The term Euclidean zoning is derived from the famous case
of Euclid vs. Ambler Realty Company in which the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld the right of the town of Euclid to zone land on the
basis of land use categories (e.g. residential, commercial, and
industrial). Since Euclid, the field of...

Streams across the western United States are impaired from human alterations that have reduced freshwater habitat by simplifying channel complexity and disconnecting floodplains (Knox et al., 2022; Waples et al., 2008; Wohl, 2014). Climate change is likely to continue exacerbating these risks by warming summer surface stream temperatures (Crozier et...
During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...
Phytophthora cinnamomi is a soilborne pathogen that causes root rot disease of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). When new installations of susceptible blueberry cultivars are infected with P. cinnamomi, plants often fail to grow significant new tissue, greatly reducing yields over the life of the planting. Chemical fungicides are available...
A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...
Most existing analyses of the blade loads on horizontal
axis wind turbines are conducted using linear steady-state
aerodynamics, but evaluation of loads resulting from wind
turbulence or gusts may not be adequate using these
techniques. This study develops single-parameter
approximations for both the shed wake and trailing wake
components of...
Techniques have been developed for measuring the
temperature, stable species concentrations, and atomic
radical concentrations during a transient combustion
event. They combine the features of direct sampling with
two spectroscopic techniques to produce relatively simple
diagnostic techniques to obtain time-resolved
measurements. In this study, a transient event was
provided by...
This paper considers the regulation of a natural resource within a dynamic common agency framework. In setting harvest quotas, the regulator responds to lobbying pressure (contributions) from harvesters and conservationists. The truthful Markov perfect equilibrium stock is then an increasing function of the effective political weight for conservationists. Since the...
Two direct elicitation of utility (D.E.U.) techniques
were used to estimate risk attitudes of a group of agricultural
producers. The two elicitation techniques used in the
study were 1) an error-in-response model using a modified
Ramsey method, and 2) stochastic dominance with respect to a
function (SDF). The primary objective...
The "unusual" behavior of agricultural land prices is the subject of considerable debate and controversy and is the object of this research. There is little doubt that land prices have been increasing steadily since 1959 and dramatically throughout the decade of the 1970's. However, there is widespread disagreement among economists,...
File scanned at 300 ppi (Monochrome) using ScandAll PRO 1.8.1 on a Fi-6670 in PDF format. CVista PdfCompressor 4.0 was used for pdf compression and textual OCR.
A laboratory investigation was performed to determine the influence of 2,4-dichlorophenol on the flavor of fish. The study was conducted at the Oak Creek Fisheries Laboratory of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University. The three experimental apparatus used in this study were designed to deliver 250 ml/min...
The nuclear reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(¹²⁴Sn,xn)[superscript 224-x]U has been carried out at E[subscript cot] of 578 MeV and 634 MeV using the facilities and equipment at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in order to initiate the search for the inverse fission of uranium. Reference...
Alternative male phenotypes in salmonine fishes arise from individuals that mature as either larger and older anadromous marine-migrants or as smaller and younger freshwater residents. Variability in age and size of males at maturity is hypothesized to be preceded by early differences in growth in size and lipid storage. Water...
As part of the effort to evaluate TRIM (Timber Resource Inventory
Model) for the next RPA National Assessment, a study was conducted
using natural pine stands in North Carolina. TRIM has been used for
regional timber supply studies in both the Pacific Northwest and the
South (Southern Timber Supply Study)....
The behavior of coniferous trees subjected to wind loading was investigated through a series of experiments and also through simulation modeling. Previous studies that measured the natural oscillation frequencies and damping ratios were reviewed and equations were developed for predicting the natural frequency of a tree from the ratio of...
