Aspen Potential - A Land Manager's Viewpoint, Bruce B. Hronek Jan 1976

Aspen Potential - A Land Manager's Viewpoint, Bruce B. Hronek

Aspen Bibliography

From a land manager's viewpoint, the management of aspen has been lacking. However, the potentials of aspen as a viable and meaningful species that will contribute much to the forest environment and economics is both possible and practical.

Kiln Drying Characteristics Of Studs From Rocky Mountain Aspen And Wisconsin Aspen, James C. Ward Jan 1976

Kiln Drying Characteristics Of Studs From Rocky Mountain Aspen And Wisconsin Aspen, James C. Ward

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen studs, 7/4-inch thick, from Rocky Mountain and Wisconsin trees will dry to required moisture contents within similar periods of time under conventional and high temperature kiln schedules. Bacterial wetwood occurs in both Rocky Mountain and Wisconsin aspen and causes severe drying problems from wet pockets, collapse, honeycomb, and ring failure. Presorting green lumber is a suggested solution to the wetwood problem.

Understory Production Not Predictable From Aspen Basal Area Or Density, K.E. Severson, J.J. Kranz Jan 1976

Understory Production Not Predictable From Aspen Basal Area Or Density, K.E. Severson, J.J. Kranz

Aspen Bibliography

Analysis of effects of aspen basal area and density on production of understory vegetation revealed no useful predictive relationships using the model log Y = a + bX. However, as the proportion of ponderosa pine basal area increased in aspen-pine stands, understory production declined in a predictable manner. Root biomass, total biomass, and/or growth rate of aspen may be more closely related to understory production than measures of aspen overstory.

Aspen Mortality In Rocky Mountain Campgrounds, Thomas E. Hinds Jan 1976

Aspen Mortality In Rocky Mountain Campgrounds, Thomas E. Hinds

Aspen Bibliography

Aspens die from canker disease infections as a result of mechanical injuries to the live bark inflicted by thoughtless campers. Dead trees usually are cut to reduce camper hazard. Aspen loss is related to campground age. A desirable aspen-type camp unit can be degraded to a treeless site of grass, forbs, and shrubs within 10 to 20 years. The management of aspen campgrounds must be altered if the resource is to be maintained.

Problems And Opportunities Associated With Aspen Logging Systems, Wendell H. Groff Jan 1976

Problems And Opportunities Associated With Aspen Logging Systems, Wendell H. Groff

Aspen Bibliography

The opportunities in equipment selection, production ranges and specialization available to a logger producing volume from a coniferous species in many cases are not available to an aspen logger. The logger must identify the limiting factors and design a logging system accordingly.

Bird Populations Of Aspen Forests In Western North America, J.A. Douglas Flack Jan 1976

Bird Populations Of Aspen Forests In Western North America, J.A. Douglas Flack

Aspen Bibliography

The patterning of populations of plants and animals is probably the result of selection over time of organisms according to their individual physiological tolerances, behavioral adaptations to an environmental complex, and geographical availability (Gleason 1926).

Aspen Resource In The Southwest, Darrell W. Crawford Jan 1976

Aspen Resource In The Southwest, Darrell W. Crawford

Aspen Bibliography

There is a relatively large source of unused aspen in the Southwest. If markets can be developed, there are challenging opportunities to utilize more of this fiber. Most aspen in the Southwest is classified in the marginal component because of steep slopes, accessibility and low market values. To meet the logging constraints of this component is a real challenge to prospective purchasers. However, commercial opportunities are feasible on the Carson, Santa Fe, Apache and Kaibab National Forests.

Management Of The Great Salt Lake: A Research Plan And Strategy, Craig T. Jones, Calvin G. Clyde, J. Paul Riley Jan 1976

Management Of The Great Salt Lake: A Research Plan And Strategy, Craig T. Jones, Calvin G. Clyde, J. Paul Riley

Reports

The primary purposes of this report are to indicate the following two research items in connection with the management of the water resource system of the Great Salt Lake:\ 1. Research needs and priorities. 2. A research coordination strategy. Research needs are identified by the report in terms of (1) various management, or use, categories (such as lake industries), and (2) the need to understand the physical characteristics of the lake system itself. The research needs are identified in each category as information (including data) or understanding gaps, in cases where there seems to be sufficient information, a research need …


Capability Of Integer Programming Algorithms In Solving Water Resource Planning Problems, Trevor C. Hughes, William J. Grenney, A. Bruce Bishop, Calvin G. Clyde, Rangesan Narayanan, Paul E. Pugner Jan 1976

Capability Of Integer Programming Algorithms In Solving Water Resource Planning Problems, Trevor C. Hughes, William J. Grenney, A. Bruce Bishop, Calvin G. Clyde, Rangesan Narayanan, Paul E. Pugner

Reports

The feasibility of optimizing large regional water resource planning problems by means of integer programming algorithms is analyzed. Two types of integer programming models are developed: (1) A water supply model including 23 separate but geographically related community systems; and (2) a river basin water quality model including 15 point sources of wastewater, 4 types of pollutants, 6 surveillance points, and 7 alternative treatment processes. The water supply model was structured as a mixed integer problem (some continuous variables included) while the water quality model was an all integer problem. Four integer programming algorithms were tested on the sample problems …


The Sims Technique: An Introduction, Roy W. Esplin Jan 1976

The Sims Technique: An Introduction, Roy W. Esplin

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

This is a tutorial paper on the SIMS. The SIMS is an acronym for the spectrométre inter - férentiel à modulation sélective (selective modulation interference spectrometer), recently introduced by Maréchal and Fortunato. The paper reviews the basic principles of operation, the properties, the implementation configurations, and the current investigations of the SIMS at Utah State University. The following properties make the SIMS a powerful spectroscopic instrument. It has an extremely large optical throughput. For example, the SIMS can be configured with a light gathering capability, throughput, thousands of times larger than that of a conventional slit spectrometer. The SIMS does …

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

An all- electronic scanning spectrometer is described which is capable of scanning the 0.6 to 1 u spectral region at scan rates of up to 10,200 scans /second at a resolution of better than 15 $. An image dissector photoelectron multiplier tube is used as the detection device. The minimum detectable signal of the system is Zess than 1 x 10 -E w cm-2 2-1 at 0.8 u. The instrument occupies a volume of less than half a cubic foot and is designed for operation in a KC -135 aircraft. Video magnetic tape recording is used, and a digital read …


Optical Radiation From The Atmosphere, Doran J. Baker, William R. Pendleton Jr. Jan 1976

Optical Radiation From The Atmosphere, Doran J. Baker, William R. Pendleton Jr.

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

The -interface region which lies between the meteorological atmosphere of the Earth and "outer" space is a source of abundant optical radiation. The purpose of this paper is to provide the optical instrumentation engineer with a generalized understanding and a summary reference of naturally -occurring aerospace radiation phenomena. The colors of the radiation extend over the full optical spectrum from ultraviolet through the infrared. The emissions, observed during both day and night times , are rich in line and band spectra. The parameterization of atmospheric light by frequency (or photon energy) and by spectral radiance is discussed. The sources of …
