Penman-Monteith surface resistance for hybrid poplar trees

Creator:: Butler, Dana Anthony
Abstract:: The application of the widely used Penrnan-Monteith evapotranspiration equation to hybrid poplar trees is impossible without a valid surface resistance. The increase in applications of drip-irrigated hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock and veneer production, as well as bioremediation, constitutes a need for estimating the evapotranspiration of these trees....

Webster and Butler Final.pdf

Creator:: Webster, Janet G. and Butler, Barbara
Abstract:: As IAMSLIC members will recall, in 1990 Stephanie Haas questioned ASFA’s supremacy in marine science libraries and found “potential pitfalls” if relying on a single database to adequately discover the relevant literature (Haas 1990). We still question the best way to access the literature in our multidisciplinary field. Patrons and...

Image pre-processing algorithms for isolation of defects in Douglas-fir veneer

Creator:: Forrer, Johannes Barry
Abstract:: The goal of this research is to develop automatic techniques for identifying defects in Douglas-fir veneer. To achieve this goal, computer vision techniques, in particular image-processing, will be applied. Several pre-processing steps may be required to enhance images in making further analysis easier, faster, and more reliable. Pre-processing is often...

'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

Creator:: McGrory, Suzette L.
Abstract:: Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...

The application of ablative laser ultrasonics to an aluminum plate, titanium tube, and welded joints

Creator:: Butler, Chad L.
Abstract:: Laser ultrasonics can be used to nondestructively evaluate structures to determine the existence and location of surface and interior flaws. The goal of this research was to determine if laser ultrasonic techniques can be applied to the inspection of aluminum plate. titanium tubes, and large welded plate structures. The research...

A hazardous-inspection model with costly repair

Creator:: Yang, Minghui
Abstract:: An inspection-repair model is developed that presumes inspection is hazardous to the system being inspected. The form of the optimal inspection-repair policy is determined for different ranges of the model's parameters. The model is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process with finite numbers of states and actions. The...

Optimal inspection policies for a partially observable process with hazardous inspections

Creator:: Chou, Chung-kuang
Abstract:: An inspection model is considered in which inspections are hazardous to the device being monitored. The model is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process. Previous research has determined the optimal ongoing inspection policies for a previously inspected device. In this thesis, the optimal inspection initiation policies are investigated...

Image segmentation for defect detection on veneer surfaces

Creator:: Zhong, Yuan, 1956-
Abstract:: Machine vision is widely used in scientific areas and non-wood using industries, but the extreme variability of wood has limited its adoption by forest products industries. However, it is now becoming a key factor in further automation of the forest products industry. As a very important part of machine vision,...

Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center 2008 annual report

Creator:: Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center
Abstract:: This report was prepared for the 2009 Range Field Day held at the Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Madras, Oregon. It contains research reports on production of vegetable seed, grass seed, forage and cereals, and potatoes and peppermint; potential new crops; and rangeland and non-crop areas.
