Applying economic benefit transfer to improve the transfer of ecological estimates in ecosystem services research & policy

Creator:: Errend, Melissa N.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to advance the methodology and thought regarding the transferability of ecological estimates of ecosystem services. Conceptually and in practice, ecological estimate transfer parallels economic benefit transfer in ecosystem services research and policy, yet the literature for benefit transfer predates ecological estimate transfer by several...

Creator:: Fried, Brett M.
Abstract:: Public agencies need information on the value of recreational activities to assist in managing fish and wildlife species. Over the past two decades economists have developed and applied techniques to measure the value of such non-marketed commodities. The contingent valuation method (CVM) is one technique used by economists to measure...

A bioeconomic analysis of altering instream flows anadromous fish production and competing demands for water in the John Day River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, Neal S.
Abstract:: The growing demand for water in the arid regions of the West increases the need for optimal allocation of water among competing uses. An efficient allocation of water between instream and out-of-stream uses has been impeded by institutional constraints and the scarcity of information regarding instream flow benefits. The objectives...

Exploratory studies of the mechanism of 1,3 sigmatropic ring expansion reactions

Creator:: James, Corinne Patricia
Abstract:: The potassium salts of certain 1-vinylcycloalk-3-en-l-ols have been found to undergo sigmatropic ring expansion rearrangements in HMPA. Preliminary investigations of several benzo-substituted medium ring systems were undertaken in order to determine which of these was best suited for further study. A synthetic sequence leading to the formation of 5-methy1-6-viny1-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6-benzocyclo-octenol, which...
