Annotated bibliography of sampling Part A: 1936-92 composite

Composite sampling techniques are getting recognition as means of achieving observational economy when the cost of measurement is high. Accordingly, researchers in different disciplines are investigating composite sample techniques in a variety of applications. One can find applications of composite sampling in as diverse areas as soil sampling, water quality monitoring, bioaccumulation monitoring, infection rates, disease transmission rates, multiaccess communications and many more. Although it is very difficult for a researcher in any discipline to be acquainted with the results on composite sampling applied in other disciplines, it is also important for every researcher to be aware of any such development. An annotated bibliography is expected to serve the purpose of creating a common ground for researchers in different areas where composite sampling is of interest. The annotations are kept as brief as possible, but at the same time as descriptive of the annotated articles as desirable. The bibliography is classified by topics to make it easy to search for the topic of interest, and within a topic, the articles are arranged chronologically to give some idea of the development in this subject area during the last 50 years.
