The intent of "Oregon Port Districts: An Economic Profile" is to present
a profile of the activities of the Oregon Port Districts and to evaluate
some of the economic contributions that port district operations made in
1975. The study reflects the present role of the port districts within
their community...
The hazards-of-place model of vulnerability to environmental hazards posits that vulnerability has biophysical and social components. While biophysical characteristics are important in predicting locations of elevated wildfire risk, the social characteristics of human communities may help us predict locations of elevated wildfire impacts. We examine the relationship between biophysical and...
This work focuses primarily the development of methods for imaging microbial biofilms in opaque porous media using x-ray computed microtomography (CT). Two methods for evaluating biofilms in porous media are presented. The first focuses on the addition of silver-coated, hollow glass microspheres to a biofilm-containing micro-model. The silver-coated microspheres affix...
Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

CLT is becoming global. New countries and regions increasingly realize the potential of what can be done with CLT. As a result, new markets are forming and new companies are entering the industry. Every new region or country that opens its doors to CLT has its own challenges and opportunities....
Hip fractures have high mortality and morbidity rates after incidence, with osteoporosis being a major risk factor due to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Lower-body resistance exercises, such as squats, can provide sufficient loading on the hip to induce osteogenic effects. However, this loading may depend on how...
A Resource Planning and Management System (RPMS) and Goal
Programming algorithm are integrated into a tool for optimization of
resource allocation in university academic departments. The integrated
approach is then applied to the management models of the
Industrial and General Engineering Department at Oregon State
University and of the Industrial...
In 1968, a study conducted by the sanitarians of the State Health Division and Benton County Health Department revealed a high failure rate of on-site sewage disposal systems in Southwest Corvallis. The survey team concluded that sewage disposal in this area was inadequate, and a significant health hazard existed due...
This paper seeks to provide a practical answer to the following question: why create a board of directors in a family business? To achieve this, it summarizes the existing research published in the field of family business governance that directly addresses the beneficial role of the board of directors in...
