Potentially large savings can be realized within the forest industry by improved machine scheduling, labour scheduling, machine investment, inventory management, and the maximization of wood value. Forecasting must change within the forest industry from Ttguesstimatesll to more efficient production forecasting models. Much work needs to be done with data collection...
State departments of transportation, transportation consultants, and other transportation agencies are always in need of data that can be used to better understand how different modes of transportation use the road and highway systems. A variety of automatic data collection technologies have been used to gather these data including video...

4.1 DATAPROCESSING AND ANALYSIS PROCEDURES FOR THE FIRST
THREE DATA COLLECTION EXPERIMENTS
In the context of forest products, a cutting order is a list of dimension parts along with demanded quantities. The cutting-order problem is to minimize the total cost of filling the cutting order from a given lumber grade (or grades). Lumber of a given grade is supplied to the production...
As ocean ecosystems continue to deteriorate in the face of human induced pressures, marine management professionals are increasingly being urged to predict the impacts of various activities on ocean ecosystems. Many ecosystem interactions are still not adequately understood, so managers often turn to scientists to provide data and analysis on...
Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...
Three library faculty at Oregon State University (OSU), a research intensive university, created the Data Sharing Wizard (the Wizard), a Scenario-Based, online, interactive learning tool that helps students learn about the sharing of research datasets with a focus on intellectual property and decision making. Using the Wizard, students are able...
Sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees, and associated information for Phylogenetic Estimation and Ancestral State Reconstruction of Rubus (Rosaceae) using Target Capture Sequencing
A flipped classroom provides students with course content in the form of videos, readings, and/or simulations that they complete during the time traditionally used for homework assignments while in-class time is devoted to hands-on group learning activities. Project BoxSand is gathering quantitative data on how students in a flipped classroom,...
A sampling criterion which provides a numerical relationship
between sampling rate and worst-case peak error for linear interpolation
of sample points is presented. The criterion, based upon the
second derivative of a waveform, is derived, its properties are observed
for a sine wave, and its applicability to complex signals is...
It is necessary to evaluate and compare the characteristics of
various methods of accessing data-files in order to utilize economically
both the hardware and the software (Space and Time) supported
by the digital on-line system. The purpose of this paper is to
describe and evaluate the structure and use of...
