Statistics: Concepts and Controversies
2019 || Paperback || David S. Moore e.a. || Macmillan
Statistics for the liberal arts students.
Statistics: Concepts and Controversies is a book on statistical ideas and statistical reasoning and on their relevance to public policy and to the human sciences from medicine to sociology. Many fundamental graphical and numerical techniques are included in the text to give flesh to the ideas and muscle to the reasoning. Students learn to think about data by working with data, however technique does not dominate concepts. This author’s intention her...
Third Millennium Thinking
Creating Sense in a World of Nonsense
2024 || Paperback || Saul Perlmutter e.a. || Hodder & Stoughton
A Nobel prize-winning physicist, a social psychologist and a philosopher on how science can help us navigate information overload, thrive amidst uncertainty and heal our fractured society.
A definitive guide to thinking clearly in a world full of overwhelming information.
__________
In our deluge of information, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the revelatory from the contradictory. How do we make health decisions in the face of conflicting medical advice? How can we navigate the...
Organic Spectroscopic Analysis
2004 || Paperback || Rosaleen J Anderson e.a. || Royal Society of Chemistry
This introduction to organic spectroscopic analysis aims to provide the reader with a basic understanding of how nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS) give rise to spectra, and how these spectra can be used to determine the structure of organic molecules. The text aims to lead the reader to an appreciation of the information available from each form of spectroscopy and an ability to use spectroscopic informati...

International facades - croft
climate related optmized facade constructions
2018 || Paperback || Marcel Bilow || TU Delft Open
Looking at Central European building projects illustrates an awareness of sustainability and the need to save energy. This trend is based on the finiteness of natural resources, and is thus wise to follow. Developments in this region including passive house technologies, and energy plus solutions that create more energy than they use have become realisable. But it is not increasing technological knowledge alone that supported these developments; the Central European climate makes it possible ...

Designing the urban microclimate
a framework for a design-decision support tool for the dissemination of knowledge on the urban microclimate to the urban design process
2019 || Paperback || Marjolein Pijpers-van Esch || TU Delft Open
This doctoral thesis presents research on the integration and transfer of knowledge from the specialized field of urban microclimatology into the generic field of urban design. Both fields are studied in order to identify crosslinks and reveal gaps. The main research question of the research is: How can the design of urban neighbourhoods contribute to microclimates that support physical well-being and what kind of information and form of presentation does the urban designer need in order to m...

Urban form and greenhouse gas emissions
findings, strategies, and design decision support technologies
2019 || Paperback || Michael West Mehaffy || TU Delft Open
The research reported in this dissertation contains three complementary and overlapping parts:
One, “findings”: It assesses the factors of urban morphology that contribute to increased rates of greenhouse gas emissions per capita, and the ways they interact. It finds a significant but underrepresented set of factors, distinct from but relating the factors at the individual building scale and the scale of regional transportation systems.
Two, “strategies”: It assesses the methodologies...
Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds / 8th edition
2014 || Paperback || Robert M. Silverstein e.a. || Wiley
First published over 40 years ago, this was the first text on the identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. This text is now considered to be a classic. This text presents a unified approach to the structure determination of organic compounds based largely on mass spectrometry, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and multinuclear and multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
The key strength of this text is the extensive set of practice and real-data problems (in C...
Measurement in Medicine
A Practical Guide
2011 || Paperback || Henrica C. W. de Vet e.a. || Cambridge University Press
The success of the Apgar score demonstrates the astounding power of an appropriate clinical instrument. This down-to-earth book provides practical advice, underpinned by theoretical principles, on developing and evaluating measurement instruments in all fields of medicine. It equips you to choose the most appropriate instrument for specific purposes.
The book covers measurement theories, methods and criteria for evaluating and selecting instruments. It provides methods to assess measurement p...
A Student's Guide to Vectors and Tensors
2011 || Paperback || Daniel A. Fleisch || Cambridge University Press
Adopting the same approach used in his highly popular A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations, Fleisch explains vectors and tensors in plain language to give undergraduate and beginning graduate students a better understanding of how to use vectors and tensors to solve problems in physics and engineering.
An Introduction to Uncertainty in Measurement
Using the GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement)
2006 || Paperback || L. Kirkup e.a. || Cambridge University Press
Measurement shapes scientific theories, characterises improvements in manufacturing processes and promotes efficient commerce. In concert with measurement is uncertainty, and students in science and engineering need to identify and quantify uncertainties in the measurements they make. This book introduces measurement and uncertainty to second and third year students of science and engineering.
Its approach relies on the internationally recognised and recommended guidelines for calculating and...
