  2. Skyline logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_logging

    Cable Yarding System in Lushoto, Tanzania. Skyline logging (or skyline yarding) is a form of cable logging in which harvested logs are transported on a suspended steel cable (a cableway or "highline") from where the trees are felled to a central processing location.

  3. Cable logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_logging

    High Lead logging in Western Oregon Cable grue Larix 3T, installed on agricultural tractor. Cable logging, also referred to as skyline logging, is a logging method primarily used on the West Coast of North America with yarder, loaders, and grapple yarders, but also in Europe (Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, France, Italy).

  4. Wood method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_method

    The Wood method, also known as the Merchant–Rankine–Wood method, is a structural analysis method which was developed to determine estimates for the effective buckling length of a compressed member included in a building frames, both in sway and a non-sway buckling modes. [1] [2] It is named after R. H. Wood.

  5. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    Also, this formula is the tape sag correction to be added to the measured distance, so the negative sign in front can be removed and the tape sag correction can be made instead by subtracting the absolute value as is done in the preceding section.

  6. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    The deflection at any point, , along the span of a center loaded simply supported beam can be calculated using: [1] = for The special case of elastic deflection at the midpoint C of a beam, loaded at its center, supported by two simple supports is then given by: [ 1 ] δ C = F L 3 48 E I {\displaystyle \delta _{C}={\frac {FL^{3}}{48EI}}} where

  7. Distance sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_sampling

    Distance sampling is a widely used group of closely related methods for estimating the density and/or abundance of populations. The main methods are based on line transects or point transects .

  8. Hankinson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hankinson's_equation

    Hankinson's equation (also called Hankinson's formula or Hankinson's criterion) [1] is a mathematical relationship for predicting the off-axis uniaxial compressive strength of wood. The formula can also be used to compute the fiber stress or the stress wave velocity at the elastic limit as a function of grain angle in wood .

  9. Earth mover's distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_mover's_distance

    The use of the EMD as a distance measure for monochromatic images was described in 1989 by S. Peleg, M. Werman and H. Rom. [11] The name "earth mover's distance" was proposed by J. Stolfi in 1994, [14] and was used in print in 1998 by Y. Rubner, C. Tomasi and L. G. Guibas.
