This Springer Handbook of Metrology and Testing presents the principles of Metrology – the science of measurement – and the methods and techniques of  Testing – determining the characteristics of a given product – as they apply to chemical and microstructural analysis, and to the measurement and testing of materials properties and performance, including modelling and simulation. The principal motivation for this Handbook stems from the increasing demands of technology for measurement results that can be used globally. Measurements within a local laboratory or manufacturing facility must be able to be reproduced accurately anywhere in the world. The Commission of the European Union has expressed this as follows: There is no science without measurements, no quality without testing, and no global markets without standards.  The Handbook is organized in five parts. Part A: Fundamentals of Metrology and Testing. Part B: Chemical and Microstructural Analysis. Part C: Materials Properties Measurement. Part D: Materials Performance Testing. Part E: Modeling and Simulation Methods.  Key Topics Metrology Principles and Organization Methodologies of Measurement and Testing Analytical Chemistry Methods Microstructural and Nanoscopic Analyses Materials Properties Measurement: mechanical, thermal, lectrical, magnetic, optical Materials Performance Testing: Corrosion, friction and wear, biogenic, environmental Nondestructive Testing Reliability Evaluation Modeling and Simulation Methods: molecular dynamics simulation, finite element methods, Monte Carlo simulation                      Features Develops and explains guidelines and standards for Quality of Measurement and Testing Sampling Traceability of Measurement and Testing Statistical Evaluation of Results Accuracy and Uncertainty of Measurement Validation Inter-laboratory Comparisons and Proficiency Testing Reference Materials Reference Procedures Human Aspects in a Laboratory International Standards, Laboratory Accreditation and Global Trade.

Perhaps the most distinct question in science throughout the ages has been the one of perceivable reality, treated both in physics and philosophy. Reality is acting upon us, and we, and life in general, are acting upon reality. Potentiality, found both in quantum reality and in the activity of life, plays a key role.  In quantum reality observation turns potentiality into reality. Again, life computes possibilities in various ways based on past actions, and acts on the basis of these computations.   This book is about a new approach to biology (and physics, of course!). Its subtitle suggests a perpetual movement and interplay between two elusive aspects of modern science — reality/matter and potentiality/mind, between physics and biology — both captured and triggered by mathematics — to understand and explain emergence, development and life all the way up to consciousness.   But what is the real/potential difference between living and non-living matter? How does time in potentiality differ from time in reality? What we need to understand these differences is an integrative approach. This book contemplates how to encircle life to obtain a formal system, equivalent to the ones in physics. Integral Biomathics attempts to explore the interplay between reality and potentiality.
