The use of LiDAR to identify forest transportation networks

Creator:: Beck, Storm J. C.
Abstract:: The production of high value non-conventional products, such as long utility poles; or the production of low value bulky products, such as chips or grindings; provide opportunities for forest owners to increase value from their forests. The transport of these products requires the use of specialized trucks and trailers. However,...

Development of a test method for assessing water repellency and derived physical stability of preservative systems for railroad ties

Creator:: Beck, H. Greeley
Abstract:: Resistance to moisture uptake is an important attribute of some wood preservatives and can help reduce moisture cycling that leads to the development of deep checks. While the potential for preservative treatments to help improve wood/moisture interactions is acknowledged, there are no tests that specifically evaluate this performance parameter. Checking...

Himeradine A : synthetic efforts towards himeradine A and related natural products, a Michael reaction focused approach

Creator:: Collett, Nathan D.
Abstract:: Lycopodium alkaloids have generated enormous amounts of interest from the scientific community, both as synthetic targets and for their medicinal properties. Herein is described work towards a unifying approach to large segments of the Lycopodium family. An organocatalyzed intramolecular heteroatom Michael reaction method, for the construction of piperidine and piperizine...

Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

Creator:: Carlson, Erik
Abstract:: Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

Variations of Mathematics in College Algebra Instruction : An Investigation Through the Lenses of Three Observation Protocols

Creator:: Gibbons, Claire J.
Abstract:: College Algebra is a prerequisite for calculus and is thus an important stepping stone in the careers of STEM-intending undergraduates. However, College Algebra has low pass rates across the United States, interrupting students’ pathways to success. To address this concern, a research-oriented university in the Northwest United States restructured its...
