 Accelerated Plant Breeding, Volume 4: Oil Crops by Satbir Singh Gosal English | EPUB | 2022 | 557 Pages | ISBN : 3030811069 | 21.9 MB Plant improvement has shifted its focus from yield, quality and disease resistance to factors that will enhance commercial export, such as early maturity, shelf life and better processing quality. Conventional plant breeding methods aiming at the improvement of a self-pollinating crop usually take 10-12 years to develop and release of the new variety. During the past 10 years, significant advances have been made and accelerated methods have been developed for precision breeding and early release of crop varieties.  A Study of Quality Management of Official Statistics in China by Wuyi Zeng English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 225 Pages | ISBN : 981336601X | 6.6 MB This book focuses on how to improve the quality management of official statistics in China. Official statistics help to build an overview of China's social and economic development and play an important role in policymaking for government as well as in decision-making for enterprises. Because of the great value in reference, the quality of official statistics also constitutes the concern from the public. This book summarizes three levels for understanding the concept of the quality of official statistics and analyzes possible affections from social and economic environment, political and management perspectives.  A Probabilistic Theory of Pattern Recognition by Luc Devroye English | PDF | 1996 | 631 Pages | ISBN : 0387946187 | 44.6 MB Pattern recognition presents one of the most significant challenges for scientists and engineers, and many different approaches have been proposed. The aim of this book is to provide a self-contained account of probabilistic analysis of these approaches. The book includes a discussion of distance measures, nonparametric methods based on kernels or nearest neighbors, Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory, epsilon entropy, parametric classification, error estimation, free classifiers, and neural networks. Wherever possible, distribution-free properties and inequalities are derived. A substantial portion of the results or the analysis is new. Over 430 problems and exercises complement the material.
 A Monograph of Paris (Melanthiaceae): Morphology, Biology, Systematics and Taxonomy by Yunheng Ji English | EPUB | 2021 | 211 Pages | ISBN : 9811579024 | 99.4 MB This book provides essential information on the morphology, biology, phytochemistry, pharmaceutical prospects, evolution, phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomy of Paris (Melanthiaceae), a morphologically distinctive plant genus with great economic importance. Since the establishment of this genus, 70 species and 24 subspecific taxa have been described, resulting in considerable confusion in species delimitation.
 A Journey through Manufacturing and Supply Chain Strategy Research: A Tribute to Professor Gianluca Spina by Emilio Bartezzaghi English | PDF | 2016 | 246 Pages | ISBN : 3319311034 | 22.8 MB The book is a 'Liber Amicorum' for the late Gianluca Spina, Professor at Politecnico di Milano, Italy, who was well-known and respected in the European Operations Management research community. It consists of reprints of 7 of his most important cited and representative papers, spanning his research career from the early 90s and presenting his research trajectory. Each paper has original comments by one or two relevant international scholars in the field, who were also his close friends. These offer a critical discussion of the papers' content, as well as a discussion of their contribution to the academic debate since publication.  A How To Guide For Medical Students by Michael J. Englesbe English | PDF | 2017 | 167 Pages | ISBN : 3319428950 | 6.1 MB This book discusses personal traits and rationale for any student considering a career in surgery. The authors review accomplishments as a medical student that are key components of beginning a surgical career, and highlight what makes a student competitive for a surgical program. While much of the focus is on an academic career in surgery, sections are devoted to mentorship, research experience and personal experiences that lead to success and are relevant to anyone pursuing a surgery. The editors also focus on gender and work-life balance issues that are often perceived as barriers to a career in surgery.  A Graduate Course in NMR Spectroscopy by Ramakrishna V. Hosur English | EPUB | 2022 | 321 Pages | ISBN : 3030887685 | 38 MB This textbook is designed for graduate students to introduce the basic concepts of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR), spectral analysis and modern developments such as multidimensional NMR, in reasonable detail and rigor. The book is self-contained, so, a unique textbook in that sense with end of chapter exercises included supported by a solution manual. Some of the advanced topics are included as Appendices for quick reference. Students of chemistry who have some exposure to mathematics and physics will benefit from this book and it will prepare them to pursue research in different branches of Chemistry or Biophysics or Structural Biology.  A Geoinformatics Approach to Water Erosion: Soil Loss and Beyond by Tal Svoray English | EPUB | 2022 | 364 Pages | ISBN : 3030915352 | 103.6 MB Degradation of agricultural catchments due to water erosion is a major environmental threat at the global scale, with long-lasting destructive consequences valued at tens of billions of dollars per annum. Eroded soils lead to reduced crop yields and deprived agroecosystem's functioning through, for example, decreased water holding capacity, poor aeration, scarce microbial activity, and loose soil structure.  A Concise Introduction to Data Compression by David Salomon English | PDF | 2008 | 318 Pages | ISBN : 1848000715 | 2.5 MB Compressing data is an option naturally selected when faced with problems of high costs or restricted space. Written by a renowned expert in the field, this book offers readers a succinct, reader-friendly foundation to the chief approaches, methods and techniques currently employed in the field of data compression.  A Concise History of Byzantium by Warren Treadgold English | EPUB | 2020 | 300 Pages | ISBN : 1352009897 | 3.4 MB This introductory text provides a concise overview of the history of Byzantium, from AD 285, when it first separated from the Western Roman Empire, to 1461, when the last Byzantine splinter state disappeared.
