The development of an OSB (oriented strand board)
industry in Western Oregon would prove to be a real boost
to the economy of an area that has suffered from the
earlier recession of the forest products industry. Past
studies have shown that it is technically feasible to
produce OSB from...
Field experiments were done to test the relative
effectiveness of single and multiple biological control
agents in reducing weed populations using two insects, the
cinnabar moth, Tvria iacobaeae (L.), and the ragwort flea
beetle, Lonqitarsus iacobaeae (Waterhouse). These two
insects were released for biological control of the biennial weed tansy...

Wave dispersion and fracture are phenomena that involve. mechanisms triggered at the scale of a material's internal structure. Experiments were performed with a candidate material to judge the hypothesis that wave dispersion measurements can be used to nondestructively predict fracture strength. Wood-based particleboard was chosen as the candidate material because...
