Using Acoustic Measurements and Inventory Data to Estimate Stiffness in Standing Douglas-Fir Trees

Creator:: Delgado Trejo, Jorge Luis
Abstract:: Total US lumber production in 2011 was 77.9 million cubic meters. Its primary use was for housing and construction. There is a growing concern that the structural properties for wood are being reduced as trees are harvested at much younger ages as the wood supply shifts from older to younger...

Impact of Industry Hauling Practices on Raw Milk Quality in a Commercial Setting

Creator:: Darchuk, Emily
Abstract:: Hauling is a critical part of the commercial milk supply chain, yet very few studies have aimed to understand its impact on raw milk quality. Consolidation of the American milk industry has led to the use of tanker trucks for up to 24 h between cleanings, which is the maximum...

An analysis of the viability of ranked set sample methodologies based on the evaluation of Dyess AFB B-47 crash site radiological contamination survey data and theoretical modifications

Creator:: Miller, Vivien J.
Abstract:: Since Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) was proposed in 1952 by G.A. McIntyre, it has been the subject of many statistical investigations and a large number of field studies. Throughout these studies RSS has been proven to provide a better estimate of population the mean and variance than Simple Random Sampling...

Applying economic benefit transfer to improve the transfer of ecological estimates in ecosystem services research & policy

Creator:: Errend, Melissa N.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to advance the methodology and thought regarding the transferability of ecological estimates of ecosystem services. Conceptually and in practice, ecological estimate transfer parallels economic benefit transfer in ecosystem services research and policy, yet the literature for benefit transfer predates ecological estimate transfer by several...

Reconstructing the Physical Record of a Four-Million-Year Volcanic System : Geochemistry, Thermobarometry, and Geologic Map of the Mount Jefferson Area, Oregon

Creator:: DiGiulio, Jennifer
Abstract:: Volcanic and sedimentary deposits of the Mount Jefferson area (MJA) record a fourmillion-year history of arc-related volcanism related to the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath North America. 171 mapped stratigraphic units over an area of 150 km² reveal four periods of volcanic activity resulting in diverse composition...

Evaluation of Topography and Seismicity on Shallow Landslide Susceptibility

Creator:: Hess, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of shallow landslide susceptibility using...
