Tactical forest planning using the scheduling and network analysis program (SNAP II)

Creator:: Mafera, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Approximately 750 million acres, or one-third, of the total area in the United States is in forest land. The United States Forest Service, a 34,000 person agency of the Department of Agriculture, is responsible for the management of roughly 20 percent of the forest land in the United States. The...

Critique of seven helicopter timber sales with recommendations for improved planning

Creator:: Petaisto, Inga T.
Abstract:: The focus of this study centers around the economic, technical, and environmental effects analysis of seven helicopter timber sales on four different national forests in Oregon and Washington. This paper is a constructive critique of these seven sales based on the author's personal observations and data collected from planning documents,...

A mobility model for tracked vehicles

Creator:: Gleason, Karl H.
Abstract:: A semi-empirical mobility model is presented which predicts tracked vehicle performance in timber harvesting applications. The interactions between the log load and the terrain, the log load and the vehicle, and the vehicle and the terrain cause resistances for the vehicle. The mobility model calculates these resistances, comparing them to...

LOGCOST a harvest cost model for southwestern Idaho

Creator:: Giles, Robert Steven
Abstract:: LOCCOST is an interactive computer program that predicts stump to mill logging costs, stumpage and net present value of a harvest based on stand data, pond value and logging parameters, entered by the user. The program is intended for use by foresters to evaluate the economics of different stand management...

The effect of job interruptions on human learning

Creator:: Al-haboubi, Muhammad H.
Abstract:: It is a widely accepted premise of industrial management that an interruption in the performance of a task will be accompanied by a decrease in operator skill level upon resuming performance of the task. Moreover, it has been generally assumed that this loss of skill is related to several factors...

The physiological effect of posture on cycling

Creator:: al-Haboubi, Muhammad
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to investigate the physiological effects of body posture on cycling. The familiar positions of bicycle riding have been the touring posture (hands stretched on top handlebar) and the racing posture (hands bent at the elbow, with the back horizontal). However, a relatively new stance...

An experimental investigation of scheduling non-identical parallel processors with sequence-dependent set-up times and due dates

Creator:: Smith, Terrence A.
Abstract:: An experimental investigation of factors effecting scheduling a system of parallel, non-identical processors using a series of experimental designs was carried out. System variables included were processor capacities relationships, sequencing and assignment rules, job size, and product demand distributions. The effect of the variables was measured by comparing mean flow...

Distribution center performance assessment

Creator:: Kuo, Chun-Ho, 1969-
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to assess the performance measurement systems currently used in today's distribution centers. A comprehensive investigation of distribution centers' performance measurement system is completed. Three major research phases are included in this study. An overview of distribution centers, including background, components, functions, and material handling...

An economic analysis of pavement damage caused by studded tires in Oregon

Creator:: Gray, Judith Ann
Abstract:: This report frames the debate over studded tires in terms of economic principles of marginal cost pricing and efficient resource allocation. In the absence of a user tax, the pavement damage caused by studded tires results in inefficient pricing because social costs associated with the damage are excluded from the...

Automating pilot function performance assesssment using fuzzy systems and a genetic algorithm

Creator:: Zaspel, Joachim C.
Abstract:: Modern civil commercial transport aircraft provide the means for the safest of all forms of transportation. While advanced computer technology ranging from flight management computers to warning and alerting devices contributed to flight safety significantly, it is undisputed that the flightcrew represents the most frequent primary cause factor in airline...
