INSTRUMENTATION, MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL IN BIOSYSTEMS (ERT 350/3)

The third edition of the book on Industrial Instrumentation and Control is thoroughly revised and reorganized to address the changed curriculum and present needs of students and practicing engineers in the field of instrumentation and control. It now offers a comprehensive coverage of instrumentation and its practical implementation with an excellent balance of theoretical concepts and engineering practice.

Doebelin's MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS: APPLICATION & DESIGN 5/e provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of measurement, instrumentation and experimentation for engineering students. The book is also an invaluable resource for engineering professionals. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS retains its original organization, with coverage of general concepts (Part I), measuring devices (Part II), and the manipulation, transmission and recording of data (Part III). The 5/e is updated throughout; it features expanded coverage of sensors, and the use of computer tools in measurement & data acquisition. Measurement techniques related to micro- and nano-technologies are also discussed, reflecting the growing importance of these technologies,The newest computer methods are covered, and Doebelin has added a significant commercial software connection for users of the book.

Soil Science and Management, fifth edition emphasizes the human interaction with and effect on soils, rather than treating the soil as an independent element. Non-technical and easy-to-understand, Soil Science and Management, fifth edition teaches the essentials of soils from the perspective of farmers, horticulturalists, environmentalists and other who are concerned about how soils work and how they are used more effectively. An emphasis on management and the sustainable use of soil and water resources makes it especially relevant to these audiences. The inclusion of nutrient management, best practices and relevant legal issues and government programs make this text a practical application for readers. Four-color illustrations have been added through-out the text, making it a much more visually appealing book.

Figliola and Beasley's Fourth Edition provides a timely and in-depth reference to the theory of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation. The authors show you how to develop, operate, and analyze measurement systems and report results. The text covers uncertainty analysis and mechanical measurements in one unified presentation, introducing you to the most powerful experimental tools available
