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

Negotiating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Origins of the Nuclear Order

This volume offers a critical historical assessment of the negotiation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and of the origins of the nonproliferation regime. The NPT has been signed by 190 states and was indefinitely extended in 1995 rendering it the most successful arms control treaty in history. Nevertheless little is known about the motivations and strategic calculi of the various middle and small powers in regard to their ultimate decision to join the treaty despite its discriminatory nature. While the NPT continues to be central to current nonproliferation efforts its underlying mechanisms remain under-researched. Based on newly declassified archival sources and using previously inaccessible evidence the contributions in this volume examine the underlying rationales of the specific positions taken by various states during the NPT negotiations. Starting from a critical appraisal of our current knowledge of the genesis of the nonproliferation regime contributors from diverse national and disciplinary backgrounds focus on both European and non-European states in order to enrich our understanding of how the global nuclear order came into being. This book will be of much interest to students of nuclear proliferation Cold War history security studies and IR. | Negotiating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Origins of the Nuclear Order

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
