Illuminated contour lines, where line width and color are varied based on an angle of illumination, date back to the mid-nineteenth century, but their effectiveness compared to conventional contour lines has not been fully examined. Currently, illuminated contour lines are not widely used in computer-based cartography because they are not...
The development of personal computer software
coupled to an analytical stereoplotter allows major gains
in efficiency and accuracy in a number of forestry related
subjects. This thesis describes the operation of a system
developed by Carto Instruments.
This thesis demonstrates how area estimates might be
made in a systematic way...
This report describes the preliminary results of a study to compare effects of clear-cut and staggered logging on fish and other aquatic resources in small headwater streams. The results of this study were published in ODFW Fishery Research Report 9 in 3 parts.
The application of modern land management practices beginning at the turn of the 20th century is widely believed to have dramatically transformed forest landscapes of the inland Pacific Northwest. Restoring historical conditions to make forests resilient to future climate and disturbance regimes is a major goal of federal forest managers....
The influence of natural enemies and plant apparency in
determining the abundance of the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae L.
and the imported cabbageworm Pieris rapae L. was examined on collards
grown in a collard monoculture and in a collard-alfalfa biculture.
This design was used to examine the factors affecting collardherbivore...
Seventy-six competitive swimmers from eight swimming
teams were surveyed about swimmer's shoulder symptoms over
the past year, then were placed into symptomatic levels:
nonsymptomatic and symptomatic with the symptomatic sample
divided into moderately and highly symptomatc levels.
Swimmers were videotaped to evaluate maximum body
roll and the simultaneous angle of...
The shake and wash technique (samples placed in a jar with alcohol added and
shaken to remove the mites) was effective in removing 100% of the predator mites, and adult
spruce spider mites from Douglas-fir foliage and 98% of the spruce spider mite nymphs.
Eighty-eight percent of the spruce spider...
Because of their high cost, reducing the number of boards used to fill an
order of dimension parts is an important goal in a lumber rough mill. FLCO
(Fuzzy Logic Cutting Order) is a computer program that achieves this goal.
Using the concepts of fuzzy logic control, FLCO provides a...
