Oregon's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program : likely participation and recommendations for implementation

Creator:: Kingsbury, Leigh
Abstract:: This study used contingent valuation techniques to model the probability of participation in Oregon's CREP as a function of the incentive payment and a vector of socio-economic variables. Possible reasons for non-participation were evaluated and landowner preferences for various program components were assessed. Recommendations for program improvement and implementation were...

Hinged floating breakwater : theory and experiments

Creator:: Leach, Patrick A.
Abstract:: An analytical model is developed to examine the response and efficiency of a vertical rigid, hinged, floating breakwater. The boundary value problem describing the flow field yields a well-posed Sturm-Liouville problem which is solved by separation of variables for the velocity potentials. The equation of breakwater motion about the breakwater...

Ocean wave-soil-caisson interaction

Creator:: Tsai, Yau-tang
Abstract:: Caissons on permeable seabeds have been designed and constructed for a variety of needs in coastal and offshore engineering. An evaluation of the adequacy of the foundation beneath the structure is required for an economic and safe design. To address this requirement, a two-dimensional analytical model of the foundation response...

The Works Progress Administration in Oregon : An Administrative Overview

Creator:: Butcher, Karyle S.
Abstract:: The depression of the 1930s had an early effect on the state of Oregon. A decline in timber and agricultural production resulted in severe unemployment in the late 1920s. State and local charitable organizations attempted to care for the unemployed but they did not have the financial resources to do...

Simulation of coastal processes in a circular wave basin

Creator:: Katzev, David H.
Abstract:: The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral wavemaker in a circular wave basin. These were longshore currents, shear waves, and groin circulation. A beach...

The measurement of nearshore bathymetry on intermediate and dissipative beaches

Creator:: Côté, Jessica Magee
Abstract:: In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...

Numerical and physical modeling of wave forces on A-Jacks units

Creator:: Wise, Larry
Abstract:: A numerical model is developed to estimate wave forces on A-Jacks armor units. The forces include drag, inertia, buoyancy, and slamming as the unit penetrates the free surface. The wave force model is used to determine the rigid body motions of the units. Bulk forces on a matrix of units...

The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...
