Skeptics who still doubt anthropogenic climate change have now been stripped of one of their last-ditch arguments: It is true that there has been a warming hiatus and that the surface of Earth has ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Genome-scale data sets result in an enhanced resolution of the phylogenetic inference by reducing stochastic errors. However, there is also an ...

With the usage of micropipettes in the life science laboratory, various pipette and pipetting errors have been linked. Users familiar with such micropipette issues can assist users to reduce further ...

This article discusses simple processes for addressing the random and systematic errors caused by the dead time in a gramma-ray spectrometer. It also explains the applicability of the livetime clock ...

When gathering a measurement using a spectroscopy instrument, the user wants to be confident in the result. Whether the technique is OES, XRF, or LIBS, or if thickness or composition are measured, the ...

Very often, in the test and measurement industry, a measurement is made by instrumentation, which is often subject to errors. It is difficult to estimate the true value of the measured quantity given ...

While previous sections of this report have focused on the kinds of systematic biases that may be the largest worry when it comes to public opinion polls, the variance (or precision) of estimates is ...

A computer simulation study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pattern on the precision of frequency estimates as determined from random and systematic plot placement. Computer graphics were ...
