An econometric structure for cost functions with application to municipal water

Creator:: Dyke, Paul Thomas
Abstract:: In an effort to determine empirical cost functions for municipal water supplies in the United States, the writer found it necessary to specify an acceptable mathematical form to represent the cost equation. A preliminary search yielded no theoretically consistent expression adaptable to the problem. The primary concern in the studstimay...

Energy pricing and irrigated agriculture in the Upper Klamath Basin

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service and Jaeger, William K. (William Kenneth)
Abstract:: The conflict over water allocation in the Upper Klamath Basin encompasses many important, complex, and difficult questions. One aspect of the situation, energy pricing, has come under increased scrutiny in connection with relicensing of the Klamath River hydropower operations, which is scheduled to take effect in 2006.

The effects of swinging and sorting with a skidder on yarding and loading efficiency in small diameter Douglas-fir

Creator:: McIntire, John Charles
Abstract:: This study evaluated the impact of using a rubber-tired skidder to keep the landing clear by sorting and decking the logs along the road prior to loading by a self-loading truck. The evaluation was accomplished through detailed time studies conducted on a Koller K-300 yarder, a Crown Super 3000 self-loader,...

Development of a Paper-Based Whole Blood Phenylalanine Assay for PKU Diagnosis and Monitoring in Low Resource Settings

Creator:: Robinson, Robert Tyler
Abstract:: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic inborn metabolic disorder which inhibits the functional production of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). It currently affects one in 15,000 Americans and is the most common amino acid metabolism error found in newborns. Individuals affected with PKU are incapable of metabolizing the amino acid, phenylalanine...

A method of selection of cable harvesting machines for Vermont

Creator:: Stirler, Dennis John
Abstract:: There is much interest in the State of Vermont in cable harvesting. Since there are no time studies available for cable harvesting with various machines in Vermont, it is necessary to arrive at production and cost levels by a different method. The method chosen for this paper is made up...

Opportunity costs : irrigation vs. hydropower

Creator:: Ross, Mark
Abstract:: In recent years we have seen increasing debate over the allocation of PNW water resources. In particular there are conflicts over using the river system for irrigation vs. electricity production. Denying the hydroelectric system water implies higher costs to electricity consumers as producers substitute more expensive nonhydro resources. This research...

Benefits and costs of riparian habitat improvement in the Tualatin River Basin

Creator:: Knoder, Erik and Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute
Abstract:: The Tualatin River in northwest Oregon has been designated as water quality limited by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Restoration and enhancement of riparian areas to improve water quality is one task to be pursued by management agencies. This paper examines some of the potential costs and benefits of...

A cost effectiveness analysis of actions to reduce stream temperature : a case study of the Mohawk watershed

Creator:: Mooney, Sian, 1965-
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem management requires that management prescriptions account for economic and environmental goals that are measured in non-commensurate units. This study examines the economic and environmental trade-offs associated with planting a riparian buffer in trees to reduce stream temperatures in the Mohawk watershed, Oregon. The detrimental effects of...
