  • Interrelationships among characteristics of body form and milk production in dairy cattle

    Creator:
    Ufford, Glen Raymond
    Abstract:
    Evaluations of body form and measures of milk production were recorded for 188 Holstein lactations and 77 Jersey lactations in the Oregon State University Dairy Herds. Components of body form included general appearance, dairy character, body capacity, and mammary system and 34 sub-components of these four traits plus body weight...

  • The effect of rootstock on the performance of the Vitis vinifera cultivars Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot gris and Merlot

    Creator:
    Shaffer, Raymond Glen
    Abstract:
    This study reports finding of two rootstock experiments planted in 1997. The purpose of the first experiment was to evaluate the performance of Pinot noir on 19 phylloxera-resistant rootstocks and as an ungrafted vine. The purpose of the second experiment was to evaluate the performance of V. Vinifera cultivars Pinot...

  • Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

    Creator:
    Acuna, Mauricio A.
    Abstract:
    There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...

  • The Value of New Technology : View Toward Reassessment

    Creator:
    White, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Abraham Heschel wrote that a philosopher's primary task was not merely to describe and judge the modes and facts of actual human behavior, but also to examine and understand the meaninq of those descriptions and judgements of modes and facts (Bella, 1978). Our values are critically tied to our structures...

  • In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

    Creator:
    Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
    Abstract:
    To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...

  • An investigation of factors affecting the optimal output log distribution from mechanical harvesting and processing systems

    Creator:
    Marshall, Hamish Douglas
    Abstract:
    Globally the forest harvesting industry is becoming increasingly mechanized. Driving this trend is the desire to increase productivity and reduce cost, as well as to improve labor-related issues. With mechanization comes an in-forest platform for the introduction of state-of-the-art communication and measurement technologies, and powerful on-board computers. These systems have...

  • Estimating spatial changes in acoustic velocity in felled Douglas-fir stems

    Creator:
    Dowding, Bodie
    Abstract:
    To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...

  • Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

    Creator:
    Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
    Abstract:
    Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

  • An investigation into the metamorphosis of Dicamptodon ensatus (Eschscholtz)

    Creator:
    Clothier, Glen Warren
    Abstract:
    The investigation was conducted from January 1965 to March 1966. An intensive effort was made to obtain large numbers of animals, as it is believed that unavailability of specimens has been the limiting factor in the amount of research concerning this species. Two hundred and sixty-nine animals were collected. They...
