Soils of a Semiarid Shortgrass Steppe in Inner Mongolia: Organic Matter Composition and Distribution as Affected by Sheep Grazing
Intensive grazing in the grasslands of northern China results in a loss of soil organic matter (SOM), reduced aggregate stability and a higher abundance of dust storms. It is assumed that an improved grazing management can mitigate these detrimental effects and enhance the carbon sequestration of the steppe soils. This study showed that (1) soil chemical and physical topsoil properties significantly recovered after longterm grazing cessation (>5 years); (2) recovering vegetation and deposition of windblown material initiated the recovery of grazing-degraded areas; (3) aggregate stability and formation in topsoils was increased after grazing cessation; and (4) additional SOM inputs were sequestered in readily decomposable fractions and not stabilised in the long-term.
Image Analysis and Recognition
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, ICIAR 2009, held in Halifax, Canada, in July 2009. The 93 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 164 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image and video processing and analysis; image segmentation; image and video retrieval and indexing; pattern analysis and recognition; biometrics face recognition; shape analysis; motion analysis and tracking; 3D image analysis; biomedical image analysis; document analysis and applications.
Image Analysis
This volume contains the papers presented at the Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, SCIA 2009, which was held at the Radisson SAS Scandinavian Hotel, Oslo, Norway, June 15–18. SCIA 2009 was the 16th in the biennial series of conferences, which has been organized in turn by the Scandinavian countries Sweden, Finland, D- mark and Norway since 1980. The event itself has always attracted participants and author contributions from outside the Scandinavian countries, making it an international conference.

Stereophonica
Episodes in the transformation of our understanding of sound and space, from binaural listening in the nineteenth century to contemporary sound art. The relationship between sound and space has become central to both creative practices in music and sound art and contemporary scholarship on sound. Entire subfields have emerged in connection to the spatial aspects of sound, from spatial audio and sound installation to acoustic ecology and soundscape studies. But how did our understanding of sound become spatial? In Stereophonica, Gascia Ouzounian examines a series of historical episodes that transformed ideas of sound and space, from the advent of stereo technologies in the nineteenth century ...
Computer Vision/Computer Graphics Collaboration Techniques
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computer Vision/Computer Graphics Collaboration Techniques, MIRAGE 2009, held in Rocquencourt, France, in May 2009. The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 83 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics with focus on Computer Vision/Computer Graphics collaboration techniques involving image analysis/synthesis approaches especially concerning theoretical, computational, experimental or industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and image-based model synthesis.
Semantic Multimedia
This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 5th International Conference on Semantics and Digital Media Technologies, SAMT 2010, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in December 2010. As a result of a highly selective review procedure, 12 full papers and 4 short papers were accepted for publication. The contributions present novel approaches for managing, distributing and accessing large amounts of multimedia material. The topics covered include semantic search, analysis and retrieval of images, audio, video, 3D/4D material as well as of computer generated multimedia content. Also addressed are issues relating to semantic metadata management, semantic user interfaces, and semantics in visualization and computer graphics.
Machines
Martin Riches studied architecture in London from 1961-1968. After his move to Berlin in 1969 he practiced architecture for ten years. In 1979, he created his first music machine The Flute Playing Machine and since then has been active in the field of Kinetism and Klangkunst. His works are presented simultaneously as installations and as musical performances. The artist lives and works in Berlin.
