The Huge and Advanced Engineering as Trans-science
Kohji Hirata
Journal of Science and Technology Studies (11) 31-49 Mar 2015 [Refereed][Invited]
The concept of trans-science by A. Weinberg is reexamined in connection with a huge and advanced
science project, KEK B factory. Classification of the trans-science is introduced which implies the similarity with the uncertainty matrix approach of...
