REFLECTIONS ON A CENTURY OF MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AS AN ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE-A TRIBUTE TO PROF. DR. ENG. ANDRZEJ JELLONEK (1907-1998)
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2007, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper reflects on the development of measurement science as a discipline over the last hundred years, viewing the field through the work of Professor Andrzej Jellonek, a notable Polish scientist and educator. It considers present challenges to the discipline. The paper also pays a personal tribute to Professor Jellonek.

SEVERAL APPROACHES TO ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION APPROXIMATION AND THEIR APPLICATION FOR ADC NON-LINEARITY CORRECTION
The performance of current electronic devices is mostly limited by analog front-end and analog-to-digital converter's (ADC) actual parameters. One of the most important parameters is ADC nonlinearity. The correction of t...

REVISING THE SI: THE JOULE TO REPLACE THE KELVIN AS A BASE UNIT
The joule is proposed to replace the kelvin in the set of SI base units. Arguments in favour of such replacement are presented, including improved standard accuracy and unit system coherence. The joule is also proposed t...
