This book comprises an excursion through space weather, a scientific topic in rapid growth and with growing impact and complications for technological societies. The emphasis of the present volume is on the origins of space weather: the Sun and the solar mind. Very much as the S…
This book fulfills the global need to evaluate measurement results along with the associated uncertainty. In the book, together with the details of uncertainty calculations for many physical parameters, probability distributions and their properties are discussed. Definitions of…
Novel conceptual analysis, fresh historical perspectives, and concrete physical examples illuminate one of the most thought-provoking topics in physics.
Covering the accepted papers of the 2015 International Conference on Testing and Measurement: Techniques and Applications(TMTA2015), January 16-17, 2015, Phuket Island, Thailand. The book is divided into 6 sessions: Microwave, Ultrasonic and Acoustic Measurement and Application;…
Modern Standardization -- Case Studies at the Crossroads of Technology, Economics, and Politics covers the development of new technical standards, how these standards are typically triggered, and how they are submitted to standards development organizations (SDOs) for review and…
Messen ist immer schon Macht und Menetekel zugleich, seit im alten Ägypten der Lauf der Gestirne über lange Zeiträume beobachtet, als Aktion der Götterwelt interpretiert und mit Hilfe der Vorhersage der alljährlichen Nilüberschwemmung der Arbeits- und Lebensrhythmus des Volkes b…
"This book is a revisionist account of attempts to unify clock times, calendars, and social time, and a methodological intervention in discussions about writing global and transnational history. The book uses the reform of time between 1870 and 1950 as a lens through which to un…
Measurement forms an essential part of our view of the world. Our world is measured and calibrated, and we are all subject to the tyranny of these numbers. In this updated and extended edition, Jeffrey Huw Williams outlines the history of measurement; particularly of the Interna…
This book is the first textbook with the generalization of Dimensional Analysis, specially prepared to solve problems of identification of mathematical models based on experimental data. The generalization gives the possibility of mathematical model invariant with regard to gaug…
This book describes of basic principles of electromagnetic induction measurements and consolidates the outcomes of recent research. It encompasses pipeline electromagnetic flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, multiphase flow electromagnetic flowmeters and flow field of elec…
Figliola and Beasley's 6th edition of Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements provides a time-tested and respected approach to the theory of engineering measurements. An emphasis on the role of statistics and uncertainty analysis in the measuring process makes this text un…
Metrology is the science of measurements. It is traceable to measurement standards, thus to the concept of measurement accuracy, which is used in all natural and technical sciences, as well as in some fields of social sciences and liberal arts.The key problem is one of obtaining…
