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...

Determining optimal timber harvest and fuel treatment on a fire-threatened landscape using approximate dynamic programming

Creator:

Lauer, Christopher Joseph

Abstract:

Forest management in the face of fire risk is a challenging problem because fire spreads across a landscape and because its occurrence is unpredictable. Additionally, management must be adjusted over time as unpredictable fire events are realized. Land managers have some control over the vegetation conditions that facilitate fire spread,...

Efficient transformation of pinaceous gymnosperm cells by Agrobacterium

Creator:

Morris, John W. (John William), 1954-

Abstract:

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacteriwn rhizogenes, the causal agents of crown gall disease and hairy root disease, are known for their ability to transfer part of their DNA (the T-DNA) from the bacterial tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid to the genome of the host plant. Interest has focused on these bacteria because they...

Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Creator:

Acuna, Mauricio A.

Abstract:

There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...

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...
