  • Effect of high temperature drying on bending and shear strengths of western hemlock

    Creator:
    Thiam, Massamba
    Abstract:
    The advantages of high-temperature drying are faster drying, reduced inventory, reduced energy requirements, and reduced equilibrium moisture content. However the disadvantages are higher initial costs of the kiln, greater power needs, knot dropout, and reduction in some strength properties. The latter was the subject of this study. Three hundred pieces...

  • Assessment of impacts of Canada geese on wheat production

    Creator:
    Louhaichi, Mounir
    Abstract:
    Numbers of wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have increased dramatically during the past 30 years in the lower Columbia and Willamette Valley systems. The damage they cause by grazing and trampling plants can be substantial. The objectives of this research were to: 1) Develop methods that provide reliable estimates of...

  • Hormesis effects in pinto beans from ⁶⁰Co gamma radiation

    Creator:
    Boone, Darren M.
    Abstract:
    Exposure to moderately high levels of ionizing radiation (<20 Gy) has in some instances shown a hormetic effect in numerous vegetable-type crops. Past experiments performed in outdoor cultivars have shown a somewhat unpredictable increase in growth rate with a higher overall yield in a specified time when the seeds are...

  • An investigation of cultural cohesion and value divergence in a community bank

    Creator:
    Payne, Bryce M.
    Abstract:
    Interest in organizational culture has grown enormously over the last twenty years and much effort has gone into investigating the relationship between organizational culture and performance. Because most research to date has focused on large organizations, we chose to investigate the culture in a community bank undergoing a cultural transformation....

  • Preparation and laboratory evaluation of stationary-phase iron-oxide-based adsorbents for removal of metals from waste waters

    Creator:
    May, Michael Lee
    Abstract:
    Several potential sorbent materials containing iron oxides were prepared and evaluated for potential to remove divalent metals from waste waters. These included a ferrihydrite-coated sand, maghemite incorporated in Dowex[Trademark] ion exchange resin, gothite and two thermally activated ferrihydrites. Attempts to prepare sorbents from steel shot by coating with ferrihydrite or...

  • Quantifying product development efforts : a methodology

    Creator:
    Boer, Michael R.
    Abstract:
    Product development efforts are extremely important to a company's success in today's global competitive business environment. Yet, these highly consequential efforts are terribly nebulous to a point that past experiences are inherently underutilized. This thesis demonstrates a methodology to quantify past product development efforts in an attempt to better utilize...

  • The Maturest Deliberation : Colonial Pennsylvania Currency in Depression and War

    Creator:
    Borden, John F.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to review Pennsylvania's use of paper money through two distinct periods: the first seven years of currency issues starting in 1723 and concluding in 1730, and the second period encompassed by the French and Indian War in 1755-63. They represent two significant periods affecting...

  • Biomass and nutrient dynamics associated with deforestation, biomass burning and conversion to pasture in a tropical dry forest in Mexico

    Creator:
    Steele, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    The effects of deforestation and biomass burning in tropical dry forests (TDF) remain a little studied phenomenon. We quantified total aboveground biomass (TAGB), carbon and nutrient (N,S,Ca,P,K) loss under two separate fire severity scenarios; one early when the fuels were higher in moisture content, one later when the slash fuels...

  • Using a single-well push-pull test to estimate mass transfer rate parameters

    Creator:
    Kelley, Michael John
    Abstract:
    More efficient methods are needed for the in-situ evaluation of mass transfer parameters which describe the movement of solutes through aquifer material. The objective of this study was to develop a method for estimating diffusion rate and capacity coefficients using a single-well, "push-pull" tracer test. The method consists of the...
