    Coastal Vegetation, Second Edition presents a general account of the ecology of coastal vegetation in Britain and the North Atlantic. Coastal vegetation comprises the marine algal vegetation of the littoral and sublittoral; the phanerogamic and algal vegetation of salt and brackish marshes; the vegetation of sand dunes together with that of their "slacks"; the specialized vegetation associated with the drift-line; the vegetation of shingle beaches; the plants found on coastal cliffs; and mangrove (Florida). Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to the basic ecological principles, including the phenomenon of vegetation zonation, plant succession, and autecology. The discussion then turns to littoral vegetation, algal vegetation, and salt marshes, along with the salt marsh environment and the vegetation and environment of sand dunes. The book also considers mangrove swamps and shingle beaches before concluding with an overview of coastal cliff vegetation. This monograph will be of use to university students interested in the ecology of coastal vegetation.

  • Digital Picture Processing

    • 1st Edition
    • January 1, 1976
    • Azriel Rosenfeld
    • English
    Digital Picture Processing is a technique-oriented book aiming to teach the more extensive treatments of digital pictures. The book discusses picture processing; the computer representation of pictures; and the mathematical preliminaries involved. The visual perception, the digitization and the different techniques on sampling, and different techniques on compression are also covered. The book also explains the enhancement techniques, such as sharpening and moothing; filtering techniques used in restoration; and the geometry and description of a picture. The text is recommended to students of electrical engineering and computer science, who intend to learn better techniques in picture processing through digital means. The book is also suitable as an advanced undergraduate or a graduate course in picture processing.

    This is the third edition of a book which has consistently fulfilled its aim of making a low-priced collection of tables available to the student and practicing engineer. In the second edition all parameters were made non-dimensional. This new edition now includes and additional table of Isentropic flow; it is hoped that this inclusion will significantly increase the range of application of the book's data.

  • Principles and Applications of Tribology

    International Series in Materials Science and Technology
    • 1st Edition
    • January 1, 1975
    • Desmond F. Moore
    • D. W. Hopkins
    • English
    International Series on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 14: Principles and Applications of Tribology focuses on the principles, methodologies, approaches, and applications of tribology. The publication first ponders on surface topography and friction of metals. Discussions focus on vacuum conditions, effects of sliding speed, hardening of metals, surface contaminants, metal transfer, elastic contact in metals, basic mechanism of friction, junction growth, photogrammetry, texture measurement, outflow meter, surface prints, and actual contact between surfaces. The text then elaborates on friction of elastomers and various materials and hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. Topics include wettability and contact angle, adsorption of lubricants, molecular structure of boundary lubricants, boundary lubrication of metals, velocity distribution, hydrostatic lubrication, friction and wear of diamond, and viscoelasticity. The manuscript also examines bearing design, transportation and locomotion, and automotive applications. The publication is a vital source of information for researchers interested in tribology.

  • Speech Recognition

    Invited Papers Presented at the 1974 IEEE Symposium
    • 1st Edition
    • January 1, 1975
    • D.R. Reddy
    • English
    Speech Recognition: Invited Papers Presented at the 1974 IEEE Symposium discusses several topics, including speech recognition systems, systems organization, acoustic-phonetics, parameter extraction, as well as syntax and semantics. Organized into five parts encompassing 20 chapters, this compilation of papers starts with an overview of the basic structure of speech understanding systems. This text then discusses the practical applications of automatic speech recognition in several areas, including quality control inspection, automated material handling, direct communication with computers, and inventory taking and control. Other chapters consider the operational methods for applying higher level of information to decode the acoustic ambiguities encountered when recognizing larger vocabularies and continuous speech. The final chapter deals with stochastic modeling, which is a valuable and versatile procedure for automatic speech analysis. This book is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence, acoustic-phonetics, linguistics, and computer architecture.
