  • A study of the relation between radar and raingage indicated rainfall over northern California

    Creator:
    Strem, Eric Thomas
    Abstract:
    The WSR-57 weather radar operated by the National Weather Service at Sacramento, California, plus a network of precipitation gages provided data for this comparison of radar reflectivity with precipitation rates. Located in a valley with mountains within range of the radar on three sides, this radar has varying sensitivity for...

  • Consumer perceptions of decking material

    Creator:
    Thomas, Jon M.
    Abstract:
    Wood remains the most popular material for deck construction. For centuries, consumers have chosen wood because of its desirable qualities and aesthetics. In recent years, wood plastic composites (WPC's) have seen rising demand as alternatives to wood decks, despite a large price premium. In addition, the removal of CCA treated...

  • Constraining Bayesian network learning with qualitative models

    Creator:
    Altendorf, Eric E.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning encompasses probabilistic and statistical techniques that can build models from large quantities of extensional information (examples) with minimal dependence on intensional information (domain knowledge). This focus of machine learning is reflected in the never-ending quest for "off-the-shelf" classifiers. To generalize to unseen data, however, we must make use...

  • Perinatal mortality and preweaning growth of progeny of ewe lambs

    Creator:
    Gendron, Eric
    Abstract:
    Half Polypay ewe lambs were bred to Suffolk, North Country Cheviot and Hampshire rams to lamb at about one year of age. Type of birth-rearing significantly affected mortality by 70 days of age and all weights of lambs from birth to weaning. The mortality rate at 70 days of age...

  • Remote detection and predicted locations of NIPF fuel treatments in central Oregon

    Creator:
    Hall, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Fire regimes across the western United States have been altered due to past land management and changing land use. Mitigating increased risks of wildfire occurrence in landscapes such as central Oregon requires landscape level management from both governmental and private organizations. Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners manage a relatively small...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Late Pleistocene Slip Rate along the Panamint Valley Fault System, Eastern California

    Creator:
    Choi, Na Hyung
    Abstract:
    The Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ) is a broad zone of dextral shear inboard of the North American - Pacific plate boundary. Despite decades of study, the significance of a mismatch between geodetic velocities and geologic fault slip rates across the ECSZ remains incompletely understood. Geodetically determined interseismic strain across...

  • Image feature detection and matching for biological object recognition

    Creator:
    Deng, Hongli
    Abstract:
    Image feature detection and matching are two critical processes for many computer vision tasks. Currently, intensity-based local interest region detectors and local feature-based matching methods are used widely in computer vision applications. But in some applications, such as biological object recognition tasks, within-class changes in pose, lighting, color, and texture...

  • Corporate social responsibility and its implementation : a study of companies in the global forest sector

    Creator:
    Han, Xiaoou
    Abstract:
    Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be defined as companies acting in accordance with societal demands. In recent years, CSR has gradually become a leading issue in business. Heightened corporate attention to CSR has not been entirely voluntary. Many companies awoke to it only after being surprised by public response to...
