Advanced Characterization and Testing of Textiles explores developments in physical and chemical testing, and specific tests for high-performance textiles. Textiles are tested in order to gauge product quality, assess performance and ensure regulatory compliance. The increasing variety of end uses and performance requirements associated with textiles has resulted in the evolution of advanced testing processes.
Discrimination Testing in Sensory Science: A Practical Handbook is a one-stop-shop for practical advice and guidance on the performance and analysis of discrimination testing in sensory science. The book covers all aspects of difference testing: the history and origin of different methods, the practicalities of setting up a difference test, replications, the statistics behind each test, dealing with the analysis, action standards, and the statistical analysis of results with R
Effects of Climate Change on Forests: An Evidence-Based Primer for Sustainable Management of Temperate and Mediterranean Forests presents concepts, case studies and the application of theories about forest management under climate change. It provides invaluable insight to how forest planning and management tie into the ecological functioning and resilience of the forest, and does so by utilizing a concept weakly implemented in traditional forest planning: namely, by following the variab
