TAILIEUCHUNG - Ebook Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection

The second edition of Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection has several important new features. SI units are employed throughout, the older units being de-fined but used sparingly. There are two new chapters. One is on statistics for health physics. It starts with the description of radioactive decay as a Bernoulli process and treats sample counting, propagation of error, limits of detection, type-I and type-II errors, instrument response, and Monte Carlo radiation-transport computations. | James E. Turner Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection 1807–2007 Knowledge for Generations Each generation has its unique needs and aspirations. When Charles Wiley first opened his small printing shop in lower Manhattan in 1807, it was a generation of boundless potential searching for an identity. And we were there, helping to define a new American literary tradition. Over half a century later, in the midst of the Second Industrial Revolution, it was a generation focused on building the future. Once again, we were there, supplying the critical scientific, technical, and engineering knowledge that helped frame the world. Throughout the 20th Century, and into the new millennium, nations began to reach out beyond their own borders and a new international community was born. Wiley was there, expanding its operations around the world to enable a global exchange of ideas, opinions, and know-how. For 200 years, Wiley has been an integral part of each generation’s journey, enabling the flow of information and understanding necessary to meet their needs and fulfill their aspirations. Today, bold new technologies are changing the way we live and learn. Wiley will be there, providing you the must-have knowledge you need to imagine new worlds, new possibilities, and new opportunities. Generations come and go, but you can always count on Wiley to provide you the knowledge you need, when and where you need it! William J.
