Book Description

Remote Sensing by Fourier Transform Spectrometry Reinhard Beer Here is a complete introduction to the specification, design, and implementation of Fourier Transform Spectrometers especially intended for atmospheric or astronomical remote sensing. Dr. Beer, one of the pioneers in this field, provides both specific and general information on the development of requirements for remote sensing Fourier transform infrared spectrometers and discusses many of the problems and pitfalls (along with their avoidance and solutions) that can beset the new user. 1992 (0 471-55346-8) 176 pp. Principles and Practice of Spectroscopic Calibration Howard Mark Clearly linking theory with applications, this unique guide to spectroscopic calibration advances an approach that is understandable, free of the usual uncertainties, and simple to execute. The book details the practical aspects of generating a calibration equation, as well as the basics of recognizing and dealing with different types of problems affecting calibration. Most of the procedures are applicable to such sophisticated and popular approaches as Principal Component Calibration, Partial Least Squares Calibration, and Fourier Transform Calibration. 1991 (0 471-54614-3) 192 pp. Activation Spectrometry in Chemical Analysis Susan J. Parry Knowing the specifics of activation analysis has become essential for a wide range of specialists, including chemists, physicists, and biologists, who need to know how to make the most effective use of this technique. In clear, easy-to-read language, this book provides a straightforward review of just what activation analysis can do, describing the technique as it is currently applied to analytical problems. With emphasis on activation spectrometry, Dr. Parry outlines the specifics of the procedure, which, along with other activation analysis methods, have proven critical to the technique’s success. 1991 (0 471-63844-7) 264 pp.
