This text derives in major parts from presentations given on the theme of insect conservation at the 1992 International Congress of Entomology in Beijing. It presents a wide range of perspectives on the topic, reflecting the geographic regions in which the contributors work and which are predominantly non temperate.

This is a handbook with an innovative approach to the use of statistical methods to improve the quality of analysis. It does this by focusing on the specifics of processing measurement results and, also, by outlining the required procedures for evaluating a given measurement method and assessing the reliability of results. 
The mathematical models provided give sufficient detail to help the non-statistician choose the appropriate method. And with the help of many examples, calculations can be carried out with only a limited knowledge of the theory of statistics. For fuller theoretical explanations, the appendices include more coherent frameworks although these are not essential when using the methods described in the main body of this book. Modelling and Estimation of Measurement Errors will be useful to scientists, engineers, teachers and students beyond the immediate sphere of chemical analysis. It will help with the refining of techniques, thus avoiding the pitfalls that can occur in statistical data processing.

Technology

An explanation of the fundamental principles of high power laser interactions. Beginning with an introduction to the basics of laser technology, it moves on to describe selective photonic action. This advanced process will significantly reduce the energy required for the production of enriched titanium. The book originates from the author's own research which has contributed to advances in this area of physics by the use of high-power laser interactions. It should be useful to engineers, lecturers, graduate and undergraduate students.
