Basic Principles of Analytical Ultracentrifugation

Basic Principles of Analytical Ultracentrifugation

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) can supply rich information on the mass shape size distribution solvation and composition of macromolecules and nanoscopic particles. It also provides a detailed view of their reversible single- or multi-component interactions over a wide range of affinities. Yet this powerful technique has been hard to master in mainstream molecular sciences due to a lack of comprehensive books on the subject. Filling this gap in the literature of biophysical methodology Basic Principles of Analytical Ultracentrifugation explains the fundamentals in the theory and practice of AUC. The book provides you with up-to-date experimental information to confidently practice AUC. You will understand the basic concepts full potential and possible pitfalls of AUC as well as appreciate the current relevance of past work in the field. The book first introduces the basic principles and technical setup of an AUC experiment and briefly describes the optical systems used for detection. It then explores the ultracentrifugation experiment from a macromolecular standpoint offering a detailed physical picture of the sedimentation process and relevant macromolecular parameters. The authors present important practical aspects for conducting an experiment including sample preparation data acquisition and data structure and the execution of the centrifugal experiment. They also cover instrument calibration and quality control experiments.

Statistical Studies of Income Poverty and Inequality in Europe Computing and Graphics in R using EU-SILC

Statistical Studies of Income Poverty and Inequality in Europe Computing and Graphics in R using EU-SILC

There is no shortage of incentives to study and reduce poverty in our societies. Poverty is studied in economics and political sciences and population surveys are an important source of information about it. The design and analysis of such surveys is principally a statistical subject matter and the computer is essential for their data compilation and processing. Focusing on The European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) a program of annual national surveys which collect data related to poverty and social exclusion Statistical Studies of Income Poverty and Inequality in Europe: Computing and Graphics in R presents a set of statistical analyses pertinent to the general goals of EU-SILC. The contents of the volume are biased toward computing and statistics with reduced attention to economics political and other social sciences. The emphasis is on methods and procedures as opposed to results because the data from annual surveys made available since publication and in the near future will degrade the novelty of the data used and the results derived in this volume. The aim of this volume is not to propose specific methods of analysis but to open up the analytical agenda and address the aspects of the key definitions in the subject of poverty assessment that entail nontrivial elements of arbitrariness. The presented methods do not exhaust the range of analyses suitable for EU-SILC but will stimulate the search for new methods and adaptation of established methods that cater to the identified purposes. | Statistical Studies of Income Poverty and Inequality in Europe Computing and Graphics in R using EU-SILC

Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

Sensors are all around us. They are in phones cars planes trains robots mils lathes packaging lines chemical plants power plants etc. Modern technology could not exist without sensors. The sensors measure what we need to know and the control system then performs the desired actions. When an engineer builds any machine he or she needs to have basic understanding about sensors. Correct sensors need to be selected for the design right from the start. The designer needs to think about the ranges required accuracy sensor cost wiring correct installation and placement etc. Without the basic knowledge of sensors fundamental no machine can be built successfully today. The objective of this book is to provide the basic knowledge to electrical and mechanical engineers engineering students and hobbyist from the field of sensors to help them with the selection of “proper” sensors for their designs. No background knowledge in electrical engineering is required all the necessary basics are provided. The book explains how a sensor works in what ranges it can be used with what accuracy etc. It also provides examples of industrial application for selected sensors. The book covers all the major variables in mechanical engineering such as temperature force torque pressure humidity position speed acceleration etc. The approach is always as follows: - Explain how the sensor works what is the principle - Explain in what ranges and with what accuracy it can work - Describe its properties with charts eventually equations - Give examples of such sensors including application examples | Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical statistics typically represents one of the most difficult challenges in statistics particularly for those with more applied rather than mathematical interests and backgrounds. Most textbooks on the subject provide little or no review of the advanced calculus topics upon which much of mathematical statistics relies and furthermore contain material that is wholly theoretical thus presenting even greater challenges to those interested in applying advanced statistics to a specific area. Mathematical Statistics with Applications presents the background concepts and builds the technical sophistication needed to move on to more advanced studies in multivariate analysis decision theory stochastic processes or computational statistics. Applications embedded within theoretical discussions clearly demonstrate the utility of the theory in a useful and relevant field of application and allow readers to avoid sudden exposure to purely theoretical materials. With its clear explanations and more than usual emphasis on applications and computation this text reaches out to the many students and professionals more interested in the practical use of statistics to enrich their work in areas such as communications computer science economics astronomy and public health.
