General concepts in the theory of measurements -- Measuring instruments and their properties -- Statistical methods for experimental data processing -- Direct measurements -- Indirect measurements -- Combined and simultaneous measurements -- Combining the results of measurements…
This work encompasses the full range of measurement data processing. It includes many solid examples that exemplify typical problems encountered in measurement practice, from general theory to practical applications.
The goal of Evaluating Measurement Accuracy: A Practical Approach is to present methods for estimating the accuracy of measurements performed in industry, trade, and scientific research. From developing the theory of indirect measurements to proposing new methods of reduction, t…
Advances in Optical Surface Texture Metrology covers the latest advances in the development of optical surface texture measuring instruments. Rather than concentrate on the basic principles of the optical measurement methods, this book takes a deeper dive into the operation of t…
This carefully researched book presents facts and arguments showing, beyond a doubt, that nuclear fusion power will not be technically feasible in time to satisfy the world's urgent need for climate-neutral energy. The author describes the 70-year history of nuclear fusion; the …
Stratospheric balloons are powerful tools used to study the Earth and its atmosphere, as well as the greater cosmos beyond. This book describes the science and technology behind modern stratospheric ballooning, along with the surprising ways it has impacted our daily lives. The …
Advances in computer power and observing systems has led to the generation and accumulation of large scale weather & climate data begging for exploration and analysis. Pattern Identification and Data Mining in Weather and Climate presents, from different perspectives, most avail…
Measurement is all around us - from the circumference of a pizza to the square footage of an apartment, from the length of a newborn baby to the number of miles between neighboring towns. Whether inches or miles, centimeters or kilometers, measures of distance stand at the very …
Air Pollution Sources, Statistics and Health Effects
This volume of the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology, Second Edition, provides a broad and comprehensive view of air pollution, extending from ground-level, localized air quality and regional and global air quality and effects, to sensors and measurement and …
Of Raman Spectroscopy on Nanocarbons. Annotation, Recent work has shown that Raman spectroscopy has potential to become one of the most important tools for nanoscience and nanometrology, i.e. for standardization and industrial quality of goods based on nanoscience. However, Ram…
Recent work has shown that Raman spectroscopy has potential to become one of the most important tools for nanoscience and nanometrology, i.e. for standardization and industrial quality of goods based on nanoscience. However, Raman spectroscopy is perceived as being too complicat…
