Development of a methodology for containership load planning

Creator:: Cho, Doug Woon
Abstract:: Ship turnaround time at a marine containerport is an important measure of the port's efficiency and attractiveness. Both the speed and quality of load planning affect the length of turnaround time considerably. Past attempts at computerizing the load planning function have been unsatisfactory and have not reflected the port's objective...

The use of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in assessing changes in stream morphology and vegetation

Creator:: Laliberte, Andrea S.
Abstract:: Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are well known tools for the study of time change analysis in natural systems. However, long-term studies of riparian systems using large-scale aerial photography are less common. The purpose of this project was to combine large scale aerial photography, GIS, Global Positioning Systems...

Scrotal circumference measurements as an indicator of growth in the male beef animal

Creator:: Pirelli, Gene J.
Abstract:: Testes size as an indicator of future growth was examined in a total of 45 bull calves from spring calves born in 1978 and 1979. Scrotal circumference measurements were used as the physical indicator of testicle size in the live animal. Growth traits studied were preweaning average daily gain, weaning...

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...

A comparison of vegetation suppression and sod-seeding methods using perennial ryegrass in renovation of non-irrigated permament pastures in western Oregon

Creator:: Neumeister, John H.
Abstract:: Sod-seeding techniques offer graziers a convenient way to introduce superior grass cultivars into underproductive permanent pastures. Production loss and erosion are minimized. In conjunction with improved grazing management and fertilization, renovation can significantly improve yield and quality of pastures. Existent vegetation must be suppressed prior to introducing new cultivars. This...

Diet selection by conditioned and unconditioned goats in the sagebrush steppe of Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Richman, Lesley M.
Abstract:: This research examined the diets of angora goats on a sagebrush bunchgrass rangeland. Research objectives were to 1) determine the effects of a positive conditioning method on both mature and immature angora goats; and 2) to quantify plant selection and provide preliminary information as to the potential for using goats...

Possible compensations of the components of grain yeild in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as influenced by genotype by environment interactions

Creator:: Bedoshvili, David
Abstract:: Despite many investigations genotype by environment interaction remains one of the least understood factors in plant improvement. Understanding genotypic differences responsible for such interactions could assist in making more informed breeding decisions. The components of yield being less complex than grain yield per se may be useful for selection to...

Preschoolers' hostile attribution, aggressive behavior and relationships with their mothers' attributional style, parenting behavior and affect

Creator:: Katsurada, Emiko
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to find out about the associations between hostile attributional bias and aggressive behaviors among preschool-aged children and to identify possible sources of their hostile attributional bias. Seventy-two preschoolers with an average age of 4.76 and their mothers acted as participants. Children's hostile attributional bias...

The use of logistic regression for developing habitat association models

Creator:: Sjamsoe'oed, Roza
Abstract:: Quantitative habitat models of wildlife-habitat relationships are developed to formalize our current understanding about an ecological system. A habitat association model is one of these models that is useful for answering questions about how the habitat is occupied, how much growth habitat is required by the animal, or how the...

Analysis of hydrology and erosion in small, paired watersheds in a juniper-sagebrush area of central Oregon

Creator:: Fisher, Michael, (Michael Patrick), 1966-
Abstract:: Current research indicates that the expansion of western juniper can inhibit soil water retention, storage and prolonged releases from watersheds. This phenomenon is of great importance in eastern Oregon, as western juniper is encroaching into sagebrush/grass communities with a correlated reduction in herbaceous ground cover, resulting in reduced infiltration rates...

Carbonation perception : lexicon development and time-intensity studies

Creator:: Harper, Steven James
Abstract:: A lexicon describing the sensory perception of carbonated water was developed. Temporal aspects and differing ingestion conditions were investigated for Bite and Burn sensation using time-intensity (T-I). Four CO₂ levels (0, 1.7, 2.8, and 4.6 volumes) at 3°C and 10°C were tested. Trained panelists used a 16-pt category scale for...

The influence of environmental and physical factors on the thermal patterns of headwater streams

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: A case study was performed in 2000 and 2001 to characterize the thermal pattern of four morphologically similar eastern Oregon streams and to identify the physical and environmental factors that expressed significant and functionally viable relationships with stream temperature (daily maximum, daily minimum and daily rate of heating). Stream and...

Possible associations of soluble carbohydrates with chemical desiccation and drought resistance in winter wheat

Creator:: Cerono, Julio Cesar
Abstract:: Drought is a major limiting abiotic stress influencing wheat production in many parts of the world. The erratic nature of water deficits makes breeding and selection for drought resistance deficient. In environments with late season drought stress, yield losses are usually associated with kernel abortion or reduction in kernel growth....

Effects of host resistance on Mycosphaerella graminicola populations

Creator:: Cowger, Christina
Abstract:: Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) causes Septoria tritici blotch, a globally important disease of winter wheat. Resistance and pathogenicity generally vary quantitatively. The pathogen reproduces both sexually and asexually, and the pathogen population is highly genetically variable. Several unresolved questions about the epidemiology of this pathosystem are addressed by this...

Use of combining ability estimates to identify the genetic potential of selected winter parental lines (Triticum aestivum L.em Thell)

Creator:: Masood, Muhammad Shahid
Abstract:: A major factor limiting the efficiency of plant improvement programs is the lack of knowledge as to which parental combinations to make when working with quantitatively inherited traits. The primary objective of this study was to provide information regarding the use of combining ability analysis to predict which cross combinations...
