Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 19: Experimental Methods, Part A covers the methods of materials experimentation and testing. The book discusses the measurement of residual stresses by x-ray diffraction techniques; the investigation of composition variations by diffraction; and the use of Mössbauer spectroscopy in materials science. The text also describes photoluminescence techniques for studies of composition and defects in semiconductors; and materials production by high-rate sputter deposition. Graduate students in the field of materials science, laboratory scientists, and materials engineers will find the book invaluable.
In summary, this book: Fills a gap in the current literature by successfully combining the subjects of survey methodology and experimental methodology in an effort to maximize both internal validity and external validity Offers a wide range ...
We know from Pareto's correspondence that it was his express goal to make economics an independent discipline ... Edgeworth's research program could only have been feasible if it had been possible to examine the nature of utility.

A method for organizing and conducting scientific experiments is described in this volume which enables experimenters to reduce the number of trials run, while retaining all the parameters that may influence the result.
An overview of experimental methods providing practical advice to students seeking guidance with their experimental work.
In a temperature scanning experiment, where both temperature and concentrations vary in each run, ... The TS method may even benefit from new temperature measuring methods based on optical observation of the solid surface.
This is an ideal tool for biomedical engineers or biomechanics professors in their teaching, as well as for those studying and carrying out lab assignments and projects in the field.
This text focuses on the experimental methods and the associated terminology encountered in the research literature of psychology.
