4. |  Measurement Uncertainty and Probability By: Robin Willink Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 31-JAN-2013 Insert Date: 04-JUN-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Measurement Uncertainty and Probability
A measurement result is incomplete without a statement of its 'uncertainty' or 'margin of error'. But what does this statement actually tell us? By examining the practical meaning of probability, this book discusses what is meant by a '95 percent interval of measurement uncertainty', and how such an interval can be calculated. The book argues that the concept of an unknown 'target value' is essential if probability is to be used as a tool for evaluating measurement uncertainty. It uses statistical concepts, such as a conditional confidence interval, to present 'extended' classical methods...

7. |  A Double Hall Algebra Approach to Affine Quantum Schur-Weyl Theory By: Bangming Deng; Jie Du; Qiang Fu Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 31-DEC-2012 Insert Date: 04-JUN-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: A Double Hall Algebra Approach to Affine Quantum Schur-Weyl Theory
The theory of Schur–Weyl duality has had a profound influence over many areas of algebra and combinatorics. This text is original in two respects: it discusses affine q-Schur algebras and presents an algebraic, as opposed to geometric, approach to affine quantum Schur–Weyl theory. To begin, various algebraic structures are discussed, including double Ringel–Hall algebras of cyclic quivers and their quantum loop algebra interpretation. The rest of the book investigates the affine quantum Schur–Weyl duality on three levels. This includes the affine quantum Schur–Weyl reciprocity, the...
