A revised and updated edition of a textbook which contains techniques and examples for a variety of fields using experimental design. It discusses methods for increasing the accuracy of experiments, and analyses of the results of a series of experiments.

Consists of invited papers, from internationally recognized researchers, chosen for their quality as well as their overall unity. Describes current methods along with innovative research and presents new technologies for solving problems unique to establishment surveys. Stages of the survey process are addressed in the first five parts with cross-cutting topics in the last section.

An examination of the concepts of systems reliability and the techniques available for determining both technical and human hazard and risk. Emphasis is placed on technical systems and human factors and the incresing importance of psychological factors in the overall assessment of safety.

The second four volumes of this eight-volume set provide comprehensive coverage of the factors that determined the evolution of world system in the twentieth century. With over 80 thematically organized articles selection by Michael Cox, Volumes 5-8 explore what happened following the collapse of the bipolar order in 1989 and the implications of this transition for the conduct of international relations. Together the volumes combine to provide an unparalleled resource providing broad coverage of the subject with historical depth and contemporary relevance.

Based on the institute of the Family Research Consortium, this volume presents theory and research from scholars working on issues of risks and resilience in families. Focusing on the splits and bonds that shape children's development, the authors attempt to stimulate theoretical and empirical advances in research on family processes. It is aimed at developmental, social, and clinical psychologists, and sociologists.

The contents of this volume are based upon presentations made to the Second European Symposium on Radiopharmacy and Radiopharmaceuticals which was held in St. Catharine's College Cambridge in March 1985. This meeting was organized by the Radiopharmacy Group of the British Nuclear Medicine Society under the auspices of the European Joint Committee on Radio pharmaceuticals of the ENMS / SNME. The Joint Committee acknowledges the special effort which was made by the local organizers to prepare this meeting the quality of which is undoubtedly reflected in the proceedings. The wide ranging aspects...

This volume contains the proceedings of the 1986 annual meeting and conference of the Society for Risk Analysis. It provides a detailed view of both mature disciplines and emerging areas within the fields of health, safety, and environmental risk analysis as they existed in 1986. In selecting and organizing topics for this conference, we sought both (i) to identify and include new ideas and application areas that would be of lasting interest to risk analysts and to users of risk analysis results, and (ii) to include innovative methods and applications in established areas of risk analysis. In...

A comprehensive overview of multivariate data and analysis

Providing an introduction to the subject of multivariate data analysis without delving deeply into underlying theory and concepts, An Introduction to Multivariate Data is an excellent resource for undergraduate statistics courses as well as for professionals who require an understanding of statistical techniques for analyzing their own data sets. Focused on real-world application, the book includes sample exercises in each chapter to firmly cement the concepts covered. Exercises range from simple problems that...

In the past nuclear medicine has tended to develop in cycles governed by the development of new radiopharmaceuticals followed or preceded by advances in instrumentation. The development of alternative techniques, such as X-Ray Computer Tomography, NMR Imaging and Ultrasound have also had a stimulating effect and pointed the way to new developments. The development of Positron Emission Tomography, while in itself of limited application because of high costs involved, provided a great deal of information which led to the development of new organ or disease specific, single photon emitting...
