This document is one of a series of research reports prepared by Oregon State University during the 197Os which focuses on the field burning problem of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The purpose of such research efforts is to assist both the private and public sectors of Oregon in identifying technically feasible,...
The reliability of sequential machines is an important factor in
their design and implementation. In this thesis, stochastic sequential
machine models are employed to investigate some of the problems concerning
the reliability of sequential machines. Two different methods
are used to find the reliability required of individual elements. The
first...
The efficiency of powdered corncob as a tablet disintegrating
agent was compared to that of a number of wood products and to
starch, the most popular agent used today. Corncob appeared to
be superior in its disintegrating effectiveness.
The optimum particle size, at which powdered corncob produced
its best disintegrating...
This thesis discusses the analysis, design, and experimental
evaluation of an instrument that can be used to detect the presence or
absence of a signal, not necessarily known, in a noisy background.
The detection principle is based on application of the sign test of
distribution-free statistics to the stochastic process...
Management practices following forest harvest can affect long-term soil productivity through alteration of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools, but processes contributing to change are poorly understood. I assessed effects of three levels of logging-debris retention in combination with initial or annual applications of competing vegetation control (CVC) following...
