Protocol for Developing Sediment TMDLs
The authors gratefully acknowledge the many comments of reviewers from within EPA and stat environmental agencies, as well as the detailed reviews conducted by Lee iii Foreword Although many pollution sources have implemented the required levels of pollution control technology, there are still waters in the nation that do not meet the Clean Water Act goal of " fishable, swimmable.

متن کاملNoise and nonlinearity in measles epidemics: combining mechanistic and statistical approaches to population modeling.
We present and evaluate an approach to analyzing population dynamics data using semimechanistic models. These models incorporate reliable information on population structure and underlying dynamic mechanisms but use nonparametric surface-fitting methods to avoid unsupported assumptions about the precise form of rate equations. Using historical data on measles epidemics as a case study, we show ...
متن کاملRobust multiplicative video watermarking using statistical modeling
The present paper is intended to present a robust multiplicative video watermarking scheme. In this regard, the video signal is segmented into 3-D blocks like cubes, and then, the 3-D wavelet transform is applied to each block. The low frequency components of the wavelet coefficients are then used for data embedding to make the process robust against both malicious and unintentional attacks. Th...
متن کاملNoise and Nonlinearity in Epidemics : combining statistical and mechanistic modeling to characterize and forecast population dynamics
Childhood disease epidemics in large cities, notably measles, have been proposed as a well-supported example of deterministic chaos underlying complex population dynamics, but this remains controversial. Methods based on nonlinear time series modeling identify these epidemics as nonlinear with substantial random noise, clustering near the transition between stability and chaos. This conclusion ...
متن کاملCorrelations: Description or Inference?
Research is often conducted in agricultural education with the purpose of explaining and/or predicting phenomena. This research is frequently labeled associational, relational, correlational, a m facto or causal-comparative depending primarily upon which author one studied when learning about research. The purpose of explaining is most often addressed by what is known as the correlation questio...
