Radically reframing environmental problems : The Salmon 2100 case study

Creator:: Lane, David Earl
Abstract:: There are typically two responses to the complex environmental problems of our time: 1) doom and gloom and 2) optimism. There is a lot of doom and gloom in the environmental literature. This literature warns that the future portends danger for humans and their life support systems. But when one...

Investigating arc behavior in a DC vacuum arc remelting furnace using magnetic flux density measurements

Creator:: Woodside, Rigel
Abstract:: The behavior of a metal vapor plasma arc in a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnace is believed to contribute to the formation of defects in reactive metal and super-alloy ingots. Industry standard instrumentation, which includes electric current and voltage measurements, can asses the stability of an arc but cannot predict...

Arc distribution and motion during the vacuum arc remelting process as detected with a magnetostatic approach

Creator:: Woodside, Rigel
Abstract:: Currently, the temporal arc distribution across the ingot during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process is not a known or monitored parameter. It is has previously been shown that arcs can spatially constrict during VAR, and this constriction can lead to undesired defects in the material. Additionally, correct accounting for...

Archaeological Symbols of Status and Authority : Fort Hoskins. Oregon. 1856-1865

Creator:: Bowyer, Gary C.
Abstract:: Fort Hoskins is located near Kings Valley, approximately 16 miles from Corvallis. The Fort, built after the Rogue Wars of the 1850s, was intended to safeguard the newly created Indian reserves. During its' ten-years of existence, U.S. Army Regulars manned the Fort from 1856-1861 while volunteers from California, Washington, and...

Deterministic and stochastic control of nonlinear oscillations in ocean structural systems

Creator:: King, Paul E.
Abstract:: Complex oscillations including chaotic motions have been identified in off-shore and submerged mooring systems characterized by nonlinear fluid-structure interactions and restoring forces. In this paper, a means of controlling these nonlinear oscillations is addressed. When applied, the controller is able to drive the system to periodic oscillations of arbitrary periodicity....
