The authors present the Measurement Information Model and the Measurement Process Model, as well as guidelines based on their experience in order to apply these models to specific projects.

This book provides an excellent foundation for the principles of database and data management. It explains some of the more difficult concepts fairly well. The book is meant for an introductory course in database management which is usually required as…

Designed for a one-year course on DSP, the book Digital Signal Processing, A Computer Based Approach aims to give seniors or first-year graduate students strong foundations of the analysis and design of discrete-time systems for digital signal processing. Anyway, is…

The electrochemical oxidation of para-, meta- and ortho-aminophenols was carried out using a platinum electrode in aqueous acid medium. The spectroscopic results indicate that p-aminophenol suffers hydrolysis giving the formation of hydroquinone/p-benzoquinone.
CO2 has been detected by in situ FTIR…

This thesis presents an in-depth study of statistical mechanical systems having microcanonical equilibrium properties, i.e., energy-dependent equilibrium properties, which cannot be put in correspondence with their canonical or temperature-dependent equilibrium properties. A general theory of these systems which focuses both…

This inquiry is a phenomenological exploration of the development of two student teachers undergoing their practicum experience in my secondary classroom. It examines the changes in identity that the student teachers underwent and how those changes came about. The goals…

This qualitative study researched the meaning of instruction in a cycle one classroom. The following questions guided my research: How is literacy instruction implemented in a cycle one classroom? (a) What events take place in the class? (b) How does…

The opus of Joseph Joubert (1754--1824) was for a long period barely known, due to the fact that it languished unpublished, both during his lifetime and after his death, until the complete version of his Notebooks was brought out in…

Technical teaching often requires the use of expensive laboratory materials which are frequently beyond the reach of many students. Students are also required to go to laboratories, which offer the appropriate facilities, according to a strict timetable. For these reasons,…

An algorithm is presented that is based on a representation
method for products, which lets us show, intuitively, the hierarchical
relationships among components and/or assemblies of
the product. This paper presents an algorithm for establishing
a partial non-destructive disassembly sequence…
