I believe quetzal and aguacatillo are the key species in the cloud forests in Cerro de la Muerte because they are biologically and culturally valuable. This value contributes to ecotourism, which eventually becomes of economic benefit to local people. In this paper, I examine how the cloud forest conservation and...
We studied the effect of a lactic acid bacterial additive on the quality of silage made of grass-legume mixtures in the forest steppe zone of Mongolia. The use of lactic acid bacterial ferment positively influenced the diet digestion and the cows silage consumption. The cows ate well the silage treated...
We assessed a photographic technique to estimate shrub yield and utilization of common snowberry, snowbrush, and heart-leafed willow found in mixed-conifer rangelands. We determined the correlation between green leaf area size (LA) and forage yield (Y) and compared plant utilization estimated by photographic technique (ULA) to actual utilization (UY) values....
The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and Oregon State University (OSU) are collaborating to develop an orthoimagery portal application to allow for the distribution of digital aerial imagery for the State of Oregon. The near-term objective of this project is to develop an Imagery Portal that serves the

Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers' debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...
ExcelForms is a front end Excel-based application that supports Forms/3, a research
language based on the spreadsheet paradigm, end-user software engineering features.
The old implementation of ExcelForms performed poorly, and was considered
unstable, not robust, and not scalable enough for our users' needs. This project
addresses these issues by implementing...
