متن کاملWhen is missing data recoverable?
Suppose a non-random portion of a data vector is missing. With some minimal prior knowledge about the data vector, can we recover the missing portion from the available one? In this paper, we consider a linear programming approach to this problem, present numerical evidence suggesting the effectiveness and limitation of this approach, and give deterministic conditions that guarantee a successfu...
متن کاملStandard reference materials: standard quartz cuvettes for high-accuracy spectrophotometry.
Accurate knowledge of lightpath and parallelism of cuvettes used in spectrophotometry are indispensable parameters that must be determined when accurate transmittance measurements of liquid materials are considered. A description is given of the design and techniques developed at NBS for production of quartz cuvettes (SRM 932) having a nominal radiation pathlength of 10 mm ± 0.03 mm. For each c...
