    Abstract:
    Plywood is the second largest, by value, wood-based product being imported by United Arab Emirates (UAE), below paper products and also second in terms of volume below sawn wood. Very few studies have been done of the UAE market for plywood. This thesis takes a scientific, marketing planning approach to...

  • Spatially-explicit prediction of recoverable harvesting residues

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Christian F. W.
    Abstract:
    In order to decide whether or not to develop biomass energy facilities and where to best locate them, developers and investors need accurate assessments of fuel supply. This includes information about the distribution and concentration of fuel throughout the assessment area, the quality of fuel (form, moisture content, contaminant content,...

  • The influence of light, temperature and humidity on the herbicidal activity of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzo-nitrile) on Amsinckia intermedia

    Creator:
    Zimmerman, Martin (Martin Joseph)
    Abstract:
    The use of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile) to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops has become widespread. This herbicide has not always performed satisfactorily for reasons which were not clearly evident. The effects of temperature, light and humidity on the herbicidal activity of bromoxynil on coast fiddleneck, Amsinckia intermedia, were studied. Fiddleneck...

  • Fisherman versus management : perceptions and conflicts in the salmon fishery

    Creator:
    Mrakovcich, Karina Lorenz
    Abstract:
    Fishermen's and managers' perceptions of fishery issues are an important factor to consider when studying conflicts between the two groups. According to theories of conflict management, differences in perceptions may cause situations to be characterized by misunderstanding and mistrust, and may add to the difficulties in managing the conflict. A...

  • Paleo-oceanography of the subtropical southeastern Pacific during late Quaternary : a study of radiolaria, opal and quartz contents of deep-sea sediments

    Creator:
    Molina-Cruz, Adolfo
    Abstract:
    Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments, (2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...

    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to shed light on the phenomenon of independent volunteer traveling. It represents a form of tourism in which travelers independently organize their own volunteer efforts and typically provide assistance to local people in return for room and board. Travelers operate outside the confines of...

  • Growth in herbaceous perennials

    Creator:
    Nakajima, Rie
    Abstract:
    Several studies of herbaceous perennials have addressed the effects of environmental factors during and after production, inherent cold hardiness, and post-harvest handling procedures to enhance flowering and growth during establishment. The regrowth of both woody and herbaceous forage plants following establishment is reported to be directly related to reserve-nitrogen content....

  • Using oral histories to document changing forest cover patterns : Soap Creek Valley, Oregon, 1500-1999

    Creator:
    Zybach, Bob
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines forest history of a portion of the Douglas-fir Region: Soap Creek Valley, a 15,000 acre sub-basin of the Luckiamute River in northern Benton County, Oregon. The primary reasons for the research were to test oral history methodology, document sub-basin scale forest cover pattern changes, and determine basic...

  • Episodic dynamics of microbial communities associated with the birth and death of ectomycorrhizal mats in old-growth Douglas-fir stands

    Creator:
    Blanchard, Joseph H.
    Abstract:
    Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi of the genera Piloderma and Ramaria form dense hyphal mats in the organic and upper mineral soil layers, respectively, in coniferous forest floors of the Pacific Northwest. Previous studies have determined that fungal mats change the chemical, physical, and biological properties of the soil within. Little information...

  • Genome Organization in the Ectomycorrhizal Truffle Rhizopogon vesiculosus

    Creator:
    Lu, Dabao Sun
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon vesiculosus is a common ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbiont of Pseudotusga menziesii (Douglas-fir) in the coast range of the Pacific Northwest. The species has been studied for its systematics, genet size, population structure, and competitive ability in several field and experimental studies. This thesis seeks to provide a more thorough characterization...
