Stand development after 20-years of growth in Douglas-fir and red alder mixtures

Creator:: Garrelts, Brennan T.
Abstract:: This study examines the long-term role of interference on stand development of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) planted mixtures in the Central Cascades of Oregon, USA. The two species are common associates in naturally regenerated and planted conifer stands in the Pacific Northwest. Due...

Improved efficiency in medium-power flyback converters

Creator:: Ruttanapaibooncharoen, Surin
Abstract:: Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS's) not only convert energy, they also consume it. Typical operational efficiencies are approximately 25 to 60% for linear power supplies, and approximately 50-90% for switching power supplies. This means that products whose end-use electronics are dc, such as televisions and DVD players, could consume 50% less...
