Microcomputers in Environmental Biology


Book Description

At a time when green issues are at the forefront of public consciousness, appropriate methods for the handling of environmental data are especially important for research scientist. This book is intended as practical guide to the use of microcomputers in environmental biology, the study of living organisms in relation to their environment, their distribution in time and space, and their relationships with such factors as temperature, moisture and the chemical elements involved in nutrition and pollution. the ways in which microcomputers can be most usefully employed in the analysis of experiments and surveys, the analysis of multivariate data, radio-tagging and the analysis of animal movement and in modelling complex systems.













Microcomputers in Biology


Book Description

The major objective is to introduce the concept of the microcomputer as a piece of laboratory equipment and to demonstrate not only what advantages may be acquired, but also what pit falls may be met.













Computer Applications in Agricultural Environments


Book Description

Computer Applications in Agricultural Environments talks about the influence of computers on the industry of agriculture. The text explains how computers help to simplify calculations and other duties related to the field. The book's 21 chapters revolve around the relationship of computers, agriculture, and the environment. The majority of the chapters talks about the different simulation controls that the computer can do. Controls include climate control, greenhouse control, greenhouse climate feedback/feed-forward control (GCFFC) control, glasshouse control, crop drying control, sulfur dioxide control, retort control, animal control, broiler-house ventilation control, and poultry-house control. Other topics related to computers and agriculture are also discussed, such as monitoring rainfall interception, grain drying, monitoring techniques for ammonia, and various techniques for remote monitoring. The text covers a wide range of topics in the mentioned fields, and can therefore serve as an excellent reference for students or professors in the field of agriculture.
