Download or read book Solent Science written by M. B. Collins and published by Elsevier Science Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound scientific knowledge is fundamental to the long-term planning and management of the Solent and its coastline. As such, it is appropriate to bring together in this book, the results and observations of various researchers, to establish the present level of understanding of the Solent System. These Proceedings incorporate scientific papers dealing with four different topics, covered over the two days of the Solent Science Conference: coastal processes; water quality and chemistry; biodiversity and conservation; and integrative Solent case studies. The papers are supplemented by a range of short contributions (presented originally as posters) which examine more specific pieces of research, and the findings of the Conference Workshops. Additionally, two maps have been included in the preface, showing the general location and main sites referenced. The present volume provides further recognition of the 'systems approach' to science and management, which attempts to integrate multidisciplinary science through interaction with various decision-making authorities. Given the increasing number of European Directives and the need for their implementation, it is vital that those who work in the Solent have the support of a strong scientific base.
Download or read book Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models written by John Fox and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a modern, data-analytic perspective with a focus on applications in the social sciences, the Third Edition of Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models provides in-depth coverage of regression analysis, generalized linear models, and closely related methods, such as bootstrapping and missing data. Updated throughout, this Third Edition includes new chapters on mixed-effects models for hierarchical and longitudinal data. Although the text is largely accessible to readers with a modest background in statistics and mathematics, author John Fox also presents more advanced material in optional sections and chapters throughout the book. Accompanying website resources containing all answers to the end-of-chapter exercises. Answers to odd-numbered questions, as well as datasets and other student resources are available on the author′s website. NEW! Bonus chapter on Bayesian Estimation of Regression Models also available at the author′s website.
Download or read book Elastic Waves in Random Media written by Serge A. Shapiro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats various generalizations of the classical O'Doherty-Anstey formula in order to describe stratigraphic filtering effects. These are the effects that can be observed when elastic and electromagnetic waves propagate through multilayered structures. Our aim was to treat this topic in a comprehensive manner and present compact results in a didactically simple way, emphasizing the physics of the wave-propagation phenomena. We do not claim mathematical rigidity in all our derivations, however, we are pleased to have obtained quite simple descriptions of scattering, transmission and reflection of wavefields in acoustic, elastic, and poroelastic media which can be useful for various seismological and non-seismological applications.
