  • Three studies on the role of uncertainty in the valuation and management of renewable natural resources

    Creator:
    Burnes, Ellen Irene
    Abstract:
    These three papers address uncertainty in the management and valuation of renewable natural resources. The first paper develops a model to integrate both stock and price uncertainty to obtain optimal resource levels. The model is an extension of Reed (1974) and shows by proof and by example that when prices...

  • The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

    Creator:
    Ellis, D. Erik
    Abstract:
    The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

  • Fractal solutions to the long wave equations

    Creator:
    Ajiwibowo, Harman
    Abstract:
    The fractal dimension of measured ocean wave profiles is found to be in the range of 1.5-1.8. This non-integer dimension indicates the fractal nature of the waves. Standard formulations to analyze waves are based on a differential approach. Since fractals are non-differentiable, this formulation fails for waves with fractal characteristics....

  • 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...

  • The equations of motion of a deformable saturated porous medium with micropolar structure

    Creator:
    Dixon, Leonard T.
    Abstract:
    The micropolar equations of motion are developed, in a very general form, for a mixture of fluid and solid particles. The fluid is allowed to move differently than the solids, and the solids are modeled as a micropolar continuum. That is, the solid particles have an additional degree of freedom...
