Describes the use of instruments and techniques for practical measurements required in engineering, physics, chemistry and the life sciences.

This book is an up-to-date introduction to the quantum theory of measurement.

One Time Fits All tells the story of the development, integration, and obstacles overcome in setting an the International Date Line, establishing the worldwide system of Standard Time zones, and adopting Daylight Saving Time—including ...

These are examined in this new edition with greater detail. This book is about devices commonly called sensors. The invention of a - croprocessor has brought highly sophisticated instruments into our everyday lives.

Flow Measurement Handbook is a reference for engineers on flow measurement techniques and instruments.

These are old questions, and they are the reason behind this volume. We will explore the origins of the methods of data analysis that are today routinely applied to all measurements, but which were unknown before the mid-19th Century.

The new edition has been completely revised and extended by a chapter on quartz-crystal microbalances. The book is written for chemists, biochemists, environmental and materials scientists, and physicists.

The goal of the book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the properties, applications, and potential applications of traditional and unconventional actuators, together with their corresponding power electronics.

This book discusses how and why historical measurement units developed, and reviews useful methods for making conversions as well as situations in which dimensional analysis can be used.
