This monograph considers the evaluation and expression of measurement uncertainty within the mathematical framework of the Theory of Evidence. With a new perspective on the metrology science, the text paves the way for innovative applications in a wide range of areas. Building on Simona Salicone’s Measurement Uncertainty: An Approach via the Mathematical Theory of Evidence, the material covers further developments of the Random Fuzzy Variable (RFV) approach to uncertainty and provides a more robust mathematical and metrological background to the combination of measurement results that leads to a more effective RFV combination method. While the first part of the book introduces measurement ...
The expression of uncertainty in measurement poses a challenge since it involves physical, mathematical, and philosophical issues. This problem is intensified by the limitations of the probabilistic approach used by the current standard (the GUM Instrumentation Standard). This text presents an alternative approach. It makes full use of the mathematical theory of evidence to express the uncertainty in measurements. Coverage provides an overview of the current standard, then pinpoints and constructively resolves its limitations. Numerous examples throughout help explain the book’s unique approach.
In recent years there has been a growing interest to extend classical methods for data analysis. The aim is to allow a more flexible modeling of phenomena such as uncertainty, imprecision or ignorance. Such extensions of classical probability theory and statistics are useful in many real-life situations, since uncertainties in data are not only present in the form of randomness --- various types of incomplete or subjective information have to be handled. About twelve years ago the idea of strengthening the dialogue between the various research communities in the field of data analysis was born and resulted in the International Conference Series on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (...
Measuring systems are an essential part of all automated production systems, they also serve to ensure quality of production or they are used to assure the reliability and safety in various areas. The same applies in principle likewise for fields of telecommunication, energy production and distribution, health care etc. Similarly no serious scientific research in the field of natural and technical sciences can be performed without objective data about the investigated object, which are usually acquired using measuring system. Demands on the speed and accuracy of measurement increase in all areas in general. These are the grounds for publishing this book.The book "Advanced distributed measuri...

Senza carne, pesce, latte, uova, formaggi e miele si vive benissimo. buono, sano, vegano illustra in modo semplice ma rigoroso tutti i vantaggi di questa scelta dal punto di vista della nostra salute, aiutandoci a scegliere cosa mettere in tavola per un'alimentazione a base di cibi buoni e leggeri e, soprattutto, completa dal punto di vista nutrizionale. Alimentarsi secondo una dieta vegana o anche solo limitare il consumo di carne o derivati è quindi una questione di salute (la nostra!), ma è anche una scelta altruista perché influenza il futuro degli animali, dell'ambiente e di tutto il pianeta. Un capitolo è dedicato a chi si trova in situazioni particolari e intende curarsi anche con il cibo (diabete, ipertensione, tumori, artrite, malattie autoimmuni). In tutti questi casi e in molti altri la scelta vegana rappresenta un valido supporto a tutte le terapie convenzionali (farmaci, chemioterapia, radioterapia). Il libro include 70 ricette approvate dall'autrice dal punto di vista nutrizionale, consigliate e selezionate da chi ha scelto di vivere "vegan".

This reprint focuses on a very important topic in metrology, which is represent by measurement uncertainty. Any good metrologist or scientist in engineering knows that no measurement makes sense without an associated uncertainty value: without an uncertainty value, no decision can be taken; no comparisons can be made; no conformity can be assessed. Any decision, comparison or conformity assessment made without considering the measurement uncertainty affecting the measurement value is completely useless and meaningless. Stated that, it becomes very clear that uncertainty in measurement plays indeed a very important rule in our everyday life. This is the reason why there is a great need to hav...
