Another implicit advantage to use of spreadsheets, besides thek ubiquity and ease of use, is the fact that so many engineers and scientists already are familiar with them. Thek use then obviates the need to learn another programming language. 

W. J. Diamond, Practica/ Experimenta/ Designs for Engineers and Scientists, 2nd ed.. Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1989. "This book is for engineers and scientists with Httie or no statistical background who want to learn to design efficient experiments and to analyze data correctiy. .. The emphasis is on practical methods, rather than on statistical theory." The discussion is quite detailed in some areas, eg, experimental designs based on Hadamard matrices, and scanty in others.

The piezoelectric phenomena have been used to generate ultrasonic waves up to microwave frequencies using thin polyfvinylidene fluoride) transducers. In the audio range a new type of loudspeaker has been introduced using the transverse piezolectric effect on a mechanically biased membrane. This development has been of considerable interest to telephone engineers and scientists. 

To date, there have been more than 1500 attendees and more than 500 technical papers or presentations delivered at these conferences. A critical mass of researchers, engineers, and scientists developed through the INVEN1 program in Finland, which started in 1991. These activities have expanded to include scientists, engineers, and practitioners from some 18 countries as part of the COST Action Program. 

The Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers owes a great deal of thanks to the dedicated and professional engineers and scientists who served with distinction on the Vapor Cloud Explosion subcommittee during the development of this Guidelines book. They are ...

Recently, a new approach called artificial neural networks (ANNs) is assisting engineers and scientists in their assessment of fuzzy information, Polymer scientists often face a situation where the rules governing the particular system are unknown or difficult to use. It also frequently becomes an arduous task to develop functional forms/empirical equations to describe a phenomena. Most of these complexities can be overcome with an ANN approach because of its ability to build an internal model based solely on the exposure in a training environment. Fault tolerance of ANNs has been found to be very advantageous in physical property predictions of polymers. This chapter presents a few such cases where the authors have successfully implemented an ANN-based approach for purpose of empirical modeling. These are not exhaustive by any means. 

In mathematics, Laplace s name is most often associated with the Laplace transform, a technique for solving differential equations. Laplace transforms are an often-used mathematical tool of engineers and scientists. In probability theory he invented many techniques for calculating the probabilities of events, and he applied them not only to the usual problems of games but also to problems of civic interest such as population statistics, mortality, and annuities, as well as testimony and verdicts.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) molten salts database has been designed to provide engineers and scientists with rapid access to critically evaluated data for inorganic salts in the molten state. Properties include density, viscosity, electrical conductance, and surface tension. Properties for approximately 320 single salts and 4000 multicomponent systems are included, the latter being primarily binary. Data have been abstracted from the literature over the period 1890-1990. The primary data sources are the National Bureau of Standards-National...

The utility and value of the ability to solution deposit inorganic materials must be promoted and discussed in a variety of forums, both technical and nontechnical. In general, the technical forums are required to share observations during experimentation as well as product development. Forums such as workshops, symposia, ad hoc consortia, and study groups are necessary to provide an environment for engineers and scientists to disclose and discuss problems and solutions. The nontechnical forums are important to excite the mass...
