Statistical ecology : a population perspective / by Young, Linda J.,1952-(CARDINAL)331643; Young, Jerry H.,1931-(CARDINAL)331642;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 531-545) and index.Covering a wide range of disciplines, this book explains the formulae, techniques, and methods used in field ecology. By providing an awareness of the statistical foundation for existing methods, the book will make biologists more aware of the strengths and possible weaknesses of procedures employed, and statisticians more appreciative of the needs of the field ecologist. Unique to this book is a focus on ecological data for single-species populations, from sampling through modeling. Examples come from real situations in pest management, forestry, wildlife biology, plant protection, and environmental studies, as well as from classical ecology. This textbook is for late undergraduate and graduate students, and for professionals.

The complete Hogan : a shot-by-shot analysis of golf's greatest swing / by McLean, Jim,1950-author.(DLC)n 90721076 ; McCarthy, Tom,1949-author.(DLC)n 2011071270;
Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-215)."This book looks at Hogan's swing more closely than anything has ever done, and McLean's aim is to describe clearly and concisely its key components. What's more, this book will give you the opportunity, via its rare photographs, to look at and observe Ben Hogan yourself. And along the way McLean will show you how you can integrate Hogan's mechanics into your own game. The key to this book, what makes it like no other, are the three series of film stills of Hogan at his very best in the last 1940s before his terrible car accdident and how McLean uses them to show the details and the important motions of Hogan's entire golf swing"--Provided by publisher."Top golfing instructor Jim McLean uses rare film footage of Ben Hogan to break down the greatest swing of all time. Golf legend Ben Hogan had the perfect golf swing, but how exactly it worked has long been a mystery-until now. Using footage from three never-before analyzed films of Hogan at his very best, Jim McLean analyzes the crucial motions of Hogan's entire golf swing and shows you how to integrate his mechanics into your own game. You'll study Hogan's blend of club head, club shaft, hands, ankles, knees, hops, shoulders, and head motion-a symphony of movements with an ideal sequential development of power. It's as close as you can get to teeing it up with Hogan yourself. Uses more than one hundred stills from three rare films to analyze every key detail of Hogan's perfect swing before the car accident that changed his play, something no book on Hogan has ever done. Reveals the fifteen secrets of Hogan's swing, covering important topics such as the grip, the waggle, the left hip action, lateral motion, rotation and turning movements, head position, and more. Draws extensively on the knowledge of Hogan's friends and competitors, many of them golfing greats themselves. Written by one of Golf Digest's top five teachers , a pioneer in video analysis who also saw Hogan play first hand. There have been many books on Hogan's swing, but never one, including his own, that illustrates his swing at its most perfect, and never one that shows its mechanics so clearly and completely."--Provided by publisher.

Guidebook for evaluating terminal renewal versus replacement options / by United States.Federal Aviation Administration.(CARDINAL)139906; Airport Cooperative Research Program.(CARDINAL)307624; Faith Group, LLC.(CARDINAL)311161; Kohnen-Starkey, Inc.(CARDINAL)311160; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287; Ricondo & Associates.(CARDINAL)307626;
Includes bibliographical references.This guidebook for airport professionals, policy makers, and industry professionals provides a step-by-step process for conducting a business-driven evaluation of competing options to renew or replace airport terminal facilities. Some of the contributing factors of these decision-making tools include life-cycle cost, airside/landside or terminal capacity in relation to passenger demand, facilities obsolescence and condition, development risk, development schedule, changes in regulatory requirements, airline needs, operational constraints, tenant make-up, and airport business model. The process is repeatable and scalable to airports of different sizes. Furthermore, the guidebook is intended to assist airports in identifying the need for terminal redevelopment and selecting among competing options for renewing versus replacing existing terminal facilities. The guidebook promotes a sequential four-step process wherein the need for terminal redevelopment is determined, options are developed, evaluations are performed, and recommendations are documented.Research sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration

The long game : China's grand strategy to displace American order / by Doshi, Rush,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Drawing from decades worth of primary sources, a unique look into the Chinese government's grand strategy and what its true foreign policy objectives mean for the United States. For more than a century, no US adversary or coalition of adversaries--not Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or even the Soviet Union--has ever reached sixty percent of US GDP. China is the sole exception, and it is fast emerging into a global superpower that could rival, if not eclipse, the United States. What does China want, does it have a grand strategy to achieve it, and what should the United States do about it? In The Long Game, Rush Doshi draws from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades worth of party documents, leaked materials, memoirs by party leaders, as well as careful analysis of China's conduct, to provide a history of China's grand strategy since the end of the Cold War. Taking readers behind the Party's closed doors, he uncovers Beijing's long, methodical game to displace America from regional and global order through three sequential "strategies of displacement." Doshi shows how China's strategy is profoundly shaped by key events that change its perception of American power--the end of the Cold War, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the populist elections of 2016, and the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. Doshi offers a comprehensive yet "asymmetric" plan for an effective US response to the China challenge. Ironically, his proposed approach takes a page from Beijing's strategic playbook to undermine China's ambitions and strengthen American order without competing dollar-for- dollar, ship-for-ship, or loan-for-loan. A bold assessment of what the Chinese government's true foreign policy objectives are, The Long Game offers valuable insight to the most important rivalry in world politics."--Provided by publisher.Introduction -- "A coherent body of thought and action" : grand strategy and hegemonic order -- "The party leads everything" : nationalism, Leninism, and the Chinese Communist Party -- "New cold wars have begun" : the trifecta and the new American threat -- "Grasping the assassin's mace" : implementing military blunting -- "Demonstrate benign intentions" : implementing political blunting -- "Permanent normal trading relations" : implementing economic blunting -- "A change in the balance of power" : the financial crisis and the dawn of building -- "Make more offensive moves" : implementing military building -- "Establish regional architecture" : implementing political building -- "Aboard our development train" : implementing economic building -- "Toward the world's center stage" : American decline and China's global ambition -- "Standing tall and seeing far" : the ways and means of China's global expansion -- An asymmetric strategy for US-China competition -- Conclusion.
