After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods of estimation of parameters, and problems related to regionalization. However, much of this research appears in journals and reports and usually in a form not easily accessible to practitioners and students-producing a gap between research and practice. Flood Frequency Analysis fills this gap by presenting many of these distributions and estimation procedures in a unified format within a single, self-contained book. Focusing on distribution families popular within the hydrologic community, the authors discuss three parameter estimation methods for each distribution: the method of moments, the maximum likelihood method, and the method of probability weighted moments. They present the details behind the procedures to provide the basis for the computations, and they illustrate each procedure with real data. Most of the computations discussed have been programmed for use with personal computers, and executable versions of these programs are available on CD-ROM from the senior author. Only increased use of new methods and distributions can produce a consensus on their validity. With other books on the subject either limited in scope or seriously outdated, Flood Frequency Analysis provides the ideal vehicle for practicing hydrologists and engineers to explore and apply the latest methods and research results, and in doing so, contribute to the advancement of the field.
"Process Control Engineering" is a textbook for chemical,
mechanical and electrical engineering students, providing the
theoretic fundamentals of control systems, and highlighting modern
control theory and practical aspects of industrial processes. The
introductory nature of the text should appeal to undergraduate
students, while later chapters on linear systems, optimal control,
adaptive control and intelligent control are directed toward
advanced students and practising engineers. The textbook has been
extensively tested in both undergraduate and graduate courses at
the University of Alberta. Features of the book include: "Process
Control Engineering Teachware" (PCET) on one 1.2 Mb IBM-compatible
diskette; summary sections and tables to synopsize basic concepts
and key information; coverage of intelligent control; and an
instructor's manual.
