Synchrotron Radiation
Synchrotron radiation is today extensively used for fundamental and applied research in many different fields of science. Its exceptional characteristics in terms of intensity, brilliance, spectral range, time structure and now also coherence pushed many experimental techniques to previously un-reachable limits, enabling the performance of experiments unbelievable only few years ago. The book gives an up-to-date overview of synchrotron radiation research today with a view to the future, startin...
This book is intended as a guide to the analysis and presentation of experimental results. It develops various techniques for the numerical processing of experimental data, using basic statistical methods and the theory of errors. After presenting basic theoretical concepts, the book describes the methods by which the results can be presented, both numerically and graphically. The book is divided into three parts, of roughly equal length, addressing the theory, the analysis of data, and the pre...
Model Code of Safe Practice in the Petroleum Industry (Petroleum measurement manual)
This guide summarizes what is currently considered by oil loss representatives from the UK refineries to be good practice in that area of operation. The control of hydrocarbon losses can offer significant cost savings for the operator and assist in reducing environmental impact. The guide is dedicated to the principles and effects of measurement on the loss figures and an understanding of the errors and inaccuracies that are involved. This should in turn lead to a better understanding of loss fi...
The book reviews methods for the analysis of astronomical datasets, particularly emphasizing very large databases arising from both existing and forthcoming projects, as well as current large-scale computer simulation studies. Leading experts give overviews of cutting-edge methods applicable in the area of astronomical data mining.
Measurement and Instrumentation introduces undergraduate engineering students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. Based on Morris's Measurement and Instrumentation Principles, this brand new text has been fully updated with coverage of the latest developments in such measurement technologies as smart sensors, intelligent instruments, microsensors, digital recorders and displays and interfaces. Clearly and comprehe...
Scanning Probe Microscopy (NanoScience and Technology)
Scanning Probe Microscopy - Analytical Methods provides a comprehensive overview of the analytical methods on the nanometer scale based on scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy. Numerous examples of applications of the chemical contrast mechanism down to the atomic scale in surface physics and chemistry are discussed with extensive references to original work in the recent literature.

Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods (Fundamental Theories of Physics, #39)
This volume represents the proceedings of the Ninth Annual MaxEnt Workshop, held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, on August 14-18, 1989. These annual meetings are devoted to the theory and practice of Bayesian Probability and the Maximum Entropy Formalism. The fields of application exemplified at MaxEnt '89 are as diverse as the foundations of probability theory and atmospheric carbon variations, the 1987 Supernova and fundamental quantum mechanics. Subjects include sea floor drug...
This book presents carefully edited and peer-reviewed papers from the 2nd International Workshop on Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate (OPAC-2), held in Graz, Austria. It starts with a general introductory paper and proceeds to address the full range from methodology in general via specific occultation methods (GNSS-LEO, LEO-LEO, stellar and solar) to the use of occultation data, with focus on atmospheric physics, meteorology and climate.
