Modelling Early-Seral Vegetation Dynamics Using Climate and Soil Moisture

Creator:: Guevara, Claudio A.
Abstract:: Forest plantations in the Pacific Northwest are highly productive and have been intensively managed to maximize tree growth with practices such as Forest Vegetation Management (FVM). Different FVM regimes have been shown to enhance forest establishment by reducing the competition between the planted seedlings and early-seral vegetation. To better understand...

Characteristics of pools used by adult summer steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Steamboat Creek Basin, North Umpqua River, Oregon

Creator:: Baigun, Claudio Rafael Mariano
Abstract:: This study examined features of deep pool (>0.8 m mean depth) used by adult summer steelhead in Steamboat Creek (1991-1992). Steamboat Creek had a heterogenous thermal profile, with some segments exceeding preferred temperature of steelhead. Deep pools were scarce (4% of the total habitat units) and 39% of them were...

Sequencing using Surrogate Values on Paced Assembly Lines

Creator:: Alfaiz, Faisal S.
Abstract:: On a paced mixed-model assembly line various product variants are assembled in the same sequence of serially arranged workstations that make up the line. The goal is to assemble the products with the lowest cost possible while meeting demand requirements. Since the work content of product variants may differ at...

Is Resistance Futile: Examining Fitness Costs Associated with QoI Resistance in E. necator

Creator:: Newbold, Chelsea L.
Abstract:: Quinone outside Inhibitor (QOI) fungicides are one of the most widely used fungicide classes (FRAC 11) in the world. This popularity is the result of their ability to effectively manage a wide array of economically important pathogen species on a broad range of crops. While having mostly preventative activity, some...

Moisture Resistance of Wood-Based Composite Materials

Creator:: Molina, Luis
Abstract:: Dimensional stability of wood-based composites with changing moisture content remains an important challenge in the industry for many applications. Wood modification technologies have shown significant improvement in dimensional stability by altering the chemistry of the wood substrate, or by filling the available space in the wood microstructure that otherwise would...

Collaborative Metacognition and Decision Making in a Signal Detection Task

Creator:: Duncan-Reid, Jackson
Abstract:: When decision makers work collaboratively, their combined performance can exceed the performance of even the best group member working alone. However, despite the potential for performance gains when working in a group, collaborating individuals often show poor coordination and losses of motivation, and are generally inefficient at combining their resources...

Evolutionary Approach for a Multi–Objective Spare Parts Location–Inventory Problem with Time–Based Service Levels

Creator:: Rajaraman, Prasanna Venkatesh
Abstract:: Facility location-allocation decisions and inventory stocking decisions are very important in spare parts logistics. Both sets of decisions affect total costs in the system and the service levels that can be achieved by establishing distances between customers and distribution centers (DCs) in facility location-allocation, and by determining the availability of...

Spatiotemporal Drivers of Seabird Distribution at the Pacific Marine Energy Center off Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Porquez, Jessica M.
Abstract:: The central Oregon coast was selected as an ideal site for wave energy development and establishment of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC). PMEC will consist of two nearshore sites, one north (NETS) and one south (SETS) of the Yaquina River, Oregon. Our study aims to assess how the development...

Effects of Subsampling Trees and Imputation Methods on the Accuracy of Height-to-Crown-Base Predictions for Douglas-fir in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Allensworth, Elijah J.
Abstract:: Accurate estimates of height-to-crown-base (HTCB) are essential for the reliable projections of stand structure over time required for sustainable forest management. Yet, HTCB often measured alongside total height (HT) for only for a subsample of trees in traditional stand-based inventories and must be imputed for all others. We compared the...

Long-term Effects of Vegetation Management on Biomass Stock and Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Four Coniferous Species in the PNW

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman N., Jr.
Abstract:: Forest vegetation management (FVM) is an important component of reforestation in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of vegetation management on planted conifer growth and survival. However, few reports have been published on the long-term effects of FVM treatments on total ecosystem biomass accumulation and aboveground...
