  • Buoy and satellite observation of wind induced surface heat exchange in the intraseasonal oscillation over West Pacific and Indian Ocean

    Creator:
    Araligidad, Nilesh
    Abstract:
    The importance of wind-driven latent heat fluxes for supporting tropical intraseasonal precipitation variability is analyzed. Tropical intraseasonal variability in the west pacific and Indian ocean is analyzed for northern and southern hemisphere summer during 1999-2005 using satellite and buoy observations. A composite analysis of QuikSCAT ocean vector winds and TRMM...

  • Organizational climate and innovativeness in the forest products industry

    Creator:
    Crespell, Pablo Javier, 1968-
    Abstract:
    There has been an increasing realization of the value of innovativeness, the orientation toward innovation, for firms thriving to gain competitive edge. The US forest products industry is no different in this respect and many companies have active initiatives to bring about creativity from their own employees. At the same...

  • 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...

  • Measuring innovativeness in the North American softwood sawmilling industry

    Creator:
    Knowles, Christopher David
    Abstract:
    Innovativeness, or the propensity of a firm to create and/or adopt new products, process and business systems, has been measured using several methods in previous research. Examples of theses methods include current technology, self-evaluation, research and development funding, the number of new products, and intellectual property. In addition to the...

  • Image feature detection and matching for biological object recognition

    Creator:
    Deng, Hongli
    Abstract:
    Image feature detection and matching are two critical processes for many computer vision tasks. Currently, intensity-based local interest region detectors and local feature-based matching methods are used widely in computer vision applications. But in some applications, such as biological object recognition tasks, within-class changes in pose, lighting, color, and texture...

  • Analysis of the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Mexicans and Mexican Americans

    Creator:
    Sobolik, Julia Silva
    Abstract:
    Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), commonly known as type 2 or delayed onset diabetes, is a recognized growing global epidemic, which is connected to cultural and behavioral factors, such as diet, exercise, obesity, and genetics. In a recent survey of both men and women in Mexico City, the prevalence of...

  • Information space mapping with adaptive multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagrams

    Creator:
    Trubin, Stanislav I.
    Abstract:
    Traditional application of Voronoi diagrams for space partitioning creates Voronoi regions, with areas determined by the generators’ relative locations and weights. Especially in the area of information space (re)construction, however, there is a need for inverse solutions; i.e., finding weights that result in regions with predefined areas. In this thesis,...

  • Age-specific and lifetime reproductive success of known age Northern Spotted Owls on four study areas in Oregon and Washington

    Creator:
    Loschl, Peter J.
    Abstract:
    Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) are a long-lived forest owl and range-wide declines in their numbers have resulted in the species being listed as threatened under the endangered species act. While many studies have been focused on population trends and reproductive performance of Spotted Owls from different age-classes, none...

  • Northern goshawk breeding habitat selection within high-elevation forests of southwestern Colorado

    Creator:
    Ferland, Cheron L.
    Abstract:
    The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is a species of concern in the western United States due to its association with mature structural stage forests. I employed a use-versus-availability study design to quantify the vegetative, physiographic, and landscape variables associated with goshawk breeding habitat selection in the San Juan Mountains of...
