New focused book series

The first two titles in our “Focus on” series of short books have been published. These will all be available in print and a variety of electronic formats, including EPUB, PDF and Kindle. The aim is to provide a focused look at a particular topic. The first two books (Design of Experiments and Near Infrared Spectroscopy on Agricultural Harvesters) are collections of articles that appeared in past NIR news issues that have been edited to produce a uniform book. There will be further collections coming out, as well as brand new, unpublished material. Perhaps you would be interested in writing a focused book yourself? If so, please get in touch with your idea.

Design of Experiments

“If you’re going to experiment, then it is always worth doing it properly” writes Tom Fearn in this Focus on Design of Experiments. The book introduces the idea of Design of Experiments (DoE) and why it important, before going on to discuss:

Experiment

2^k factorial designs
Fractional factorial designs
Response surface designs
Evolutionary operation (EVOP)

Focus on Design of Experiments is available in print, EPUB, PDF and Amazon’s Kindle formats. Buy a copy now from our secure online shop:

Near Infrared Spectroscopy on Agricultural Harvesters

Near Infrared Spectroscopy on Agricultural Harvesters Over the past few years, there has been increasing emphasis on the deployment of NIR analysers onto harvesting machinery to give real-time, point-of-cropping data on biological material composition and quality. This book provides an overview of the topic.
