Описание:
Baby Bird Identification is a comprehensive illustrated guide for distinguishing hundreds of North American bird species in their early stages of life. From the just hatched to the fledgling, Linda Tuttle-Adams walks readers through the process of identifying baby birds that they may encounter in the wild—a first step to ensuring proper care and rehabilitation.
Successful rehabilitation of birds found in the wild requires species-specific attention. But the identification of a baby bird, whether altricial or precocial, may seem overwhelming at first, even to a trained ornithologist. Tuttle-Adams lays out an approachable and systematic method for discerning a baby bird's identity, offering descriptions of telling anatomical and environmental features as well as details of a bird's day-to-day growth.
With over four hundred original watercolor paintings and an illustrated glossary, Baby Bird Identification is an invaluable resource for wildlife rehabilitators, those who find baby birds in their yards or recreational places, and anyone who enjoys watching or studying birds in the wild.
A comprehensive photographic guide to the gull species of the Western Palearctic
Gulls occupy a particularly important place in the world of birds. But because they are notoriously difficult to identify, they have been relatively neglected in the ornithological literature. Gulls of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East offers the most up-to-date guide for gull identification in Europe and beyond.
With a direct and visual approach, and an abundance of beautiful color photographs, this book provides thorough accounts of all species and subspecies of gulls found in the Western Palearctic. The guide compares similar taxa and addresses the complexities of identifying hybrids. Gulls of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East will be the standard work for identifying these birds for some time to come.
Richly illustrated with nearly 1,400 color photographs
Thorough accounts of all species and subspecies of gulls found in the Western Palearctic
Up-to-date information for easy and accurate identification of 45 species

Описание: This book contains examples and exercises with modeling problems together with complete solutions. The contents is tailored to the book Ljung-Glad: Modeling and Identification of Dynamic Systems (Studentlitteratur, 2016). The exercises are of different levels of difficulty and cover general modeling principles (such as bond graphs) as well as practical tools like Modelica and Simscape. System identification, model and signal properties are also covered together with basic techniques for simulation. Most of the problems deal with issues from industrial applications, but also economic, social and medical cases are covered. The text requires certain knowledge in linear algebra, signal and systems and basic familiarity with physics and statistics. The computer exercises assume access to basic software such as Matlab and Simulink, and to some extent Modelica/Dymola/Simscape. The book is suitable for Master level courses in engineering, but also for practicing engineers.

Описание: Mathematical models of real life systems and processes are essential in todays industrial work. To be able to construct such models is therefore a fundamental skill in modern engineering. This is a book about how to build models both from first principles in physics and from information in collected input and output measurements from the system. Physical modelling is nowadays typically done by object oriented software, such as Modelica and Matlabs Simscape. These techniques are described in the book, together with their theoretical and mathematical underlying principles. Domain-independent methods, such as following energy flows in bond graphs gives a useful background for understanding object oriented modelling. Both classical state-space models and general differential algebraic equations (DAE) are treated. The book also gives a comprehensive treatment of system identification, that is, techniques to estimate mathematical models from measured system inputs and outputs. Both linear and non-linear models are treated, including artificial neural networks. The text is related to the Swedish text Modellbygge och Simulering, Studentlitteratur, 2003.
