PAC Optimal MDP Planning with Application to Invasive Species Management

Creator:: Taleghan, Majid Alkaee, Dietterich, Thomas G., Crowley, Mark, Hall, Kim, and Albers, H. Jo
Abstract:: In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards are provided in the form of a simulator from which samples can be drawn. This paper studies MDP planning algorithms that attempt to minimize the number of simulator calls before terminating and outputting a policy that is approximately optimal with high...

What the Inbred Scandinavian Wolf Population Tells Us about the Nature of Conservation

Creator:: Räikkönen, Jannikke, Vucetich, John A., Vucetich, Leah M., Peterson, Rolf O., and Nelson, Michael P.
Abstract:: The genetic aspects of population health are critical, but frequently difficult to assess. Of concern has been the genetic constitution of Scandinavian wolves (Canis lupus), which represent an important case in conservation. We examined the incidence of different congenital anomalies for 171 Scandinavian wolves, including the immigrant founder female, born...

Male Greater Sage-Grouse Detectability on Leks

Creator:: Fremgen, Aleshia L.
Abstract:: It is unlikely all male sage-grouse are detected during lek counts, which could complicate the use of lek counts as an index to population abundance. Understanding factors that influence detection probabilities will allow managers to more accurately estimate the number of males present on leks. We fitted 410 males with...

Bird records for the Saddle Bag Mountain area of Lincoln and Tillamook Counties

Creator:: Bayer, Range D., 1947-, Dirks-Edmunds, Jane Claire, Macnab, James A., and McKey-Fender, Dorothy
Abstract:: The results of 703 observations are given; most of these were made in the 1930's by James Macnab, Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds, Dorothy McKey-Fender, and others. These results are the most comprehensive throughout the year for any site above 1,000 ft in Lincoln County and hint that bird communities at sites...

Background of the birds of Lincoln County project and recommendations for others planning similar projects

Creator:: Bayer, Range D., 1947-
Abstract:: The impetus for this Project began in 1968-1973 with birders at the Marine Science Center (MSC). But in the past 10 or so years the focus has shifted to a county group, Yaquina Birders & Naturalists. 120 individuals or couples have each contributed 100 or more records with 51% of...

Effects of 4 weeks whole body vibration on electromechanical delay, rate of force development, and presynaptic inhibition

Creator:: Hong, J., Kipp, K., Johnson, Samuel T., and Hoffman, M. A.
Abstract:: Long-term functional changes after whole-body vibration (WBV) training have been attributed to adaptations in the neuromuscular system. The present study examined the effect of four weeks of WBV training on muscle function outcome variables [rate of force development (RFD), electromechanical delay (EMD)], and spinal control mechanisms (pre-synaptic inhibition). Forty young...

Moisture fluxes over snow with and without protruding vegetation

Creator:: Mahrt, Larry and Vickers, D.
Abstract:: The sublimation of snow and evaporation of melted snow is contrasted between brush, grass and bare ground sites using eddy-correlation data. Averaged over the entire winter season, the evaporation/sublimation is about 20% greater over the brush site than the bare ground site, apparently due to greater supply of snow. Blowing...

A comparison of selected parametric and non-paramentric imputation methods for estimating forest biomass and basal area

Creator:: Gagliasso, Donald, Hummel, Susan, and Temesgen, Hailemariam
Abstract:: Various methods have been used to estimate the amount of above ground forest biomass across landscapes and to create biomass maps for specific stands or pixels across ownership or project areas. Without an accurate estimation method, land managers might end up with incorrect biomass estimate maps, which could lead them...
