The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

Creator:: Im, Eun Ho
Abstract:: This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

An analysis of technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmill industry

Creator:: Helvoigt, Ted L.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to investigate technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmilling industry over the period 1968-2002. Productivity growth was decomposed into three components: technical change, efficiency change, and scale efficiency change. In addition, using econometric methods, changes in output elasticities and input substitution...

Balancing Timber Production and Conservation in the Oregon Coast Range: an Examination of the Response by Birds and Bird-induced Ecosystem Services to Forest Management at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Harris, Scott H.
Abstract:: Society derives many critical and irreplaceable values from forests. With a growing global human population and rates of consumption, forests are under increasing pressure to provide all these values simultaneously. To meet societal demands for wood products, tree plantations are becoming increasingly common and are replacing native forests. Yet, forests...

Evaluating safety at Oregon‘s isolated, high-speed, signalized intersections

Creator:: Kopper, Neil H.
Abstract:: Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...

Amplification of solitary waves along a vertical wall

Creator:: Li, Wenwen
Abstract:: Reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall is studied experimentally in the laboratory wave tank. Precision measurements of water-surface variations are achieved with the aid of laser-induced fluorescent (LIF) technique and detailed temporal and spatial features of the Mach reflection are captured. During the development stage...

Economic modeling of tropical deforestation in Antioquia (Colombia), 1980-2000 : an analysis at a semi-fine scale with spatially explicit data

Creator:: Orrego, Sergio A.
Abstract:: This dissertation used land rent theory and an economic model of land-use conversion to examine the main drivers of the deforestation occurred in Antioquia,Colombia, between 1980 and 2000. Land-cover information at a semi-fine scale (1:25,000) obtained largely from aerial photography was employed to calculate deforestation. In addition, free international databases...

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...

Right-hook crash causality at signalized intersections

Creator:: Jannat, Mafruhatul
Abstract:: A Right-hook (RH) crash is a common type of bicycle-motor vehicle crash that occurs between a right-turning vehicle and through-moving bicycle at an intersection. At signalized intersections, RH crashes can occur at the onset of the green or during the latter portion of the green phase. In spite of the...

Investigation of Iron Passivity and Chloride-induced Depassivation in Alkaline Electrolytes using Reactive Force Field Molecular Dynamics (ReaxFF-MD)

Creator:: Dormohammadi, Hossein
Abstract:: The corrosion and passivity of iron (and carbon steel) in media with different alkalinity as well as iron depassivation have been studied extensively using electrochemical methods and nano-scale surface characterization studies. The electrochemical techniques provide valuable information about the average electrochemical behavior of relatively large metal surfaces, typically in centimeter-square...

Stochastic analysis of the nonlinear response transition behavior of an ocean system

Creator:: Yuk, Dongjun
Abstract:: The nonlinear response of an ocean system subjected to random excitations can exhibit very complex dynamic behaviors including jump phenomena and coexistence of attractors. In this study, the stochastic system response behavior of a simple (Duffing) oscillator under narrow-band random excitations is first examined in the subharmonic resonance region. A...
