Learn about scales of measurement used in everything from
meteorology to music notation in this comprehensive and informative
reference guide. Measurement is constantly all around us. It forms
the foundations of science - the ohms and amps of physics and the
moles and isotopes of chemistry - and shapes our every day. Our
relationships with measurement start the moment we wake and check
the day's temperature and continue until the precise second we go
to sleep. But beyond the familiar measurements, hundreds more are
listed in this entertaining and revealing reference book. Packed
with unusual and fascinating facts ranging from everyday amounts,
such as how much salt is there in a pinch (1/8 teaspoon), to key
scientific measurements, including the parsec, which is equivalent
to 3.26 light-years, or just over 19.26 trillion miles, How to
Measure Anything's entries are accompanied by diagrams, symbols and
illustrations to help demonstrate these concepts and measurements
in action. The methods used to measure food, photography, finance,
commerce, magnetism, atomic physics are just a fraction of the
areas covered in this essential guide that helps us to better
understand how our world works.
Introduces readers to the concept of opposites through the pairing
of high and low. Simple text, straightforward photos, and a photo
glossary make this title the perfect primer on a common pair of
opposites.
This handbook comprehensively covers the cutting-edge trends and
techniques essential for the integration of nondestructive
evaluation (NDE) into the changing face of the modern industrial
landscape. In particular, it delves into the marriage of NDE with
new techniques in e.g. data mining, cloud computing and autonomous
operation, highlighting the potential for cyber-physical controlled
production and discussing the myriad possible applications across
many different industries. The Handbook of NDE 4.0 centers around
the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 - the next generation of
industrial production encompassing all aspects of networking across
all industrial areas. It discusses the adaptation of existing NDE
techniques to emerging new technological areas, such as 3D
printing, via the introduction of cyber systems into the inspection
and maintenance processes. In addition, the handbook covers topics
such as the management and processing of big data with respect to
real-time monitoring of structural integrity and reliable
inspection of individual components. Remote NDE to include
competence not available on-site will be a potential technique to
increase reliability of NDE inspections by integrating additional
specialist inputs into the decision process by methods such as
telepresence, thereby better leveraging the scarce resources of
senior inspectors into industrial inspections at multiple sites.
The handbook houses a wealth of essential information to help
academics, industry professionals and entrepreneurs navigate
through this burgeoning new field. The material in this handbook is
presented with the intention of ultimately improving human safety
through reliable inspections and dependable maintenance of critical
infrastructure, while also enhancing business value through reduced
downtime, affordable maintenance, and talent optimization.
