Initial study of kiln drying clear Douglas fir planks

Creator:: Stillwell, H. D. and Oregon Forest Products Laboratory
Abstract:: Checking was influenced b drying conditions. This influence was greatest before average moisture content reached 20 per cent, but tension in surface layers caused checking even below this point. Neither high initial dry-bulb temperature nor initial conditions of high equilibrium moisture content were conducive to checking. High temperature and high...

Restoration of Pigeon Guillemot Nesting Habitat Through Removal of Introduced Predators

Creator:: Stark, Samuel B.
Abstract:: The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) in Prince William Sound, Alaska provided impetus for a great deal of research into the ecosystems of the Northern Gulf of Alaska. Buried within the multitude of resulting impacts, which included hundreds of thousands of oiled seabirds and dramatic ecosystem shifts in the...

Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

Creator:: Stark, William D.
Abstract:: The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

A Review of Contemporary Methods for the Presentation of Scientific Uncertainty

Creator:: Makinson, K. A., Hamby, D. M., and Edwards, J. A.
Abstract:: Graphical methods for displaying uncertainty are often the most concise and informative way to communicate abstract concepts. Presentation methods currently in use for the display and interpretation of scientific uncertainty are reviewed. Numerous subjective and objective uncertainty display methods are presented, including qualitative assessments, node and arrow diagrams, standard statistical...

Kiln-drying Oregon maple paper roll plugs

Creator:: Anderson, B. G., Williams, W., Jr., and Oregon Forest Products Laboratory
Abstract:: Four charges of S-inch paper roll plugs of Oregon maple were kiln-dried at various temperatures and humidities. The charge with the most desirable combination of short drying time and low degrade was dried to 12 per cent moisture content in lit hours, using a dry-bulb temperature of 160 degrees F...

Evaluation of a Workplace Treadmill Desk Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Creator:: Schuna, John M., Jr., Swift, Damon L., Hendrick, Chelsea A., Duet, Megan T., Johnson, William D., Martin, Corby K., Church, Timothy S., and Tudor-Locke, Catrine
Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-month treadmill desk intervention in eliciting changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior among overweight/obese office workers. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among overweight/obese office workers (n=41; mean age = 40.1 ± 10.1 years) at a private workplace. Participants were randomly...

PRex: an experiment to investigate detection of near-field particulate deposition from a simulated underground nuclear weapons test vent

Creator:: Keillor, Martin E., Arrigo, Leah M., Baciak, James E., Chipman, Veraun, Detwiler, Rebecca S., Emer, Dudley F., Kernan, Warnick J., Kirkham, Randy R., MacDougall, Matthew R., Milbrath, Brian D., Rishel, Jeremy P., Seifert, Allen, Seifert, Carolyn E., and Smart, John E.
Abstract:: A radioactive particulate release experiment to produce a near-field ground deposition representative of small-scale venting from an underground nuclear test was conducted to gather data in support of treaty capability development activities. For this experiment, aCO₂‐driven “air cannon” was used to inject ¹⁴⁰La, a radioisotope of lanthanum with 1.7‐d half-life...

Contribution of Calcium Oxalate to Soil-Exchangeable Calcium

Creator:: Dauer, Jenny M. and Perakis, Steven S.
Abstract:: Acid deposition and repeated biomass harvest have decreased soil calcium (Ca) availability in many temperate forests worldwide, yet existing methods for assessing available soil Ca do not fully characterize soil Ca forms. To account for discrepancies in ecosystem Ca budgets, it has been hypothesized that the highly insoluble biomineral Ca...

An Anthropological Approach to Teaching Health Sciences Students Cultural Competency in a Field School Program

Creator:: Hutchins, Frank T., Brown, Lori DiPrete, and Poulsen, Keith P.
Abstract:: International immersion experiences do not, in themselves, provide students with the opportunity to develop cultural competence. However, using an anthropological lens to educate students allows them to learn how to negotiate cultural differences by removing their own cultural filters and seeing events through the eyes of those who are culturally...

Prenatal Care in Oregon and Washington: Policy and Utilization for Vulnerable Women

Creator:: Docherty, Angie and Johnston, Alison L.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: In the prenatal period, women can have sustained contact with nurses and other clinicians, forming relationships that are likely to be health enhancing both for the woman and her unborn child. Yet first trimester care use in Oregon dropped noticeably over the past decade. In comparison with Washington State,...
