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...

Computer simulation of offtracking of truck and trailer combinations using forest roads

Creator:: Erkert, Thomas W.
Abstract:: Many of the analytical techniques that are currently available are not capable of analyzing the offtracking of truck and trailer combinations or the path of load overhangs through a set of curves that are commonly found on forest roads. Advances in the processing speed of microcomputers have made it possible...

Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy (solar and wind) on Water, Food and Energy Nexus

Creator:: Hassanpour Adeh, Elnaz
Abstract:: Rapid increasing of renewable energies and the knowledge about their environmental effects are very limited. As a result, the renewable energies (e.g. solar or wind energies) will play a vital role in the future because it is well accepted by environmental friendly industries. This dissertation presents the modeling, data analysis...

The Application of Linear Programming for Forest Land Use and Timber Management Planning with Watershed Considerations in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia

Creator:: Mat Isa, Ahmad Zainal
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of Linear Programming (LP) and other mathematical procedures to evaluate watershed and perpetuity constraints on forest land use for a selected scenario in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. The paper describes the system of modelling and forecasting estimates of potential timber growth,...

Snow Grain Evolution in Forested and Open Regions – Implications for Remote Sensing

Creator:: Weiss, Sydney G.
Abstract:: Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a critical measurement in hydrology and water resources management. Microwave remote sensing can estimate snow water equivalent (SWE). However, the algorithms used to estimate SWE require snow grain size information. Thus, determining snow grain size is pertinent to estimate SWE. Currently, there are several models...

An advanced inventory method for forest roads

Creator:: Gorsevski, Peter (Pece) V.
Abstract:: This thesis presents the idea for FORIN (Forest Roads Inventory), a computerized forest roads inventory system. FORIN is a tool to more efficiently inventory and manage information of forest roads. FORIN is intended for use by field personnel, who will use pen-based computers to improve productivity, accuracy of inventories, to...

Soil Moisture Encodes Plant Water Use Strategies

Creator:: Bassiouni, Maoya
Abstract:: Resilient water, food, and energy management strategies for an ever-growing population and changing environment depends on our understanding of water and carbon cycles from local to global scales. Fluxes of water and carbon are coupled by photosynthesis and plant transpiration cycles the largest fraction of terrestrial water from the land...

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...

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....

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...
