Potential utilization of western juniper residues

Creator:: Sichamba, Kennedy
Abstract:: Logging and forest thinning operations generate large amounts of residues in the form of small trees, branches and foliage that are usually left on the ground to decay or are burned. These resources are readily available, but it is uneconomical to remove them from the forest. The potential utilization of...

A computer-assisted qualitative data analysis framework for the engineering management domain

Creator:: Saeedi, Amirali
Abstract:: Qualitative data analysis (QDA) is a time consuming and, potentially unreliable research activity. In qualitative research, a number of tasks must be repeated for every new research case, even if each case is closely related or is in the same area of study. Existing QDA applications provide users with a...

Implications of the 2008 Lacey Act amendments : insights from the wood products industry

Creator:: Tibbets, Ashlee
Abstract:: Export-oriented illegal logging has been recognized as a major global problem in environmental, social, and economic terms. It has been argued that export-oriented illegal logging does not benefit the community or government that should be benefited by its own natural resources. The emergence of policy initiatives targeting illegal logging could...

Developing a Standard to Assess Water Repellency and Dimensional Stability of Preservative Treated Railroad Ties or Other Large Timbers

Creator:: Trebelhorn, Daniel B.
Abstract:: Untreated wood is inherently hygroscopic and moisture content variations can have substantial effects on dimensional stability leading to the development of deep surface checks that further enhance moisture uptake and ultimately encourage deterioration. The horizontal exposure of wood crossties makes water repellency and dimensional stability particularly important in railroad applications....

Local Specialty and Niche Market Potential: Opportunities for Oregon's Small Woodland Owners

Creator:: Wade, Alyson
Abstract:: Small landowners in the state of Oregon find it difficult to be competitive with larger companies to provide traditional forest products to consumers. Additionally, many landowners hope to be profitable from their land, but are not necessarily interested in or have the capability to harvest large tracts of timber. Specialty...

Studying the application of learning and growth metrics in healthcare using analytic hierarchy process

Creator:: Emami, Samin
Abstract:: Performance measurement is a process that begins with a decision on what to measure followed by identifying proper metrics and data sources. While there is substantial literature devoted to measuring the performance of hospitals and clinics in terms of indicators such as health outcomes and finances, it is vital for...

Deliver knowledge or touch the mind? The effect of informational and emotional advertisement strategy on sportswear brand attitude and recall

Creator:: Lee, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of advertisement strategy (informational, positive emotional, negative emotional) and brand awareness (high, low awareness) on brand name recall and change in brand attitude. The study extends previous research by focusing on the sportswear market and including personal involvement towards...

Fabrication of precipitation-hardened aluminum microchannel cooling plates for adsorption-based hydrogen storage systems

Creator:: Pawar, Supriya V.
Abstract:: The need for clean and renewable fuel such as hydrogen is driven by a growing worldwide population and increasing air pollution from fossil fuels. One of the major barriers for the use of hydrogen in automotive industry is the storage of hydrogen. Physisorption is the most promising storage technique due...

Modeling the fixed bed drying characteristics of biomass particles

Creator:: Yang, Hai
Abstract:: The fixed bed drying of western hemlock and Douglas-fir biomass particles at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and air velocities from 0.3 to 0.9 m/s was investigated. The objectives were to describe the drying characteristics of the particles, fit a model for thin-layer drying, and develop and test a...

The impact of shared ownership on virtual team effectiveness

Creator:: Bonnono, Mark A.
Abstract:: This research studied the role of shared ownership on virtual team effectiveness, using student teams enrolled in engineering management coursework at Oregon State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. After a thorough review of the literature, the concept of shared ownership was developed. This concept was operationalized as the extent to...
