The Iterated Extended Kalman smoother (IEKS) is shown to be equivalent to one iteration of the Expectation Maximisation (EM)-based SAGE algorithm for the class of nonlinear signal models containing polynomial dynamics. Thus the IEKS is a maximum a posteriori (MAP) state sequence estimator for this class of systems. The Iterated Extended Kalman filter (IEKF) can be thought of as a heuristic, onl...

Introduction to Cryptography with Open-Source Software is a well written text book covering many aspects: an introduction to cryptography, a clever use of the open source algebra system Sage and various exercises on cryptography and Sage. It provides a very good understanding of practical cryptography. Many mathematical algorithms and cryptographic schemes are discussed in detail and illustrate...

the investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at wondo genet agricultural research center nursery site. four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...
