Download or read book Digital Signal Processing and Spectral Analysis for Scientists written by Silvia Maria Alessio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 900 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the basics of processing and spectral analysis of monovariate discrete-time signals. The approach is practical, the aim being to acquaint the reader with the indications for and drawbacks of the various methods and to highlight possible misuses. The book is rich in original ideas, visualized in new and illuminating ways, and is structured so that parts can be skipped without loss of continuity. Many examples are included, based on synthetic data and real measurements from the fields of physics, biology, medicine, macroeconomics etc., and a complete set of MATLAB exercises requiring no previous experience of programming is provided. Prior advanced mathematical skills are not needed in order to understand the contents: a good command of basic mathematical analysis is sufficient. Where more advanced mathematical tools are necessary, they are included in an Appendix and presented in an easy-to-follow way. With this book, digital signal processing leaves the domain of engineering to address the needs of scientists and scholars in traditionally less quantitative disciplines, now facing increasing amounts of data.

Download or read book Insect Outbreaks written by Bozzano G Luisa and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE PREFACE: The abundance of insects can change dramatically from generation to generation; these generational changes may occur within a growing season or over a period of years. Such extraordinary density changes or "outbreaks" may be abrupt and ostensibly random, or population peaks may occur in a more or less cyclic fashion....The goal of this book is to update and advance current thinking on the phenomenon of insect outbreaks. The contributors have reviewed relevant literature in order to generate a synthesis providing new concepts and important alternatives for future research. More importantly, they have presented new ideas or syntheses that will stimulate advances in thinking and experimentation.
Download or read book Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy written by Kenneth P. Kodama and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy merges environmental magnetism, in which rock magnetic measurements are used to detect past environmental change, and cyclostratigraphy, in which cyclic variations of lithology or a sedimentary rock’s physical properties are related to astronomically-forced paleoclimate change. In addition to providing paleoclimate data, cyclostratigraphy can establish high-resolution chronostratigraphy for a sequence of sedimentary rocks, even at distant times in Earth’s history. This book provides an overview of concepts underlying these two techniques, recipes for the time series analysis of cyclostratigraphy, and case studies to illustrate the variety and breadth of problems addressed by rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy. New Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental Science Because of the plethora of analytical techniques now available, and the acceleration of technological advance, many earth scientists find it difficult to know where to turn for reliable information on the latest tools at their disposal, and may lack the expertise to assess the relative strengths or limitations of a particular technique. This new series will address these difficulties by providing accessible introductions to important new techniques, lab and field protocols, suggestions for data handling and interpretation, and useful case studies. The series represents an invaluable and trusted source of information for researchers, advanced students and applied earth scientists wishing to familiarise themselves with emerging techniques in their field. All titles in this series are available in a variety of full-colour, searchable e-book formats.
Download or read book The Sun Recorded Through History written by J.M. Vaquero and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sun is nowadays observed using di?erent techniques that provide an almost instantaneous 3-D map of its structure. Of particular interest is the studyofthevariabilityinthesolaroutputproducedbythedissipationofm- netic energy on di?erent spatial and temporal scales – the so-called magnetic activity. The 11-year cycle is the main feature describing this phenomenon. Apart from its intrinsic scienti?c interest, this topic is worth studying because of the interaction of such processes with the terrestrial environment. A ?eet of space and ground-based observatories are currently monitoring the behaviour of our star on a daily basis. However, solar activity varies not only on this decadal time-scale, as has been attested mainly through two methods: (a) records of the number of sunspots observed on the solar surface from 1610, and (b) the records of 14 10 cosmogenic isotopes, such as Cand Be, measured in tree-rings and i- cores, respectively. The study of the long-term behaviour of solar activity may be comp- mented by the study of historical accounts describing phenomena directly or indirectly related to solar activity. Numerous scienti?c and non-scienti?c d- uments have reported these events and we can make use of them as a proxy of solar activity in past times.
Download or read book The Monte Carlo Method written by Metodi Mazhdrakov and published by ACMO Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-08-19 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I look to the left… NOTHING? I look to the right… NOTHING? So, I say to myself: There is SOMETHING here… One of mankind’s successful attempts to find out what that SOMETHING is the Monte Carlo Method. The method, as well as many of the achievements of mankind, was created for military purposes as part of the scientific tasks associated with the creation of the atomic bomb. The event was super secret and everything was encrypted. The code name of the method – Monte Carlo, has proved to be very successful and has survived in civilization (suck fate has the name of the armoured fighting vehicle – tank). The task was to create a method for modeling the behavior of a complex probability system. The classic solution is to present the phenomenon with one, two, etc. (but always a limited number) indicators. The new solution is the opposite – "artificially" increasing the number of input/output information. Currently, the Monte Carlo Method is effective, and in some cases – the only one, solution for a wide range of tasks from all areas of scientific knowledge. That is why we’ve decided to present yet another exposure of the foundations and some of the Monte Carlo applications. The monograph is divided in two parts. The first part returns the reader during the World War II. We follow the development of the idea of the method and the associated need for creating a powerful enough computer. The first publications are mentioned and are examined the scientific basics of the method and some basic algorithms. The second part contains applications of Monte Carlo method for solving tasks that can be characterized as "engineering". Without neglecting the concrete results obtained, we will point out that the described approaches for the practical application of the Monte Carlo method are of the greatest interest.
