The computer code MIXBATH has been applied to compare model predictions with six years of leachate collection data from five lysimeters located at Oak Ridge and five located at Argonne National Laboratories. The goal of this study was to critique the applicability of these data for use as a...

For most irrigation systems, the most practical method for determining the global distribution uniformity (i.e., that experienced by the entire crop) is to measure the uniformity resulting from several components and combine them statistically. In this paper, procedures and equations are...

Background: In this paper we propose the use of the within-subject coefficient of variation as an index of a measurement's reliability. For continuous variables and based on its maximum likelihood estimation we derive a variance-stabilizing transformation and discuss confidence interval...
