Investigation of effectiveness of radar speed signs and additional lighting for speed control in highway construction and maintenance work zones

Creator:: Jafarnejad, Ali
Abstract:: Every year thousands of people are killed or injured in work zone crashes in the US due to excessive speed, distraction, inattentiveness, low visibility, and other factors. Roadway construction and maintenance operations often occur at night when the traffic volume is low, creating less congestion and delay to the traffic....

Economic Benefit from Allowing Wildfires to Burn in Federal East-Side Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gagnon, Aaron R.
Abstract:: In this thesis I examine the question: can allowing a wildfire to burn this year result in a net positive economic gain? To answer this question I created 2,500 multiple sets of paired scenarios (called a fire of interest) which consist of ignitions, vegetation growth, and timber harvest over the...

Measuring costs of sequestering carbon in forest stands with different management regimes in western Oregon

Creator:: Zyrina, Olga A.
Abstract:: This project was a part of larger work that compared major factors controlling patterns of carbon dynamics in two regions of the globe, the Pacific Northwest, USA and northwestern Russia. It was funded through the NASA foundation (grant # NAG5- 6242). Human economic activity is causing the release of pollutants...

Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

Creator:: Lichtenstein, Mark E.
Abstract:: This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits and costs of alternative management prescriptions. The study examines three watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range and 166 terrestrial...

Aerial forest operations : mineral amendment project

Creator:: Cornell, Jennie L.
Abstract:: A helicopter operations problem was studied for a private forest landowner testing an experimental application of minerals on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesil) in the Coast Range of Oregon to offset growth reductions from Swiss needle cast disease. A planning approach was needed to minimize costs for transportation and aerial application of...

A Quantitative Analysis of Simultaneous Supply and Demand Disruptions on a Multi-Echelon Supply Chain

Creator:: Kost, Austin R.
Abstract:: Modern supply chains have grown to be far more complex than their predecessors, as global trade and accessibility have opened avenues of trade that were previously impossible. As such, the inherent risk of internal and/or external disruptions impacting the performance of a supply chain has also grown due to the...

Effect of constituent materials and curing methods on the abrasion resistance and durability of high performance concrete for pre-cast pre-stressed bridge deck slabs

Creator:: Keshari, Shweta
Abstract:: This thesis is the consequence of a research effort undertaken by the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University and funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The principal objective of the effort was to reduce the life cycle cost...

An evaluation of an inventory projection system : TRIM model predictions vs. forest inventory field measurements in North Carolina

Creator:: Mills, John R.
Abstract:: As part of the effort to evaluate TRIM (Timber Resource Inventory Model) for the next RPA National Assessment, a study was conducted using natural pine stands in North Carolina. TRIM has been used for regional timber supply studies in both the Pacific Northwest and the South (Southern Timber Supply Study)....

Estimating a juniper biomass supply from private rangelands : the impact of distance and biotic factors on costs

Creator:: McCaulou, Jeff C.
Abstract:: Central Oregon has attracted attention as a potential location for a biomass industry based on a locally fixed source of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) feedstock. This study identifies a supply of juniper from private lands to determine how much of the available juniper is economically supplied at alternative prices...

A comparison of the value of forest plans developed under three levels of detail regarding management intentions

Creator:: Hirte, Sarah Rebecca
Abstract:: In the field of forest planning, assumptions regarding the appropriate modeling of management behavior, translated through management prescriptions, minimum harvest ages, green-up periods, and other variables are needed if a stand-level optimization process is not used to guide the selection of stand management regimes Forest planners thus generally have a...
