Objective vs Observer Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
Post-inflationary boundary conditions are essential to the existence of our highly structured universe, and these can only come about through quantum mechanical state reductions – i.e., through measurements. The choice is between: An ‘objective’ measurement that allows reduction to occur independent of conscious observers, and an ‘observer’ based measurement that ties reduction to the existence of a conscious observer. It is shown in this paper that that choice cannot be determined empirically; so how we finally understand state reduction will be decided by the way that reduction is used in a wider (future) theoretical framework.

Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of ADC measurements in esophageal carcinoma primary tumors
The apparent diffuse coefficient (ADC) may correlate with the treatment response to chemotherapy/radiotherapy in solid tumors. Our aim was to determine the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of ADC measurements in primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). ADCs were blindly measured in 31 patients diagnosed with ESCC by two observers before treatment (pre-ADC) and after 5th fract...
متن کاملThe Impact of Electronic vs. Human Observer Feedback on Improving Teaching of Translation Skills to Iranian EFL Students
In the area of teaching translation, investigating the effectiveness of technological solutions in developing translation skills is both timely and in demand. As the first step, one can try to explore feedback generated by machines compared to humans. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of electronic feedback provided by the designed translation software on the translation skill...
متن کاملGrayscale inversion radiographic view provided improved intra- and inter-observer reliabilities in measuring spinopelvic parameters in asymptomatic adult population
BACKGROUND Recently, a grayscale inversion view was reported to improve intra- and inter-observer reliabilities in measuring coronal curvature with Cobb and pedicle methods in scoliosis patients. However, the grayscale transformation has never been applied to the measurements of spinopelvic parameters. The purpose of this study was to compare the measurement reliabilities of the spinoplevic sag...
متن کاملMeasuring Ventilatory Activity with Structured Light Plethysmography (SLP) Reduces Instrumental Observer Effect and Preserves Tidal Breathing Variability in Healthy and COPD
The use of a mouthpiece to measure ventilatory flow with a pneumotachograph (PNT) introduces a major perturbation to breathing ("instrumental/observer effect") and suffices to modify the respiratory behavior. Structured light plethysmography (SLP) is a non-contact method of assessment of breathing pattern during tidal breathing. Firstly, we validated the SLP measurements by comparing timing com...
متن کاملAssessment of left atrial volume and function in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation: comparison of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, 320-slice multi-detector computed tomography, and transthoracic echocardiography.
AIMS Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. AF is associated with enlargement of the left atrium (LA), and the LA volume has important prognostic implications for the disease. The objective of the study was to determine how measurements of LA volume and function obtained by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardia...
