Frog Swarms: Earthquake Precursors or False Alarms?
In short-term earthquake risk forecasting, the avoidance of false alarms is of utmost importance to preclude the possibility of unnecessary panic among populations in seismic hazard areas. Unusual animal behaviour prior to earthquakes has been reported for millennia but has rarely been scientifically documented. Recently large migrations or unusual behaviour of amphibians have been linked to la...
متن کاملFalse Alarms About False Memories
M. B. Miller and G. L. Wolford (1999) make two contributions. First, they add conditions to the basic Roediger-McDermott (1995) procedure and find that critical items are recalled and recognized more often if they are presented in the list than if they are not presented. These results agree with our own, which are briefly reviewed. Second, they apply signal detection theory to the paradigm and ...
متن کاملSelf-organization of earthquake swarms
The temporal clustering of swarm activity di ers signi cantly from characteristics of aftershock sequences accompanying mainshocks. This is often assumed to be caused by crustal structure complexities and uid migration. However, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood, especially, the processes and conditions which lead to the apparent di erences between the swarm patterns and typi...
متن کاملReducing False Alarms with Multi-modal Sensing
Industrial sensing applications place a premium on costeffectiveness and accuracy. Traditional approaches often use expensive, invasive sensors, because inexpensive sensors suffer from false positive detections. Sensor cost means automation is sparse or avoided when the value of specific sites cannot be justified. In this paper, we show combining different types of sensors can allow low-cost se...
متن کاملConscious sedation and pulse oximetry: false alarms?
The use of pulse oximetry in dental procedures involving sedation and children has been encouraged strongly. Reports have indicated that hemoglobin desaturations are not uncommon when a variety of drugs (including nitrous oxide) and dosages are used. The present study investigated the nature of desaturations in relation to patient activity as a function of a drug combination, single drug dose-r...
