An economic analysis of final log manufacturing locations in the steep terrain radiata pine plantations of New Zealand

Creator:: Murphy, Glen E.
Abstract:: Over the next quarter century there will be about an eight-fold increase in the volume of wood harvested annually from New Zealand's steep terrain radiata pine plantations. With the move to steeper terrain it is expected that there will be a trend towards considerably smaller landings. With smaller landings final...

Current and Potential Tagging and Tracking Systems for Logs Harvested from Pacific Northwest Forests

Creator:: Murphy, Glen, Clark, Joshua A., and Pilkerton, Stephen
Abstract:: The forest industry is constantly changing, and technology is constantly shifting the bar for efficiency and profitability. To maintain competitiveness and control costs in a global market, an efficient log tracking method must be used by regional stakeholders in the log supply chain from stump to mill to end consumer....

Barking up the Right Trees: Using an Electronic "Wood Hound" to Track Scented Logs from Forest to Furniture

Creator:: Bernart, Bryan
Abstract:: Scientists seek to create a method of tracking logs from stand to product using scent. In addition to developing the chemicals needed for "aroma tagging," scientists work to create an "electronic nose" to recognize the scents. Featuring Dr. Glen Murphy.

Effects of bark thickness estimates on optimal log merchandising

Creator:: Marshall, Hamish D., Murphy, Glen E., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: Bark plays a critical role in the life of a tree when it is standing. Once the tree is felled, however, bark has minimal value and may be a net financial loss to the forest industry. Because of bark’s limited worth, logs are often bought and sold based on under...

Identification of beauty culture skills for Alberta high schools

Creator:: Chatterton, Vonda Joy
Abstract:: This study identified the skills necessary to successfully complete the beauty culture program of Alberta. The (Alberta) beauty culture teachers (N =40) were surveyed, with their responses being used to assess the perceived skills. The instument, a 41 item survey, was established through the use of a Delphi panel to...

Learning and reasoning

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science and Dietterich, Thomas Glen
Abstract:: What is the relationship between learning and reasoning? Much recent work in machine learning has been criticized for focusing on learning and ignoring reasoning. This paper attempts to describe the various ways in which machine learning research has (and has not) incorporated reasoning. The paper argues that there are important...

Machine learning for cognitive networks : technology assessment and research challenges

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Dietterich, Thomas Glen, and Langley, Pat
Abstract:: The field of machine learning has made major strides over the last 20 years. This document summarizes the major problem formulations that the discipline has studied, then reviews three tasks in cognitive networking and briefly discusses how aspects of those tasks fit these formulations. After this, it discusses challenges for...

Integrating learning from examples into the search for diagnostic policies

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Bayer-Zubek, Valentina, and Dietterich, Thomas Glen
Abstract:: This paper studies the problem of learning diagnostic policies from training examples. A diagnostic policy is a complete description of the decision-making actions of a diagnostician (i.e., tests followed by a diagnostic decision) for all possible combinations of test results. An optimal diagnostic policy is one that minimizes the expected...
