Oceanographic effects on the dynamics of food habits and growth condition of some groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lee, Yong Woo
Abstract:: Marine fish are subject to direct and indirect oceanographic variations operating at short and long time scales. In this study feeding habits and long-term growth condition of several groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest are examined to understand the relationship between variations in the fish's biological and life history components...

Modeling conservation incentives for private landowners

Creator:: Langpap, Christian
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three papers on the use of incentives for conservation of endangered species on private land. The first paper examines incentives based on providing landowners with assurances regarding future regulation in exchange for their participation in a conservation agreement. The second and third papers are empirical analyses...

Performance measures funding : the journey of one Washington Community College

Creator:: Nisson, Blaine D.
Abstract:: The study was designed to gain an understanding of the implementation of Performance Measures Funding at one Washington State community college. The research participants included the nine individuals who were charged with the design and implementation of the college's Improvement Plan, which addressed the four legislatively, prescribed goals outlined in...

An analysis of consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products

Creator:: Anderson, Roy Carl
Abstract:: Historically, researchers have used surveys, focus groups, and anecdotal evidence to evaluate consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products. These methods generally measure consumer attitudes toward certified forest products. Since the strength of the correlation between attitudes and behavior has long been questioned, consumer response to certified forest products...

Examination of consumer activism and its impacts : an empirical study of the Korean consumer movement

Creator:: Moon, Eunsook
Abstract:: Has consumer activism been successful in its efforts to effect social, political, and economic changes and to empower consumers? This research seeks to answer this question by developing a viable evaluation framework for conceptualizing and measuring impacts of consumer activism. The Political Process Model and New Social Movement Theory provide...

Thinning with prescribed fire and timber harvesting mechanization for fuels reduction and forest restoration

Creator:: Matzka, Peter J.
Abstract:: In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip harvesters and three forwarders produced significantly different production rates. For the harvesters, significant variables that affected production rates were found to be:...

Studies in preparative chromatography

Creator:: Zhang, Ling
Abstract:: Preparative chromatography is the most widely used purification method in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Here, one theoretical and one practical problem of preparative chromatography are investigated. The theoretical problem deals with the effect of experimental error on the precision of adsorption isotherm parameters estimated by numerical method. Numerical method...

Evolution of volcanism and hydrothermal activity in the Yanacocha Mining District, northern Perú

Creator:: Longo, Anthony A.
Abstract:: The Yanacocha Mining District in northern Perú is considered the largest group of high-sulfidation style epithermal gold deposits in the world. District-scale geologic mapping coupled with detailed 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, geochemistry and petrography establish the volcanic history of the area and analyze the temporal and spatial evolution of volcanism, hypogene advanced...

Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

Creator:: Hu, Jiqing
Abstract:: Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...
