  • Log cost allocation for multiple mill merchandising systems

    Creator:
    Leatherman, Louis M.
    Abstract:
    Co-located mills that share a log resource through a single merchandising facility are challenged with the task of allocating the costs of joint-products in order to determine log cost for each mill during a given period. While allocating joint-costs is inherently arbitrary, some allocation must be made to include raw...

  • Conserved properties in the metagenome of a large bacterioplankton population

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Larry John
    Abstract:
    Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique is the first cultured representative of the SAR11 clade, a clade that is found throughout the oceans and accounts for approximately 25% of all bacterial cells [1]. It has a streamlined genome that is the smallest of any known free-living organism. In this study the complete genome...

  • Indirect effects of fishing on predators and their prey

    Creator:
    Stallings, Christopher Derek
    Abstract:
    Predators are fundamentally important for regulating and driving prey population dynamics as well as structuring ecological communities. Over-exploitation of marine resources has caused dramatic depletions of predatory fish species and shifts in marine community composition, with attendant declines in productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems. Despite the important ramifications of...

  • Finite element modeling of reinforced concrete bridge columns with steel jackets using plastic hinge integration

    Creator:
    Carlton, Adam K.
    Abstract:
    In recent years confinement requirements for concrete columns have increased in seismic regions. Steel jackets are one way to confine reinforced concrete columns. The increased confinement provides additional strength and ductility for the columns during seismic events. For reinforced concrete columns with steel jackets, there are different section properties in...
