The first edition of this book was a first book for atomic spectroscopists to present the basic principles of experimental designs, optimization and multivariate regression. Multivariate regression is a valuable statistical method for handling complex problems (such as spectral and chemical interferences) which arise during atomic spectrometry. However, the technique is underused as most spectroscopists do not have time to study the often complex literature on the subject. This practical introduction uses conceptual explanations and worked examples to give readers a clear understanding of the technique. Mathematics is kept to a minimum but, when required, is kept at a basic level. Practical considerations, interpretations and troubleshooting are emphasized and literature surveys are included to guide the reader to further work. The same dataset is used for all chapters dealing with calibration to demonstrate the differences between the different methodologies. Readers will learn how to handle spectral and chemical interferences in atomic spectrometry in a new, more efficient and cost-effective way.

German and Austrian-German Historical Thought in the Modern Era

- 13 heures de lecture
The study explores the normative narrative structures developed by Germany and Austria, which shaped the historical perspectives within their cultures. It highlights the strengths and weaknesses of these narratives and suggests methods for expanding their interpretations. Through this examination, the author aims to provide insights into how these frameworks influenced historical formulation and understanding in both countries.
Focusing on the concept of temporality, the book explores how human judgment is shaped by individual experiences of time, influencing the perception of historical events. It emphasizes that history is not merely external but intertwined with personal awareness and thought. By employing the phenomenological method, the text delves into the intentionality behind attention and judgment, making it a valuable resource for contemporary historians and students. It provides insights into both the historical development of phenomenology and its application in modern historiography.

Continuity, quantum, continuum, and dialectic are foundational logics of Western historical thought. The historiographical method to discern them is a critique of historical reason. Through 'stylistics' Mark E. Blum demonstrates how the inner temporal experience of the person shapes both judgment and historical action. Blum's work augments the epistemology of Immanuel Kant, Wilhelm Dilthey, and Edmund Husserl. Studies of significant persons from Shakespeare through the Framers of the American Constitution, as well as contemporary adolescents, illustrate the intergenerational presence of these historical logics. Courses in historical method, phenomenological philosophy, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and literary theory can benefit from Blum's findings and approach.
