Estimating volume and value on standing timber in hybrid poplar plantations using terrestrial laser scanning : a case study

Creator:: Barnett, Jennifer S.
Abstract:: Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) may provide a way to increase timber value recovery by replacing manual timber cruising with a simple-to-use, cost-effective alternative. TLS has been studied in several trials worldwide. Past studies have not compared TLS based estimates with mill estimates of stem value and volume. Three differently stocked...

Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

Creator:: Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
Abstract:: Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

Statistical surface wind forecasting at Goodnoe Hills, Washington

Creator:: Curtis, Joel C.
Abstract:: Multiple linear regression was used to develop equations for 12-, 24-, and 36-hour surface wind forecasts for the wind energy site at Goodnoe Hills. Equations were derived separately for warm and cool seasons. The potential predictors included LFM II model output, MOS surface wind forecasts extrapolated from surrounding stations, pressure...

On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

Creator:: Stoller, Kevin R.
Abstract:: William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

Forest ant composition, relative abundances, and foraging following aerial spraying of carbaryl to suppress Western Spruce budworm

Creator:: Murphy, Christopher F.
Abstract:: An outbreak of western spruce budworm Choristoneura occidentalis in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon in 1983 was treated with helicopter applied carbaryl. Effects of the spraying on forest ants were determined from pre- and postspray samples taken from two carbaryl sprayed and two unsprayed plots. In each 0.75-ha plot,...

Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Acuna, Mauricio A.
Abstract:: There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...

Managing woody biomass transportation for improved biomass economics

Creator:: Han, Sang-Kyun
Abstract:: With rising fuel costs and enhanced environmental concerns, the use of renewable energy has been steadily considered and widely expounded as a solution to the challenges of global energy security and climate change. The use of woody biomass, in particular, has received considerable attention for energy production due to the...

Voluntary Approaches to Transitioning from Competive Fisheries to Rights- Based Management

Creator:: Knapp, Gunnar and Murphy, James J.
Abstract:: Despite potential advantages of rights-based management over competitive fisheries, there has been significant political resistance to rights-based management from many fishermen, which has slowed the adoption of rights-based management. This paper explores the concept of voluntary transitions to rights-based management, under which fishermen may choose between an allocated fishery (with...

Fishing for Beads: Simple Games, Serious Insights

Creator:: Knapp, Gunnar and Murphy, James
Abstract:: We have developed simple and fun “fishing games” which can be played easily and quickly with cheap supplies—and which demonstrate important economic characteristics of fisheries. Players “fish” by scooping beads from a common bowl into individual cups placed near the bowl. The beads are the fish stock; the scoops are...

Magnetotelluric Constraints on Lithospheric Properties in the Southeastern United States

Creator:: Murphy, Benjamin S.
Abstract:: By inverting EarthScope long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data from the southeastern United States (SEUS), we obtain electrical conductivity images that provides key insights into the geodynamics of this region. Significantly, we resolve a highly electrically resistive block that extends to mantle depths beneath the modern Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces....

Estimating spatial changes in acoustic velocity in felled Douglas-fir stems

Creator:: Dowding, Bodie
Abstract:: To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...
