Estimating sonar system losses due to signal spatial decorrelation
Sonar performance modelling is often based on loss budget afforded by the standard sonar equation, which inevitably involves various idealisations and assumptions. Field performance of practical sonar systems is often observed to be below the level predicted by the conventional sonar equation based on system technical specifications. The departure in performance of practical systems from ideali...
متن کاملEconomic losses occurring due to brucellosis in Indian livestock populations.
Brucellosis is a serious public health issue in India. Estimation of economic losses occurring due to brucellosis is required to help formulate prevention and control strategies, but has not been done in India. We estimated economic losses due to brucellosis by sourcing prevalence data from epidemiological surveys conducted in India. Data for livestock populations were obtained from official re...
متن کاملMineral Composition and Nutritive Value of Some Common Pasture Weeds
Organic dairy farmers often introduce alternative pasture species, such as chicory (Cichorium intybus) and narrow-leaved plantain (Plantago lanceolata), to their swards because of their higher mineral contents, yet they are concerned about the presence of weed species such as docks (Rumex spp.) and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). The mineral content and nutritive value of both desired and les...
متن کاملEstimating Earnings Losses Due to Mental Illness: a Quantile Regression Appoach
In this paper, we examine the effects of mental illness on earnings by recognizing that effects may vary across the distribution of earnings. Using data from the National Comorbidity Survey, we employ a quantile regression estimator to identify the effects at key points in the conditional earnings distribution. We find that earnings effects vary importantly across the distribution. While averag...
متن کاملEstimating economic losses to tourism in Africa from the illegal killing of elephants
Recent surveys suggest tens of thousands of elephants are being poached annually across Africa, putting the two species at risk across much of their range. Although the financial motivations for ivory poaching are clear, the economic benefits of elephant conservation are poorly understood. We use Bayesian statistical modelling of tourist visits to protected areas, to quantify the lost economic ...
