An evaluation of strategies for hedging feeder cattle in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Gatti, Andrew Leo
Abstract:: Over the past decade, feeder cattle backgrounders in the Pacific Northwest have been subject to sharp price fluctuations for their output. The result has been variable profits and losses. This situation creates a need for management and marketing techniques which can provide Pacific Northwest cattle ranchers with protection against price...

The source area for coarse woody debris in small streams in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:: McDade, Mary Helen
Abstract:: Large organic debris has important biological and physical roles within the stream ecosystem. In order to determine the source area of large organic debris in streams, thirty-nine streams in the Cascade and Coast Ranges of Oregon and Washington were sampled. The distance from point-of-origin to channel was measured for thirty...

Population dynamics, distribution, and control of nematodes in highbush blueberries

Creator:: Schroeder, Jan-Marie
Abstract:: Fluctuations in population density of Pratylenchus sp., Trichodorus sp., and Xiphinema americanum s. 1. in three blueberry fields were determined monthly for one year. Pratylenchus densities were greatest in August and least in October. Three distinct periods of population growth occurred; during January, April, and between June and August. Trichodorus...

Japan's import demand for Pacific Northwest frozen corn and potatoes

Creator:: Jacobsen, Twila M.
Abstract:: A net shift analysis was used to analyze growth in employment and value added from 1954 to 1982 in SIC 2037, Frozen Fruits, Fruit Juices, and Vegetables. This analysis indicated that the Pacific Northwest dominated the growth experienced in this sector over this time period. Oregon's share of total U.S....

Opportunity costs : irrigation vs. hydropower

Creator:: Ross, Mark
Abstract:: In recent years we have seen increasing debate over the allocation of PNW water resources. In particular there are conflicts over using the river system for irrigation vs. electricity production. Denying the hydroelectric system water implies higher costs to electricity consumers as producers substitute more expensive nonhydro resources. This research...

Sensitivity of TRIM projections to management and stocking adjustment assumptions

Creator:: Alexander, Susan J.
Abstract:: The Timber Resource Inventory Model (TRIM) is a computer model used by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service in assessing the state of the Nation's forest resources and the forests' probable future conditions. TRIM is a yield table projection system designed and developed to model forest inventory changes over time in response...

Experimental combustion analysis and development of representative fuel specifications for selected wood and refuse derived fuel pellets from the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Haluzak, Charles Craig
Abstract:: An experimental biomass combustion facility has been built and established at Oregon State University. The furnace, or Biomass Combustion Unit ( BCU ), uses an augertype fuel feed system, grate-type fuel support with under and over fire air supply. Fourteen pellet species from five States - Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho,...

Human-eagle interactions on the lower Columbia River

Creator:: McGarigal, Kevin
Abstract:: During the past decade (1978-87), breeding success and productivity of bald eagles on the lower Columbia River (LCR) has been far below state and regional averages and well below levels required for delisting under the Endangered Species Act by the Pacific States Bald Eagle Recovery Plan. Human disturbance was suspected...

The impact of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 on Pacific Northwest wheat transportation : a spatial equilibrium analysis

Creator:: Cabeza, Felix
Abstract:: This study analyzes the impact of the 1980 Staggers Rail Act (SRA) on Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana) wheat transportation. A minimum cost uncapacitated transshipment network flow model is employed to simulate the origination and destination pattern of grain flows before (1977) and after (1985) the SRA. The...
