Book Description

This book provides a theoretical background to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and a practical guide to the analysis of the XPS spectra using the RxpsG software, a powerful tool for XPS analysis. Although there are several publications and books illustrating the theory behind XPS and the origin of the spectral feature, this book provides an additional practical introduction to the use of RxpsG. It illustrates how to use the RxpsG software to perform specific key operations, with figures and examples which readers can reproduce themselves. The book contains a list of theoretical sections explaining the appearance of the various spectral features (core‐lines, Auger components, valence bands, loss features, etc.). They are accompanied by practical steps, so readers can learn how to analyze specific spectral features using the various functions of the RxpsG software. This book is a useful guide for researchers in physics, chemistry, and material science who are looking to begin using XPS, in addition to experienced researchers who want to learn how to use RxpsG. In the digital format, the spectral data and step-by-step indications are provided to reproduce the examples given in the textbook. RxpsG is a free software for the spectral analysis. Readers can find the installation information and download the package from https://github.com/GSperanza/ website. RxpsG was developed mainly by Giorgio Speranza with the help of his colleague dr. Roberto Canteri working at Fondazione Bruno Kessler. Key Features: Simplifies the use of RxpsG, how it works, and its applications. Demonstrates RxpsG using a reproduction of the graphical interface of RxpsG, showing the steps needed to perform a specific task and the effect on the XPS spectra. Accessible to readers without any prior experience using the RxpsG software. Giorgio Speranza is Senior Researcher at Fondazione Bruno Kessler – Trento Italy, Associate Member of the Italian National Council of Research, and Associate Member of the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Trento, Italy.

Book Description

Mathematics plays an important role in many scientific and engineering disciplines. This book deals with the numerical solution of differential equations, a very important branch of mathematics. Our aim is to give a practical and theoretical account of how to solve a large variety of differential equations, comprising ordinary differential equations, initial value problems and boundary value problems, differential algebraic equations, partial differential equations and delay differential equations. The solution of differential equations using R is the main focus of this book. It is therefore intended for the practitioner, the student and the scientist, who wants to know how to use R for solving differential equations. However, it has been our goal that non-mathematicians should at least understand the basics of the methods, while obtaining entrance into the relevant literature that provides more mathematical background. Therefore, each chapter that deals with R examples is preceded by a chapter where the theory behind the numerical methods being used is introduced. In the sections that deal with the use of R for solving differential equations, we have taken examples from a variety of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, pharmacokinetics. Many examples are well-known test examples, used frequently in the field of numerical analysis.

Book Description

One of the pathways by which the scientific community confirms the validity of a new scientific discovery is by repeating the research that produced it. When a scientific effort fails to independently confirm the computations or results of a previous study, some fear that it may be a symptom of a lack of rigor in science, while others argue that such an observed inconsistency can be an important precursor to new discovery. Concerns about reproducibility and replicability have been expressed in both scientific and popular media. As these concerns came to light, Congress requested that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conduct a study to assess the extent of issues related to reproducibility and replicability and to offer recommendations for improving rigor and transparency in scientific research. Reproducibility and Replicability in Science defines reproducibility and replicability and examines the factors that may lead to non-reproducibility and non-replicability in research. Unlike the typical expectation of reproducibility between two computations, expectations about replicability are more nuanced, and in some cases a lack of replicability can aid the process of scientific discovery. This report provides recommendations to researchers, academic institutions, journals, and funders on steps they can take to improve reproducibility and replicability in science.
