Overview: Collects 20 outstanding papers on the topic, mostly published from 1999-2002 in the journal "Accreditation and Quality Assurance".Gives an overview of the state of the art of "measurement uncertainty"It is now becoming recognized in the measurement community that it is as important to communicate the uncertainty related to a specific measurement as it is to report the measurement itself. Without knowing the uncertainty, it is impossible for the users of the result to know what confidence can be placed in it; it is also impossible to assess the comparability of different measurements

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book is a historical-epistemological study of one of the most consequential breakthroughs in the history of celestial mechanics: Robert Hooke‘s (1635-1703) proposal to "compoun[d] the celestial motions of the planets of a direct motion by the tangent & an attractive motion towards a centrat body" (Newton, The Correspondence li, 297. Henceforth: Correspondence). This is the challenge Hooke presented to Isaac Newton (1642-1727) in a short but intense correspondence in the winter of 1679-80, which set Newton on course for his 1687 Principia, transfo

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The notion of an operad supplies both a conceptual and effective device to handle a variety of algebraic structures in various situations. Operads were introduced 40 years ago in algebraic topology in order to model the structure of iterated loop spaces. Since then, operads have been used fruitfully in many fields of mathematics and physics...This monograph begins with a review of the basis of operad theory. The main purpose is to study structures of modules over operads as a new device to model functors between categories of algebras as effectively

Overview: Offers a historical outline with an alternative view at social choice, including a revision of the paradoxes of Condorcet and Arrow.Presents a computational instead of an axiomatic approach, implying .The mathematical theory of democracy deals with selection of representatives who make decisions on behalf of the whole society. In this book, the notion of representativeness is operationalized with the index of popularity (the average percentage of the population whose opinion is represented on a number of issues) and the index of universality (the frequency of cases when the opinion o

Overview: .Microcantilevers for Atomic Force Microscope Data Storage.describes a research collaboration between IBM Almaden and StanfordUniversity in which a new mass data storage technology was evaluated.This technology is based on the use of heated cantilevers to formsubmicron indentations on a polycarbonate surface, and piezoresistivecantilevers to read those indentations. ..Microcantilevers for Atomic Force Microscope Data Storage.describes how silicon micromachined cantilevers can be used forhigh-density topographic data storage on a simple substrate such aspolycarbonate. The cantilevers

Overview: This study provides new insights into the link between masculinity and jealousy through a study of representations of male jealousy in modern Hollywood cinema.
