  • Agricultural cooperatives and their international business arrangements

    Creator:
    Henderson, Erin Michael
    Abstract:
    World food markets are becoming increasingly interconnected as firms seek to sell their products not only in domestic markets but in international ones as well. Moreover, processed and high-value consumer-oriented products represent an increasing share of total agricultural exports. This growing international market may have implications for the future competitiveness...

  • The forest and the mainframe : the dynamics of modeling and field study in the Coniferous Forest Biome, 1969-1980

    Creator:
    Long, Tulley A.
    Abstract:
    In an initial research proposal of December 1969, the scientists of the Coniferous Forest Biome (CFB), an ecosystem study centered in the Pacific Northwest and part of the larger International Biological Programme (IBP), expressed optimism that computer simulations and systems modeling could transform empirical knowledge of the carbon, water, and...

  • Fish Tales: Salmon Stories, 1945-1980

    Creator:
    Finley, Carmel
    Abstract:
    Approximately $1 billion a year is spent on salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Spending has escalated, yet the number of wild runs placed under the protection of the Endangered Species Act has increased, creating social and political controversy. For more than 100 years, salmon management in the Pacific Northwest has...

  • An investigation of the light capture properties of the XEPHWICH, a phoswich radiation detection system

    Creator:
    Jones, Sean E.
    Abstract:
    The XEPHWICH system is a phoswich type (multiple scintillator) radiation detector designed to detect several radioxenon isotopes with the goal of identifying covert nuclear explosions. The XEPHWICH system is designed with the sole purpose of replacing the Automated Radio-xenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) in the United Nation's (UN) Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty's...

  • Quantitative trait loci influencing free-threshing habit and spike morphology in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

    Creator:
    Jantasuriyarat, Chatchawan
    Abstract:
    Spike morphology characteristics and the free-threshing habit of wheat have been extensively investigated because of their evolutionary significance and practical importance. Several genetic systems that govern these traits have been reported. Some studies suggest polygenic inheritance while others have identified major genes. This study was conducted to identify and locate...

  • Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

    Creator:
    Barr, Julie M.
    Abstract:
    Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

  • Independent Volunteer Travelers in Nepal

    Creator:
    Douglas, Heather F.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to shed light on the phenomenon of independent volunteer traveling. It represents a form of tourism in which travelers independently organize their own volunteer efforts and typically provide assistance to local people in return for room and board. Travelers operate outside the confines of...

  • The phytosanitation of solid wood packaging materials using wood preservatives

    Creator:
    Schauwecker, Christoph F.
    Abstract:
    New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...

  • Understanding the impact of climate change on snowpack extent and measurement in the Columbia River Basin and nested sub basins

    Creator:
    Brown, Aimee Lyn
    Abstract:
    Shifting climate patterns in the Columbia River basin are affecting snow pack, and, as a result, stream flow throughout the region. In the Oregon Cascades, ever growing populations, and their associated activities, place increasing stress on an already over allocated hydrologic system. Political pressures, including the possibility of renegotiation or...
