The delineation of landslides in the Lincoln County, Oregon coastal zone

Creator:: Gentile, John Richard
Abstract:: A study conducted along the Lincoln County, Oregon coast delineated the exact location of 153 landslides. The landslides were found through the interpretation of aerial photographs. Each landslide was verified in the field and its class (ancient, historic, recent), type (slump, debris slide or flow, planar slide), and status (stable,...

The iterative thermal emission Monte Carlo method for thermal radiative transfer

Creator:: Long, Alex R.
Abstract:: For over 30 years, the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method has been used to solve challenging problems in thermal radiative transfer. These problems are typically optically thick and di ffusive, as a consequence of the high degree of "pseudo-scattering" introduced to model the absorption and reemission of photons from a...

The value of short run in-stream temperature forecasts : an application to salmonids in the Klamath and John Day Rivers

Creator:: Huang, Biao
Abstract:: Water temperature is an important measure of water quality, as well as a dominant factor affecting aquatic life within the stream environment. Elevated water temperatures can decrease the survival rate of fish in each life stage. Cold water species, such as salmonids, are particularly susceptible to elevated water temperatures. For...

The geography of the apple industry of the Chelan Valley, Washington

Creator:: Detering, Floyd John
Abstract:: The Chelan Valley is one of several valleys located on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains contributing to the leadership of Washington in apple production. Since the nature of the activity in the Chelan Valley is typical of all these producing areas,it was selected as a case study of...

Modeling surface water and groundwater interactions near Milton-Freewater, Oregon

Creator:: Petrides Jimenez, Aristides Crisostomos
Abstract:: The gravel aquifer of the Oregon side of Walla Walla River Basin has a strong hydrologic connection to surface water through a series of springs, unlined irrigation canals, the Walla Walla River, numerous wells and, since 2004, artificial recharge to the shallow aquifer using infiltration basins. The finite element Integrated...

Design considerations for a miniature atmospheric engine with a magnet-actuated autonomously-reciprocating in-cylinder regenerator for portable power production

Creator:: Yarger, David J.
Abstract:: Driven by the need for high energy-density power sources, demand has stimulated the development of small-scale engines. A small-scale engine with a fuel supply could replace batteries and utilize higher energy-density liquid hydrocarbon fuels; such an advance could deliver a new age of portable devices. Currently, operable small-scale engines exist;...

The recreation potential of the Stewiake River

Creator:: LeDuc, John Michael
Abstract:: Rivers are becoming increasingly popular recreation resources as land and water use competition intensifies. The first river basin board in Nova Scotia was formed to manage the Shubenacadie-Stewiake Rivers under multiple use objectives. The board required an estimation of the recreation resources of the Stewiake River and after a review...

The impact of National Interstate Route 5 on adjacent non-agricultural land uses in the Willamette Valley, from Salem to Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Preston, John Phillip
Abstract:: The impacts of modern limited-access highways on the spatial distribution of non-agricultural development, and their influence in the shaping of occupancy patterns, are far-reaching and should be of eminent concern to all Americans. The location of the Interstate routes, with 80 percent of their 41,000 miles crossing rural localities, renders...

An evaluation of minimum lot area parcels in Clackamas and Yamhill County farm use zones

Creator:: De Tar, John G.
Abstract:: Retaining agricultural land was a significant concern of Oregon legislatures throughout the l960s and 1970s. Willamette Valley counties primarily use a minimum lot area standard to retain land for agricultural use. Lot area standards used in portions of Yamhill and Clackamas Counties play a conservative force in each county's land...

Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

Creator:: Meier, Richard John
Abstract:: In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...
