Effects of best management practices on copper migration from Douglas-fir lumber treated with ACZA, CA or ACQ

Creator:: Ye, Min
Abstract:: Copper is the most common ingredient in waterborne preservatives and provides excellent activity against most fungi and insects. However, issues associated with copper migration from treated wood have created increasing concerns about potential risks to non-target organisms in surrounding environments, especially those in sensitive aquatic environments. Various Best Management Practices...

Net farm income and the role of water development projects

Creator:: Anderson, William J.
Abstract:: The recent 2013 Oregon State Board of Agriculture report identified several ways to improve agricultural income in Oregon. Recommendations to improve water development are at the top of the report's list of objectives. In this study, I analyze the relationship between net cash farm income (NCFI) and a cross-sectional set...

Quantifying the fertilizer value of algal meal : an evaluation of an integrated dairy-anaerobic digester-algae production facility

Creator:: Andrews, Shannon B.
Abstract:: Algae have shown great potential as a source for renewable fuels. However, current production schemes have not been able to prove a sustainable energy return on investment due in part to the high costs of nutrient addition and the energy required for drying the biomass. Integrated algae-dairy production systems have...

Experimental reintroduction of northern wormwood (Artemisia campestris var. wormskioldii), a rare species of dynamic cobble bar environments on the Columbia River

Creator:: Brickner, Alexis H.
Abstract:: Rare plant reintroductions that result in additional or more viable wild populations are important conservation tools for maintaining biodiverse ecosystems. Ideally, such projects are best designed as experiments, to improve biological and ecological knowledge of the selected species and monitoring long-term results. Northern wormwood (Artemisia campestris var. wormskioldii: Asteraceae), a...

Impact of price and color availability on fair trade and organic apparel choice

Creator:: Hodgin, Elizabeth Dee
Abstract:: Working conditions in the international garment industry have long been a concern and a process to assess and certify fair trade practices was developed as a means by which to improve those conditions. Standards for fair trade apparel include safe working conditions, fair wages, compliance with laws, and reduced environmental...

Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

Creator:: Forrest, Darren J.
Abstract:: Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

Modeling Arctic melt ponds using a resolved ice model with GCM forcing

Creator:: Collins, Lee E.
Abstract:: The albedo of Arctic sea ice depends greatly on the formation of melt ponds. These ponds form in depressions on the ice as surface snow melts during the summer months, and their location is determined mainly by the initial snow topography. Using a high resolution sea ice model forced with...

Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...

Determination of cohesive parameters for aerospace adhesives

Creator:: Hortnagl, Josef G.
Abstract:: The use of adhesives in demanding engineering applications is a very common occurrence in the modern world. These adhesives are taking the role of many traditional fasteners, especially in the area of fiber reinforced composites. As the use of these adhesives become more common place, better understanding of their mechanics...

Adiabatic Markov Decision Process : convergence of value iteration algorithm

Creator:: Duong, Thai
Abstract:: Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...
