This document provides the latest science and best biological judgment to assist in making management decisions. Fortunately, recent emphasis on sage-grouse conservation has resulted in a substantial number of publications dealing with a variety of aspects of sage-grouse ecology and management, summarized in the 2010 listing petition (75 FR 13910),...
This report provides a strategic approach developed by a Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies interagency working group for conservation of sagebrush ecosystems, Greater sage-grouse, and Gunnison sage-grouse. It uses information on (1) factors that influence sagebrush ecosystem resilience to disturbance and resistance to nonnative invasive annual grasses and...

The purpose of this thesis is to aid in qualitative improvements to technical support documents on the Internet. By using a generic criticism this analysis will make substantive suggestions towards the improvement of this type of document by engaging the rhetoric employed by their authors. It will discuss the history...
The 1970 report considers catch/effort, statuses of major fisheries, and cumulative fish tagging data. Other topics included a groundfish bibliography, international fishery problems, and the sablefish fishery. The report includes a synopsis of otter trawl regulations and their rationale as of July 1, 1970.
Standard accounts of women's relationship with technology stress women's need to overcome anxiety to achieve competence with computers. Recent studies provide evidence that this woman-anxiety-technology connection is an oversimplification of the relationship between women and computers. New literature also suggests that making computers more appealing will help girls overcome computational...

This Instruction Memorandum (Instruction Memorandum No. 2016-139) provides guidance on the use of terrestrial and aquatic objectives and quantitative data to determine Resource Management Plan effectiveness. Additionally, for RMPs that include Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) habitat, this IM provides guidance for tracking and reporting on the implementation of decisions using the...
PURPOSE: We analyze a recently proposed polyenergetic version of the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART). This algorithm, denoted pSART, replaces the monoenergetic forward projection operation used by SART with a post-log, polyenergetic forward projection, while leaving the rest of the algorithm unchanged. While the proposed algorithm provides good results empirically,...
This white paper outlines interim guidance for development of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife habitat mitigation recommendations associated with renewable energy development and associated infrastructure or other landscape scale industrial-commercial developments in greater sage-grouse habitat in Oregon. This guidance is interim until empirical data are available that quantify the...
This report delineates reasonable objectives, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of its release, for the conservation and survival of greater sage-grouse. Individual team members contributed by providing technical information and data, participating in critical discussions, providing critical reviews and edits, or authoring sections...
The purpose of this document (Framework) is to communicate some of the factors the Service is likely to consider in evaluating the efficacy of mitigation practices and programs in reducing threats to sage-grouse. The recommendations provided here are consistent with the information and conservation objectives provided in the 2013 Conservation...
Prior to settlement in the 19th century, greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter referred to as ‘sage-grouse’) inhabited 13 western States and three Canadian provinces, and their potential habitat covered over 1,200,483 square kilometers (km) (463,509 square miles (mi)). Sage-grouse have declined across their range due to a variety of causes...
This report documents and summarizes several decades of work on sage-grouse populations, sagebrush as habitat, and sagebrush community and ecosystem functions based on the recent assessment and findings of the USFWS under consideration of the Endangered Species Act. As reflected here, some of these topics receive a greater depth of...
The condition of the sagebrush ecosystem has been declining in the Western United States, and greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a sagebrush-obligate species, has experienced concurrent decreases in distribution and population numbers. This has prompted substantial research and management over the past two decades to improve the understanding of sage-grouse and...

Many forest products companies in the southeastern United States store large volumes of round-wood under wet storage. Log quality depends on maintaining a high and constant wood moisture content; however, limited knowledge exists regarding moisture variation within individual logs, and within wet decks as a whole, making it impossible to...

We present a methodology for creating a simulated foam microstructure for use in forward simulations of wave equations to quantitatively analyze the expected scattering phenomenon primarily responsible for the attenuation of interrogating signals in Sprayed-On Foam Insulation (SOFI). Our approach builds off of the popular use of Voronoi Tessalations for...
The purpose of the study was to identify a list of skills, knowledges and related factors that are common to fourteen occupational cluster areas representative of the work community of Oregon. PROCEDURES A list of skills, knowledges and related factors needed for successful employment was derived from existing task analyses...

In 1959, when the International Trawl Fishery Committee was created, its membership was made up of personnel representing fish and wildlife agencies from Oregon, Washington, California, and the Canadian government. At its first meeting in November, 1959, the Commission created the Technical Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee was instructed to review the...
The 1967 report includes catch/effort data, a review of major fisheries, and data on dispersion of tagged fish. The Technical Sub-Committee made an important recommendation to rescind the winter closure of the petrale sole fishery. The Sub-Committee voiced concern about the growing presence of Soviet and Japanese fishing vessels off...
The 1963 report includes status reports on important bottomfish fisheries, a review of catch/effort assessment techniques, a catalog of market sampling techniques, a summary of otter trawl regulations, and preliminary results of fish-tagging experiments.
In addition to the standard reports on the status of major fisheries, catch/effort data, and cumulative groundfish tag recoveries, the 1968 report focused on the developing hake fishery and international fishery issues. A new agreement with the Soviet Union lessened the presence of the Soviet fishing fleet off the coast....
The 1966 report was concerned with catch/effort data, reports on the statuses of major fisheries, reviews of data procedures, current research and joint projects, and dispersions of tagged fish. Other matters touched on include the developing hake fishery and increased international fishing off the Washington and Oregon coasts.
The 1971 report includes catch/effort data and reviews of the major groundfish fisheries. The report also includes historic trawl fishery data of all agencies and their current market sampling techniques.
During an oceanographic cruise of the "E. W. Scripps" in May, 1939, off the coast of Oregon, four small, post-larval specimens of Anoplopoma fimitrita were taken at the surface of the sea with a dip net at two of the hydrographic stations off Cascade Head, Oregon.
Fire and other catastrophic disturbance events in the Douglas-fir forests of the Oregon Coast Range have been significant in determining the distribution of stand age classes and, hence, habitat. Except for the past half century, knowledge of fire in the region has largely been local and anecdotal. The Douglas-fir forests...
Local stability seems to imply global stability for population models. To investigate this claim, we formally define a population model. This definition seems to include the one-dimensional discrete models now in use. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the global stability of our defined class of models. We...
There is continuing interest in the trend of costs associated with pollution abatement activities. We specify an environmental production technology to model the joint production of good and bad outputs. The joint production model calculates pollution abatement costs and identifies changes in these costs associated with: (1) technical change, (2)...
