specifiers and industrial customers

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: The wood products industry is influenced heavily by family ownership along the entire value chain. Although family ownership affects each link of the wood products value chain, there has been little research into the importance of products originating from family forestland. Specific attributes of products, such as origin or environmental...

Oregon's forest sector innovation system : an investigation towards advanced performance

Creator:: Orozco, Nadine C.
Abstract:: Innovation is a critical component for long term success of an organization. However, being innovative is rarely easy. Successful implementation of any innovation (product, process, or business system) can heavily rely on the functionality of the current innovation system in a given industry. An innovation system is composed of policies,...
