B807: A Study Of The Maine Lamb Industry, George Criner, Russell C. Parker
George K. Criner
This study of the Maine lamb industry is concerned not only with farm-level sheep and lamb production, but also with all aspects of the marketing chain—from the farm to the consumer. Although this study relies primarily upon Maine data the set of opportunities and constraints discussed are generally representative of those found throughout New England.
B848: Economic Analysis Of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Wood Beams, Noel D. Stevens, George K. Criner
B848: Economic Analysis Of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Wood Beams, Noel D. Stevens, George K. Criner
George K. Criner
This study assesses the costs of producing an innovative structural beam developed at the University of Maine that employs Maine’s underutilized timber resources. The new beams are composite beams that are made by reinforcing glue-laminated timber beams, commonly known as glulam, with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in the tension region of the beam. The current study addresses the following research objectives: (1) developing cost models for a range of FRP-reinforced eastern hemlock and non-reinforced southern pine glulam beam alternatives; and (2) conducting sensitivity analyses on key cost parameters.

B835: Landfills And Municpal Solid Waste In Maine, George K. Criner, John M. Halstead, Elizabeth Curtin, Steven C. Deller
George K. Criner
Municipal leaders need current information about alternative disposal methods to make rational decisions on handling their town's waste. To provide an overview of landfilling and other waste-handling methods used in the upper New England states, a group of university researchers from New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont initiated a study of landfills and solid waste management practices. The study involved a comprehensive mail survey of municipalities in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. This report focuses upon and discusses the results of the landfill and solid waste management survey for Maine.
