The demand for electricity in western U.S. irrigated agriculture : a dual cost function analysis

Creator:: Connor, Jeffery Dean
Abstract:: The overall objective of the research reported here is to empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor substitution elasticities, conditional...

A preliminary investigation into the use of the tarif system and three tree selection methods for obtaining Douglas-fir stand and stock tables from large-scale aerial photography

Creator:: McCadden, Richard Jay
Abstract:: As a preliminary step toward the establishment of a 70 mm. aerial photo timber inventory system capable of generating accurate stand tables, stock tables, and gross volume estimates, this project focuses on the development of a system which (1) eliminates the need to measure tree height on the photos through...

(Re)claiming forestry : a case study of women's empowerment

Creator:: Redmore, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners control a significant portion of forestland nationwide. Even though women own or manage NIPF lands, we know very little about how women manage forestland and what barriers women face in forest management. In addition, while there are several forestry organizations available to NIPF owners, few...

Bright lights, big city : electrified female desire in Edith Wharton and Theodore Dreiser

Creator:: Larsen, Haley A.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the electrified female subject in two novels, Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie (1900) and Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth (1905). As cultural touchstones, two literary works that prominently feature electricity -- Henry James' story "In the Cage" and Henry Adams' biography The Education of Henry Adams --...

Forestry & Communication : A Coos Bay Case Study

Creator:: Livingstone, Tasha
Abstract:: This thesis combines elements of forestry, interpersonal communication, and rhetoric to describe where residents of Coos Bay and North Bend Oregon obtain information about forests and forest uses, and how they view the credibility of that information. As a qualitative exploratory study, grounded theory methodology was used to develop theme...

Error propagation in estimating aboveground biomass using terrestrial LiDAR

Creator:: Shettles, Michael A.
Abstract:: Broad-scale estimates of above ground forest biomass (AGB) are typically produced by applying individual-tree equations to inventory data consisting of measurements from probabilistically or purposively selected trees. The associated uncertainty for these estimates depends primarily on three sources of error that interact and propagate: (1) measurement error, the quality of...

Detection of dwarf mistletoe in young-growth ponderosa pine from color aerial photography

Creator:: Hann, David W.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if infection levels of dwarf mistletoe on ponderosa pine could be detected with color aerial photography. The photography was taken in early September using Kodak Ektachrome Infrared Aero and Ektachrome Aero films at scales of 1/4000, 1/2000, and 1/1000. Ground truth consisted...

Testing two applications of image analysis for use in species-independent biomass equations for western Oregon forests

Creator:: Gray, John Edward, 1946-
Abstract:: Remote sensing technologies have proven useful and cost-efficient for quantifying various forest vegetation characteristics over multiple scales. However, significant limitations were encountered in each of two related experiments conducted to explore their potential to supplement or replace traditional, single-species biomass equations for estimation of ground vegetation and tree overstory on...
