Dear colleagues,

I am facing a problem of correlating laser scattering (DLS) and X-ray 
diffraction data.
For correct comparison, I need either to calculate some model distribution from 
X-ray data (this is feasible assuming lognormal distribution - there are ready 
software solutions for that) or typical "X-ray sizes" (Dv and/or Da) from given 
distributions.
The inverse task (calculating Dv and/or Da from given distributions) appears to 
be very simple, but it seems there is no ready software solution, and I need to 
manually integrate the data. But before doing  that I would like just to be 
sure that I use correct formulae.
I read the paper dealing with that in great detail (JAC, 35, 338 by Popa & 
Balzar, Ref. 1), but it is too mathematical, and I am not completely confident 
if I understood everything correctly.
 
If we denote distribution (normalized to unity) as p(x), x=particle size
then, according to Ref.1:
Dv=3mu_4/2mu_3 (1)
and 
Da=4mu_3/3mu_2 (2)

Do I understand correctly, that moments mu_i are just:

mu_i=Int[0, Infinity]{x^i*p(x)dx}

Or there are some missing factors somewhere?

Sincerely,
Maxim.
