Total suspended matter is an important water quality parameter, and plays a key role in water quality evaluation, especially of inland waters. Many different methods have been developed to estimate TSM from remote sensing data, in which empirical methods and model-based methods are two types of commonly used methods. Compared with empirical methods, model-based methods have the advantages of de...

Four equivalent approaches of estimating variance components from mixed-model equations including the relationship matrix are presented. One procedure involves simultaneous diagonalization of the coefficient matrix (Z'MZ) and the inverse of the numerator relationship matrix (A-1). After simultaneous diagonalization, the absorbed coefficient matrix of the mixed-model equations is diagonal, so so...

We present a practical S-matrix to potential inversion procedure for coupled-channel scattering. The inversion technique developed is applied to non-diagonal S J ll ′ for spin one projectiles, yielding a tensor interaction T R and is also applicable to spin-1 2 plus spin-1 2 scattering. The method is a generalization of the iterative-perturbative, IP, method. It is tested and evaluated and we i...
