โฆ Synopsis
Accurate calculations of evapotranspiration using a range of meteorological and crop physiological values in the Penman--Monteith combination formula are compared with results from much simpler schemes based on the same formula but suitable for routine operational calculations. It is shown that for most purposes a scheme using the form of the aerodynamic resistance r a applicable to neutral atmospheric stability in the Penman--Monteith formula gives acceptable results, provided the combination equation has been modified to account for the effects of a difference between surface and air temperature in applications where available energy is calculated rather than measured.

Lagging formed of jackets of porous materials such as glass wool and of impervious materials such as metal sheets are widely used to attenuate the sound radiated from pipes. A procedure is described for calculating the insertion losses produced by such lagging. The procedure yields the insertion los

Method comparison studies are often reported in terms of the 'limits of agreement' between the methods. Many clinical applications use the measurements simply to classify patients, for example, whether or not they are hypoglycaemic. In such circumstances it may be useful to present an estimate of th
