Tb101: The Relevance Of Option Value In Benefit-Cost Analysis, Stephen D. Reiling, Mark W. Anderson Nov 1980

Tb101: The Relevance Of Option Value In Benefit-Cost Analysis, Stephen D. Reiling, Mark W. Anderson

Technical Bulletins

This publication represents a review and a critical re-evaluation of the literature dealing with option value. This literature is rich and dynamic and provides a fascinating sequence of articles, comments, and rebuttals. Reevaluation of the concept requires a rather comprehensive review of this literature, which is something that has not been provided to date. The literature review is also important because the work of some authors has been systematically overlooked in the course of the debate. As a result of this oversight, the original formulation of the concept continues to be cited in the literature even though its practical significance …


B771: Long-Time Series Temperature And Precipitation Records For Maine, 1808-1978, William R. Baron, David C. Smith, Harold W. Borns Jr., James Fastook, Anne E. Bridges Aug 1980

B771: Long-Time Series Temperature And Precipitation Records For Maine, 1808-1978, William R. Baron, David C. Smith, Harold W. Borns Jr., James Fastook, Anne E. Bridges

Bulletins

The purpose of this Bulletin is to reconstruct a series of long run temperature and precipitation instrumental records for Maine (monthly means and accumulations). We hope that the data tables and graphs produced here will be of use to climatologists and other researchers and to Maine residents who are interested in the climatic history of the state. To aid in reconstruction, regional records were formed by grouping records from several geographical locations.

Much of the data reproduced here have been published elsewhere in a wide variety of publications. Some are found easily in libraries while others are not readily available. …


Tb98: Oxygen Diffusion Rate Relationships Under Three Soil Conditions, J. Bornstein, W. E. Hedstrom, F. R. Scott Jul 1980

Tb98: Oxygen Diffusion Rate Relationships Under Three Soil Conditions, J. Bornstein, W. E. Hedstrom, F. R. Scott

Technical Bulletins

The objective of this study was to determine the oxygen diffusion rate (ODR)—soil moisture relationship for three sieved, root-free soils to determine if there are basic ODR-soil characteristic differences that might influence data at different soil water contents in the presence of plant roots. Advanced knowledge of ODR-soil moisture relationships would also help scientists to evaluate the effect of variation in the water table on plant growth.
