  • Life-history and physiological trade-offs to reproduction of invasive and noninvasive Rubus

    Creator:
    McDowell, Susan C.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this dissertation was to improve our understanding of the physiology and life-history of invasive plants and of the mechanisms underlying life-history trade-offs. I compared invasive and noninvasive species of Rubus (blackberry) that grow together in the Pacific Northwest. Three hypotheses were investigated: (1) Invasive Rubus have higher...

  • The Impact of Income Generating Programs at Tarangire National Park, Tanzania

    Creator:
    McDowell, Dylan
    Abstract:
    The newest pilot project at Tarangire National Park (TAR) is Income Generating Programs (IGP) where community groups organize themselves around an activity that earns income. TAR initiated the project by paying for ten members from each of the three existing community groups on the park’s northern end and fifteen members...

  • A feasibility study of a computer-assisted plywood production scheduling system

    Creator:
    Schild, Eric R.
    Abstract:
    Plywood production scheduling for years has been considered, more or less, a sacred activity in which only a select group of individuals with the experience and knowledge could take part. With the advancements in computer technology and related fields, the plywood industry is in a position where more people can...

  • A computerized approach to finding the minimum sample size for single sample attribute sampling plans

    Creator:
    Sylvester, Lancelot G.
    Abstract:
    Much has been written concerning the determination of a single sampling plan given two points on the operating characteristic (OC) curve. A computer program is presented which will provide minimum sample size for single sample attribute sampling plans. The program provides sampling plans based on the binomial distribution. It incorporates...

  • An approximation procedure for the allocation of inspection effort

    Creator:
    Turnblom, John Warren
    Abstract:
    A comparison of two procedures which allocate inspection effort within a production sequence is presented here. The concern for quality and the need to hold down the costs of quality has resulted in mathematical models which locate inspection so that the desired quality is attained at a minimum cost. In...

  • Optimal allocation of screening inspection effort for nonserial production systems

    Creator:
    Yum, Bong Jin
    Abstract:
    The economic aspects of quality control have received wide concern since its developmental stages, however, they have not been sufficiently explored. Moreover, as the need for complex products of high precision and reliability increases, most industrial firms have experienced some difficulties in meeting that need at reasonable costs with their...

  • The physiological effect of posture on cycling

    Creator:
    al-Haboubi, Muhammad
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to investigate the physiological effects of body posture on cycling. The familiar positions of bicycle riding have been the touring posture (hands stretched on top handlebar) and the racing posture (hands bent at the elbow, with the back horizontal). However, a relatively new stance...

  • Optimal product layout in an order picking warehouse

    Creator:
    Jarvis, Jay M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to provide, at a basic level, product layouts for an order picking warehouse that will minimize average order picking time. A statistical model is developed to ensure that optimal results rather than just 'good' results are obtained. It is shown that simple but general...

  • A spatially explicit network-based model for estimating stream temperature distribution

    Creator:
    Cox, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    The WET-Temp (Watershed Evaluation Tool Temperature) model is designed to take advantage of spatially explicit datasets to predict stream temperature distribution. Datasets describing vegetation cover, stream network locations, elevation and stream discharge are utilized by WET-Temp to quantify geometric relationships between the sun, stream channel and riparian areas. These relationships...

  • Geographic variations in water quality and recreational use along the upper Wallowa River and selected tributaries

    Creator:
    McDowell, Theodore R.
    Abstract:
    Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2, 1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations ( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....
