The impact of alternative cell locations and alternative routes of material handling equipment in the design of cellular manufacturing systems

Creator:: Karim, Yunan
Abstract:: Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) have claimed many advantages over traditional job shop processes. Some of the advantages reported by several users of CMS are reduction in throughput time, reduction in WIP inventory, improvement in product quality, faster response time to customer orders, shorter move distances, increase in manufacturing flexibility, and...

The potential of using log biometrics to track sawmill flow

Creator:: Peterson, Matthew G.
Abstract:: We studied the feasibility of using end-grain characteristics to match individual boards and cants back to their parent Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) logs. After reviewing marking/reading and biometric automated identification systems, we focused on end-grain biometrics because they appear to have the most promise for sawmills. Biometric identification requires that every...

Uncertainty, risk and forest management on the Tillamook State Forest : a case study

Creator:: Stander, Hendrik C.
Abstract:: Forest management is typically associated with a high degree of uncertainty, since it relies on predictions of natural growth processes over long periods of time. A number of methods exist for mitigating the risk associated with this uncertainty, but few have the ability to explicitly minimize risk. This study will...

New tools and approaches to uncertainty estimation in complex ecological models

Creator:: Brugnach, Marcela
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the problem of uncertainty in complex ecological models. The term "complex" is used to convey both the common and scientific meanings. Increasingly, ecological models have become complex because they are more complicated; ecological models are generally multi-variate and multi-leveled in structure. Many ecological models are complex because...

The phytotoxic effects of herbicide and adjuvant application by physiological timing on the woody shrub salal (Gaultheria shallon)

Creator:: Downs, Theodore
Abstract:: Salal is plant species that is native to forestland throughout the PNW and northern California that has been identified as a competitor to early crop tree development. This study consisted of a field and a radioisotope laboratory study to test four commonly used herbicides on salal (imazapyr, triclopyr, glyphosate, and...

The effects of mechanical damage on residual coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirbel] Franco) following commercial thinning

Creator:: Kiser, James D.
Abstract:: Commercial thinning operations can result in damage to residual stems. A literature review revealed that little was known about the effects of residual logging wounds with regard to rotation-age commercial conifers, particularly Douglas-fir. An experiment to examine fungal colonization of Douglas-fir following logging damage showed that while damage was significant...

Non-destructive evaluation of veneer using optical scanning and ultrasonic stress wave analysis systems

Creator:: DeVallance, David B.
Abstract:: Non-destructive commercial ultrasonic grading provides laminated veneer lumber (LVL) manufacturers a means for sorting veneer based on average ultrasonic propagation time (UPT) and/or average dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd). While this may provide reliable estimations of modulus of elasticity (MOE), little is known about the influence of veneer defects on...

Work-Related Eye Injuries Reported to U.S. Trauma Registries

Creator:: Gibbon, Gabrielle O.
Abstract:: Approximately 2,000 workers in the United States sustain work-related eye injuries that require medical treatment every day. While the majority of eye injuries are not fatal, they can cause temporary or permanent vision loss and result in a decrease in the quality of life of the individuals affected. Unlike blindness...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Associated with Reproductive Success of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) at East Sand Island, Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Bailey, Olivia A.
Abstract:: Declines in wild salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations in the Columbia River basin have resulted in managers identifying that avian predation on juvenile salmonids is an important limiting factor for salmonid recovery. Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia), particularly those nesting in the Columbia River estuary, were identified as key avian predators that...
