The objectives of this study were to determine (1) the relationship between income and consumption for the Newport-Toledo economy, both for aggregate consumption expenditures and for various expenditure categories, and (2) the relationship between consumption and other variables in addition to income.
An economic cost analysis of 258 Forest Service developed recreation sites in Region One examined eleven different site types, including campgrounds, picnic grounds, boating and swimming sites, interpretive sites, and information sites. Costs were estimated for planning, facilities, and operation and maintenance. Averaging costs by category showed that, in general,...
A detailed cost analysis was performed on 111 U.S. Forest Service campgrounds in the Pacific Northwest (Region 6). Five experience levels were analyzed to estimate facility, operation and maintenance, and opportunity costs. Cost functions, estimated by multiple linear regression analysis to predict the effect of size (number of sites) and...
The authors describe a consistent and theoretically sound methodology for evaluating nonmarket uses of forest resources, particularly those associated with recreation. The analytical methodology is applied to a forest management unit. Present net worth of developed campgrounds and dispersed recreation activities on Oregon State Department of Forestry Lands in 1977...

Recent research suggests that individuals might use compensatory movement patterns in their ACL-reconstructed (ACLR) limb when performing a triple hop (TH) to overcome quadriceps weakness. The purpose of this study was to determine if ACLR females exhibit differences in TH performance compared to previously uninjured females. Nineteen females with ACLR...
Gibbs sampling method is an important tool used in parameter estimation for many probabilistic models. Specifically, for many scenarios, it is difficult to generate high-dimensional data samples from its joint distribution. The Gibbs sampling provides a way to draw high-dimensional data via the conditional distributions which are typically easier to...
The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of the most important food crops in the United States, as well as globally. As demand rises, growers in the Pacific Northwest are revisiting their crop management strategies to determine whether there are additional ways to enhance crop productivity while managing plant and...
