Peterson School of Forest Resources A state and transition approach was used to model and map fuelbed, fire hazard, and carbon change under different management and fire regimes for the Okanogan- Wenatchee National Forest in central Washington. Landscape metrics showed different patterns of change over time depending upon the metric considered and the fire and management regime modeled. Fuelbeds characteristic of older forest conditions became more common during the first ~100 years of simulation (coverage increased 5 – 20%), except in those locations where wet forests subject to stand-replacement fire occur (coverage decreased 6 – 12%). -

s t a o l F d g n o l 5 a 5 a 9 t s 1 r a e e C c n d i n s n i - e a F M , s y o u B Polyform - the Originator of the modern Plastic Buoy 2 Polyform ® was established in Ålesund, Norway in the year of 1955 and was the first company in the world to produce an inflatable, rotomolded soft Vinyl buoy. The product was an instant success and was immediately accepted in the domestic as well as overseas markets. Products and machinery were gradually developed and improved until the first major leap forward in our production technology happened in the 1970’s and early 1980’s when specially designed, in-house constructed machinery for rotomolding of our buoys and fenders was developed and put into use. Such type of machinery at that time was truly unique in the world of molding buoys and fenders. More recent and even more revolutionary developments took place in the new millennium, by our designing and constructing of the first ever fully automated and robot assisted production machinery, built for molding of inflatable fenders. Ever since the start in 1955, our company has been committed to further expand the range and to further develop, customize and improve the individual products. Today, Polyform ® of Norway can offer the widest range of inflatable buoys and fenders , expanded foam marina fenders, purse seine floats and an extensive range of hard-plastic products for use throughout the marine industry, including aquaculture/fish-farming, offshore oil and gas industry, harbors, ships, marina industry and custom made products also for land-based applications. -
1.0 Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 MARINE RECREATION AND TOURISM IN HAWAI‘I Hawai‘i hosts approximately seven million visitors each year who spend more than US $11 billion in the state and in the last 20 years tourism has increased over 65% (Friedlander et al., 2005). More than 80% of Hawaii’s visitors engage in recreation activities in the state’s coastal and marine areas with the majority of these individuals participating in scuba diving (200,000 per year) or snorkeling (3 million per year) when visiting (Hawai‘i DBEDT, 2002; van Beukering & Cesar, 2004). Other popular marine recreation activities include ocean kayaking, parasailing, swimming, outrigger canoeing, and surfing. Coral reef areas are a focal point for much of this recreation use, but these areas are also a natural resource that has considerable social, cultural, environmental, and economic importance to the people of Hawai‘i. For example, the state’s reefs generate US $800 million in revenue and $360 million in added value each year (Cesar & van Beukering, 2004; Davidson et al., 2003). These reefs are also important for local residents, as approximately 30% of households in the state have at least one person who fishes for recreation and almost 10% of households also fish for subsistence purposes (QMark, 2005). As popularity of Hawaii’s reef areas continues to increase, demand for access and use can disrupt coastal processes, damage ecological integrity of reef environments, reduce the quality of user experiences, and generate conflict among stakeholders regarding appropriate management responses (Orams, 1999). As a result, state regulatory agencies such as Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) are faced with a set of challenges that include determining use thresholds and how to 1 manage and monitor use levels to ensure that thresholds are not violated, protecting reef environments from degradation, and ensuring that user experiences are not compromised. -

Noble Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No.8 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 1993 Ie ------ -- -- - -- --_.- - ----------------------------- --- ----- ABSTRACT During June and July of 1988, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center performed limited testing at four historic lighthouse complexes within Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The lighthouses, which still protect shipping at the western end of Lake Superior, were scheduled for exterior restoration work. Specifically, immediate plans called for the installation of drainage systems about certain structures on Sand Island, Michigan Island, Outer Island, and Devils Island to mitigate continuing ground water damage to their foundations. Archeological investigations sought to assess the potential impacts to cultural resources in those areas of the light stations that would be disturbed by proposed developments. Shovel probes and controlled test excavations were used to examine the proposed drain alignments, as well as construction staging areas. No significant cultural resources were discovered during the five-week project that would warrant modification of the drainage systems or further archeological excavation prior to construction of these improvements. -

60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955
Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 - 2018 Part 4: Europe & Canada Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 4: Europe & Canada. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications. -
