Field Hydrology in Tropical Countries: A Practical Introduction

A Practical Introduction

Stochastic diffusion models (Ratcliff, 1978) can be used to analyze response time data from binary decision tasks. They provide detailed information about cognitive processes underlying the performance in such tasks. Most importantly, different parameters are estimated from the response time distributions of correct responses and errors that map (1) the speed of information uptake, (2) the amou...

SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language, deals with the structural markup of electronic documents. It was made an international standard by ISO in October 1986. SGML soon became very popular thanks in particular to its enthusiastic acceptance in the editing world, by large multinational companies, governmental organizations, and, more recently, by the ubiquity of HTML, HyperText Markup L...

Eemote sensing applications to hydrology: introduction

This is the first of a proposed series of Special Issues of Hydrological Sciences Journal meant to give state-of-the-art overviews of the sciences covered in the different Commissions and Committees of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). The International Committee for Remote Sensing and Data Transmission (ICRSDT) organized this first Special Issue to cover the curren...
