Quality Assured Measurement (eBook, PDF)

Unification across Social and Physical Sciences

Beschreibung

Provides a unified view of measurement for quality assurance of essentially any product, process or service

Presents step-by-step guidance from specification, through measurement to decisions on conformity

Illustrates each step in quality-assurance cycles with examples and case studies

Presents a common metrological framework covering 'grand challenge' areas such as where cosmological and microscopic dimensions meet, and where human cognitive ability correlates with the structure and functioning of the brain

Includes pragmatic extensions of significance testing, including optimised uncertainties

Autor

Professor Leslie R. Pendrill has for much of his career since the mid 1980's been head of research at the National Metrology Institute of RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. For decades, his research has focused on fundamental metrology, in particular optoelectronic, laser, length and mass measurement. More recently, he has developed new quality-assured measurement methods in which Man is the main actor, weighing the effects of measurement against the effects of product evaluations, including optimised measurement, uncertainty studies and the measurement of perception. Professor Pendrill has been actively involved in several international metrology activities including being Chair of the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET); the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics' Commission on Symbols, Units, Nomenclature, Atomic Masses and Fundamental Constants; and the ISO/TC12 Quantities and units standards committee. He earnedhis PhD in Atomic Physics at the University of Reading, England and moved to Sweden after postdoctoral positions in Paris at the École normale supérieure, JILA Research Institute in Boulder CO, and Oxford University.
