Vegetative effects of RNAi-suppression of the poplar homolog of LEAFY in the field

Creator:: Jacobson, Jeremy
Abstract:: Due to public and regulatory restrictions, genetic containment technology is critical for research and development of transgenic trees in forestry. A multi-year field trial demonstrated that the RNAi-LFY construct successfully induces sexual sterility in 6K10 poplar (Populus alba) without visible effects on vegetative development. However, its limited number of replicates...

Marketing sophistication in the forest products industry

Creator:: Han, Xiaoou
Abstract:: In the forest products business and management literature, one common categorization of different types of innovation is product innovation, process innovation and business systems innovation. Forest products companies have long placed high emphasis on process innovations, which are related to yield maximization, manufacturing efficiency and operating costs reduction. This is...

Segmenting single-family homebuilders on a measure of innovativeness

Creator:: Fell, David R.
Abstract:: The goal of this study is to provide a better understanding of new product adoption by single family homebuilders. Information from this study will be useful to producers of new and existing engineered wood products in targeting their market development efforts. Homebuilders are studied with the goal of segmenting them...

Model and procedure for determination of strength and stiffness of wood studs

Creator:: Fernandez, Virgilio Asuncion
Abstract:: Elasticity properties of wood studs are essential inputs for the structural analysis of wood-stud wall systems. A theoretical procedure was developed to determine the probability distributions for the deflection-load relations of stud samples. The procedure is based on the finite element analysis and a Monte- Carlo type simulation and accounts...

Effect of high temperature drying on bending and shear strengths of western hemlock

Creator:: Thiam, Massamba
Abstract:: The advantages of high-temperature drying are faster drying, reduced inventory, reduced energy requirements, and reduced equilibrium moisture content. However the disadvantages are higher initial costs of the kiln, greater power needs, knot dropout, and reduction in some strength properties. The latter was the subject of this study. Three hundred pieces...

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...

Influence of spacing and crown recession on wood quality of intensively-managed young-growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Robbins, James M.
Abstract:: Intensive management of young-growth Douglas-fir plantations has emphasized volume growth over wood quality. A better understanding of the variables that affect wood quality is needed so that wood quality and stand yield can be systematically combined into a silviculture program. This experiment utilized two separate experiments to establish the relationship...

Softwood lumber prices for evaluation of small-diameter timber stands in the Intermountain West

Creator:: Chmelik, John T., Fight, Roger D., and Barbour, R. James
Abstract:: This paper reports prices for aggregations of lumber grades that are representative of the quality and volume of lumber produced from small-diameter timber stands in the Intermountain West area encompassing Idaho and Montana and land east of the Cascade Mountain range in Oregon and Washington. Price data are reported for...
