This volume contains original, refereed worldwide contributions. They were prompted by presentations made at the ninth AMCTM Conference held in Goteborg (Sweden) in June 2011 on the theme of advanced mathematical and computational tools in metrology and also, in the title of this book series, in testing. The themes in this volume reflect the importance of the mathematical, statistical and numerical tools and techniques in metrology and testing and, also in keeping the challenge promoted by the Metre Convention, to access a mutual recognition for the measurement standards.
If a business expects to be a player in their market segment, their product(s) must have the quality expected by their customers. This can only be accomplished with test equipment that produces repeatable, accurate, and traceable measurements and/or outputs. Without a quality calibration system in place, this cannot and will not happen. This book is about how to design, implement, maintain, and continuously improve a quality calibration system, with all the required documentation, traceability, and known uncertainty for each and every item of test equipment owned and used by any company, large or small. It will benefit companies that want to implement a program and also those that already ha...
This book provide a comprehensive set of modeling methods for data and uncertainty analysis, taking readers beyond mainstream methods and focusing on techniques with a broad range of real-world applications. The book will be useful as a textbook for graduate students, or as a training manual in the fields of calibration and testing. The work may also serve as a reference for metrologists, mathematicians, statisticians, software engineers, chemists, and other practitioners with a general interest in measurement science.
Dieses Handbuch ermöglicht dem Sensoranwender schnellen Zugriff auf komprimiertes, fundiertes und aktuelles Fachwissen. Daher stellt es für die moderne Messtechnik eine zentrale Informationsquelle dar. Die Strukturierung des Werks richtet sich nach den Bedürfnissen des Benutzers und folgt der zu messenden Größe. Erst danach wird weiter in die verschiedenen Sensortypen gegliedert. Die 2. Auflage liegt nun in gründlich überarbeiteter und aktualisierter Form vor. Neu aufgenommen wurden Kapitel über Messunsicherheit bei Sensoren, Zuverlässigkeit von Sensoren, Informationsfusion für multisensorielle Systeme, Umfeldwahrnehmung, funkauslesbare Sensoren und Detektoren in der Brand-Meldetechnik.
In the German Democratic Republic words and ideas mattered, both for legitimizing and criticizing the regime. No wonder, then, that the ruling SED party created a Writers Union to mold what writers publicly wrote and said. Its chief task was ideological: creating a socialist and antifascist culture. But it was also supposed to advance its members' professional interests and enable them to act as public intellectuals with a say in the direction of socialism. Many writers demanded that it pursue this second function as well, which brought it into conflict with the SED. This book explores how the union became a site for the contestation of writers' roles in GDR society with consequences well be...
