"An expanded and revised edition of an essential reference work for university libraries, research laboratories, government institutions and consultancies concerned with the environmental sciences."--
This volume contains 21 chapters, which are principally in-depth reviews, in 6 sections covering: the importance of forage evaluation for humans and animals; estimating the energy value of forages; estimating the protein value of forages; physicochemical approaches; minerals, vi…
An SNR estimation approach and a jamming detector based on wavelet transform theory are presented. The SNR estimator is an in-service, non-data aided estimator that operates on M-PSK and QAM modulated signals transmitted over baseband CWGN channels. The signal and noise power ar…
The goal of this thesis is to develop statistical and learning algorithms for the design, analysis, measurement, and modeling of networking and security systems with specific focus on RFID systems, network performance metrics, user security, and software security. Next, I give a…
The performance of several widely-known methods for analyzing data utilizing nonlinear mixed effects models are evaluated via simulation in two settings. Each setting is a hierarchical mixed effects model in which repeated observations on a subject are modeled by subject-specifi…
