An investigation of the effects of immersed heat exchanger tube spacing and arrangement on the quality of fluidization in a cold phase two-dimensional fluidized bed

Creator:: Lockwood, Dwight Norris
Abstract:: The feasibility of fluidized bed combustion of coal for commercial and industrial steam power generation has been established and reported in the literature. Satisfactory removal of sulfur oxides from the combustion product gases has also been reported. In this experiment various heat exchanger tube patterns, of commercial size tubes, were...

Seasonal variation of wind gustiness in a portion of the Columbia Gorge

Creator:: Baker, Robert W.
Abstract:: The seasonal variation of wind speed fluctuations is studied at four locations in The Dalles area of the Columbia River Gorge. Three of the sites are located in or near the valley floor while the fourth site is on top of a 900 m (3000 ft) ridge just north of...

Holocene sediments of the South Atlantic Ocean : the calcite compensation depth and concentrations of calcite, opal and quartz

Creator:: Ellis, David Burl
Abstract:: The concentrations of calcite, opal and quartz have been measured in 113 South Atlantic core tops. The remainder of the total sample has been calculated as clay. A method for the quantitative determination of opal has been developed. Calcite is the dominant factor in South Atlantic sediments; its pattern can...

The ecology of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) foraging in Pacific Northwest ecosystems

Creator:: Evans-Peters, Sara Tondee
Abstract:: Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were first successfully introduced into Oregon and Washington in the 1960s; the population has grown in size and expanded in distribution to a point where it provides an important recreational hunting opportunity in both states that generates significant funds for habitat conservation and contributes financially to...

A methodology for evaluating acceptance of a regional drug information service : assessment in the patient care setting

Creator:: Brown, Ronald Ray
Abstract:: This paper describes a methodology developed for evaluating the acceptance of a regional drug information service in providing patient-specific information. This methodology employs a blinded study design and uses activity in the patient chart for determining the acceptance of information. A total of 60 requests were referred to the regional...

Survival, movements and habitat selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) on the Great Basin of southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada

Creator:: Crawford, Justin A.
Abstract:: I investigated survival, movements, home range sizes, and habitat selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada from June 2005 to June 2007. I trapped 298 rabbits on four sites and fitted each with radio transmitters. More than 13,000 locations of telemetered rabbits were recorded. I...

Assessing Renesting Rate and Survey Methods of Red Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius), a Polyandrous Arctic-breeding Shorebird

Creator:: Cosgrove, Jillian M.
Abstract:: The life history traits of polygamous, non-territorial shorebirds like the Red Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius) can make it challenging to assess their population status. There are two general approaches to statistical inference used to understand shorebird (Order: Charadriiformes) population change: design-based inference, which implements an a-priori sampling scheme with known selection...

The effect of wood density on the kraft pulping properties of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:: Promachotikool, Montree
Abstract:: Three samples of different wood densities of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) were cooked by the kraft process. The yields and the Kappa numbers were studied to establish the rates and the energies of activation of the pulping and delignification reactions respectively. Wood properties did not show significant effects on...

Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.
Abstract:: The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...
