algal growth and the water quality effects were studied and modeled in the lower reaches of the colusa basin drain as a stream system. statistical techniques such as the correlation matrix and the stepwise multiple regression are performed on such variables as algal biomass, ammonia, nitrate, orthophosphate, temperature, and the solar radiation intensity in deriving an algae statistical model. ...

Many modern EW systems require low noise receivers capable of withstanding wide input power variations over a multioctave bandwidth. These receivers are necessary to protect sensitive components from RF overdrive or to remove AM modulation from incoming signals. Further, multichannel system designs and proximity to the receiver antenna generate requirements for low power and small package size....

A dual frequency ground-based radiometer operating in the 1 to 1.4 cm wavelength range can provide continuous measurements of integrated water vapor and cloud liquid water. Using climatological data, the accuracy of the vapor and liquid determinations is estimated as a function of cloud amount. Limiting factors in the water determination are uncertainties in water vapor absorption coefficients ...

Evaluating rangelands means to identify and create potential and actual rangelands in order to utilize this valuable natural resource properly. Hence, one of the important factors in rangeland management is to determine range suitability and recognize factors affecting it. Weighted Linear Combination Method (WLC) is one of the most common methods used for locating and Analytic Hierarchy Process...
