Molt in Neotropical Birds Life History and Aging Criteria

Molt in Neotropical Birds Life History and Aging Criteria

Molt is an important avian life history event in which feathers are shed and replaced. The timing duration seasonality extent and pattern of molt follows certain strategies and this book reviews and describes these strategies for nearly 190 species based on information gathered from a 30-year study of Central Amazonian birds. Most species accounts are illustrated with several color photos focusing on wing and tail feather molt molt limits and how to use these patterns to accurately age birds. Published in collaboration with and on behalf of the American Ornithological Society this volume in the highly-regarded Studies in Avian Biology series is a rich source of life history information for ornithologists working on tropical birds. | Molt in Neotropical Birds Life History and Aging Criteria

Becoming a Public Relations Writer Strategic Writing for Emerging and Established Media

Becoming a Public Relations Writer Strategic Writing for Emerging and Established Media

The sixth edition of Becoming a Public Relations Writer continues its place as an essential guide to the writing process for public relations practice. Smith provides comprehensive examples guidelines and exercises that allow students to both learn the fundamentals of public relations writing and practice their writing skills. Ethical and legal issues are woven throughout the text which covers public relations writing formats for both journalistic and organizational media. This new edition updates and expands its coverage of writing for digital and social media—including blogs websites and wikis as well as social networking (Facebook) microblogging (Twitter) photo sharing (Instagram and Snapchat) and video sharing (YouTube). This range reflects the current landscape of public relations writing preparing undergraduate students for a public relations career. Becoming a Public Relations Writer is a trusted resource for courses in public relations media writing and strategic communication. Previous editions of this text have been adopted by more than 190 colleges and universities in the U. S. and among other English-speaking nations. Complementary online materials are provided for both instructors and students; instructors have access to support materials such as test banks chapter overviews and a sample syllabus while students will benefit from career prep resources such as ethics codes an overview of professional organizations and sample news packages.

Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing

Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing

Continuing in the footsteps of the pioneering first edition Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing Second Edition explores the most up-to-date signal and image processing methods for dealing with remote sensing problems. Although most data from satellites are in image form signal processing can contribute significantly in extracting information from remotely sensed waveforms or time series data. This book combines both providing a unique balance between the role of signal processing and image processing. Featuring contributions from worldwide experts this book continues to emphasize mathematical approaches. Not limited to satellite data it also considers signals and images from hydroacoustic seismic microwave and other sensors. Chapters cover important topics in signal and image processing and discuss techniques for dealing with remote sensing problems. Each chapter offers an introduction to the topic before delving into research results making the book accessible to a broad audience. This second edition reflects the considerable advances that have occurred in the field with 23 of 27 chapters being new or entirely rewritten. Coverage includes new mathematical developments such as compressive sensing empirical mode decomposition and sparse representation as well as new component analysis methods such as non-negative matrix and tensor factorization. The book also presents new experimental results on SAR and hyperspectral image processing. The emphasis is on mathematical techniques that will far outlast the rapidly changing sensor software and hardware technologies. Written for industrial and academic researchers and graduate students alike this book helps readers connect the dots in image and signal processing. New in This EditionThe second edition includes four chapters from the first edition plus 23 new or entirely rewritten chapters and 190 new figures. New
