A procedure for estimating the carbon budget of terrestrial ecosystems in the former Soviet Union by geographic information system analysis and classification of AVHRR derived Global Vegetation Index

Creator:: Gaston, Greg G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to develop methods for using geographic information system (GIS) analysis and unsupervised classification of Global Vegetation Index (GVI) images to improve carbon budget estimates of the former Soviet Union (FSU). A GIS was used to locate the geographic distribution and estimate the area of...

An analysis of risk management strategies for southern Alberta feedlots

Creator:: Freeze, Brian S.
Abstract:: Feedlot finishing of beef cattle in Southern Alberta involves income risk due to the variability of prices of feeders, feed and finished cattle. Several strategies are available to reduce this risk, including hedging of cattle on feed, participation in a Federal- Provincial government and producer established income stabilization program for...

Development and comparison of stand-level bucking optimization methods

Creator:: Laroze, André J.
Abstract:: Heuristics based on Monte-Carlo Integer Programming (MCIP) and Tabu Search (TS) techniques were developed for generating easily implementable bucking rules that are applicable to entire stands (as opposed to individual stem classes), and for selecting the rule-set that provides the best feasible solution (given log prices and market constraints). A...

Importance of timber-related revenues to local governments in Oregon and the effects of forests in Oregon on property tax rates

Creator:: Hackworth, Kevin
Abstract:: Local governments in Oregon receive money from the forestry sector in a number of ways. This paper briefly describes public and private forestry sector sources and the relative importance of their payments to five forms of local governments by county for fiscal year 1982-83 to 1985-86. An analysis of the...

Federal forest revenue-sharing in coastal Oregon : an assessment of historical and future tax equivalence

Creator:: Powell, Leslie A. (Leslie Ann)
Abstract:: Public land ownership withdraws property from the tax base of local property tax districts. Publicly-managed lands occupy approximately 17.5 million acres of forested lands in Oregon (inclusive of federal, state, and county ownership). To compensate local taxing districts for foregone property tax collections, Congress enacted a series of federal revenue-sharing...

Jerking behavior among phytoseiid mite species (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Creator:: Blackwood, J. Scott
Abstract:: Jerking, which we defined as a pronounced and often repeated lunging of the entire body, was studied in larvae among seven species of phytoseiid mites, and in the nymphal stages of Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman). This behavior was observed in all active immature stages of N. fallacis, and in larvae of...

Enhancing social-emotional and character development for youths' success : a theoretical orientation and an evaluation using a cluster-randomized design

Creator:: Snyder, Frank J.
Abstract:: Interest in social-emotional and character development (SECD) programming has intensified in recent years. SECD-related programs often seek to enhance a variety of health-related outcomes by addressing multiple influences and embracing a comprehensive approach that includes youth, school personnel, families, and communities. Alongside a comprehensive approach arises the need for a...

Prey-stage preference in phytoseiid mites

Creator:: Blackwood, J. Scott
Abstract:: Knowledge of how individual organisms behave in their environment can provide a greater understanding of population dynamics. In a predator-prey system, the choices made by predators when foraging for prey are important aspects of behavior. Particularly in the case of a stage-structured prey population, how the predator selects prey stages...

Functional imaging reveals modest strain concentrations associated with implant micromotion using modified BAK interbody cages

Creator:: Berry, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Interbody fusion cages are increasingly used in the treatment of spinal disease and injury in order to stabilize movement and promote arthrodesis of the vertebral bodies, but the micro-mechanics of the interaction between the cage and the adjacent host bone is not fully understood. This information has bearing on post-surgical...
