Introduction to Systems Ecology

Introduction to Systems Ecology

Possibly the first textbook to present a practically applicable ecosystems theory Introduction to Systems Ecology helps readers understand how ecosystems work and how they react to disturbances. It demonstrates—with many examples and illustrations—how to apply the theory to explain observations and to make quantitative calculations and predictions. In this book Sven Erik Jørgensen takes a first step toward integrating thermodynamics biochemistry hierarchical organization and network theory into a holistic theory of systems ecology. The first part of the book covers the laws of thermodynamics and the basic biochemistry of living organisms as well as the constraints they impose on ecosystems. To grow and develop however ecosystems have to evade these thermodynamic and biochemical constraints so the second part of the book discusses the seven basic properties that enable ecosystems to grow develop and survive:They are open systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium. They are organized hierarchically. They have a high diversity. They have high buffer capacities toward changes. Their components are organized in cooperative networks which allows for sophisticated feedback regulation mechanisms and higher efficiencies. They contain an enormous amount of information embodied in genomes. They have emerging system properties. This timely textbook also looks at how systems ecology is applied in integrated environmental management particularly in ecological modeling and engineering and in the assessment of ecosystem health using ecological indicators. Acknowledging that there is still much room for improvement it will inspire ecologists to develop a stronger and more widely applicable ecosystem theory.

G Families of Probability Distributions Theory and Practices

G Families of Probability Distributions Theory and Practices

Statistical distributions are essential tools to model the characteristics of datasets such as right or left skewness bi-modality or multi-modality observed in different applied sciences such as engineering medicine and finance. The well-known distributions like normal Weibull gamma and Lindley are extensively used because of their simple forms and identifiability properties. In the last decade researchers have focused on the more complex and flexible distributions referred to as Generalized or simply G families of probability distributions to increase the modelling capability of these distributions by adding one or more shape parameters. The main aim of this edited book is to present new contributions by researchers in the field of G families of probability distributions. The book will help researchers to: Develop new univariate continuous and discrete G families of probability distributions. Develop new bivariate continuous and discrete G families of probability distributions. Derive beneficial mathematical properties such as ordinary and incomplete moments moment generating functions residual life and reversed residual life functions order statistics quantile spread ordering and entropies and some bivariate and multivariate extensions of the new and existing models using a simple-type copula. | G Families of Probability Distributions Theory and Practices
