Temperature and moisture effects on stand establishment of seven winter wheat cultivars and selected progeny (Triticum Aestivum, L em thell

Creator:: Conway, Michael Patrick
Abstract:: Laboratory studies were conducted under different temperature and moisture regimes to evaluate the effects of temperature and moisture on stand establishment and seedling characteristics associated with stand establishment. Percent stand and days to 25% emergence were used as indexes of stand establishment. Seedling characteristics analyzed were: shoot length, coleoptile length,...

Chemical and environmental factors affecting pesticide volatilization from turfgrass

Creator:: Conway, Michael S.
Abstract:: Volatile loss rates of pesticides from turfgrass were measured using the Backward-Time Lagrangian Stochastic Dispersion model (Flesch et al., 1995). Solar radiation, ambient temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, and wind speed were monitored continuously. Growth regulator was applied to the turf plot several days before pesticide application to...

Incorporation of aerodynamic and boundary layer resistances in determining initial evaporation rates of pesticides from turf grass

Creator:: Conway, Michael
Abstract:: Evaporative loss rates of pesticides, following application to turfgrass, were measured using the Backward-Time Lagrangian stochastic Dispersion model (Flesch, Wilson, Journal of Applied Meteorology, 34, pp. 1320-1332. All pesticides were applied to a 22.8 m x 22.8 m orchard ryegrass turf plot near Corvallis, Oregon. Solar radiation, ambient temperature, surface...

Unrealized Economic Benefits in the West Coast Non-Whiting Groundfish Trawl Fishery

Creator:: Gann, Aaron K.
Abstract:: In Oregon, commercial fishing is estimated to contribute $544 million in income and 10,000 jobs per year to coastal communities. However not all fisheries are reaching their allocated quotas for catch. In 2017, 187.6 million pounds of non-whiting groundfish trawl quota worth $67 million was not attained, nearly three times...

A framework for the preliminary assessment of vulnerability of fisheries-dependent communities

Creator:: Berns, Richard Hunter and Berns, Richard Hunter
Abstract:: Global climate change is projected to have far-ranging effects on the oceans and marine life. In turn, fisheries will likely undergo changes in their distributions and abundance. Coastal Alaskan communities are often highly dependent on commercial fisheries, and as a result will likely be vulnerable to climate change. The purpose...

Cooperative product development between researchers and commercial fishermen to find applications for ocean condition forecasting technology

Creator:: Duncan, Colin
Abstract:: This is a case study of the cooperative development of an ocean condition forecasting tool by Oregon commercial fishermen, Oregon State University (OSU) scientists, and OSU student software engineers. Ocean condition forecasting models developed by OSU scientists were used to create an online tool to assist decision-making for fishermen. This...

Historical Sources of Science-as-Social-Practice: Michael Polanyi's Berlin

Creator:: Nye, Mary Jo
Abstract:: Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...

Evaluating potential marine reserves in Oregon : assessing community involvement and potential effects to ocean dependent stakeholders

Creator:: Murphy, Melissa
Abstract:: Over the last three decades Oregonians have been engaged in a protracted discussion about Marine Spatial Planning. In the last twenty years the discussion has centered on the protection of Oregon’s natural marine resources and has taken on various labels such as marine gardens, conservation areas, marine sanctuary, and marine...

Minimum cost scheduling of resource constrained jobs on parallel machines under control of interchangeable processors

Creator:: Ng, George Kwok Wing
Abstract:: A special case of a parallel multiprocessor scheduling (MP) problem is investigated. A set of jobs with a known process time and a.resource requirement is scheduled on machines controlled by processors,and the total changeover cost between jobs is to be minimized. Each processor may control up to two machines and...

Evaluation of dungeness crab pots as platforms of opportunity for ocean-observing research

Creator:: Childress, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: Oregon Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research (OrFIOOR) is a cooperative research program between ocean scientists and fishermen in the Pacific Northwest. Dungeness crab fishermen attach sensor packages (temperature and dissolved oxygen) to crab pots. The pots serve as platforms of opportunity for ocean observing. This study examines three principle questions...
