A Careful Consideration of the Calibration Concept
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a detailed discussion of the technical aspects of the calibration process with emphasis on the definition of the measurand, the conditions under which the calibration results are valid, and the subsequent use of the calibration results in measurement uncertainty statements. The concepts of measurement uncertainty, error, systematic error, and reproducibility are also addressed as they pertain to the calibration process.

On the Role of Brain-Imaging Technologies in the Calibration of Learning Strategies
In this article we discuss the process of calibration and verification of learning strategies, and argue that a careful consideration of data from brain-imaging methodologies, as well as a systematic treatment of first-person subjective reports, is the most promising route for educational researchers to answer the age-old question about what a learning strategy really amounts to. In addition we...
متن کاملEfficient Planar Camera Calibration Via Automatic Image Selection
This paper details a novel approach to automatically selecting images which improve camera calibration results. An algorithm is presented which identifies calibration images that inherently improve camera parameter estimates based on their geometric configuration or image network geometry. Analysing images in a more intuitive geometric framework allows image networks to be formed based on the r...
متن کاملAnalysis of High Solids Solutions by Flame Atomic Absorption
The analysis of solutions containing appreciable amounts of dissolved solids by flame atomic absorption requires careful consideration of the solution chemistry and sample preparation as well as an informed choice of instrumental operating conditions in order to obtain reliable results. A common problem is the physical obstruction of parts of the flame atomizer by salt accumulation which leads ...
متن کاملAutomatic Calibration of HEC-HMS Model Using Multi-Objective Fuzzy Optimal Models
Estimation of parameters of a hydrologic model is undertaken using a procedure called “calibration” in order to obtain predictions as close as possible to observed values. This study aimed to use the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for automatic calibration of the HEC-HMS hydrologic model, which includes a library of different event-based models for simulating the rainfall-runoff pr...
متن کاملVirtue in Machiavelli’s Political Thought
The interpretability of Machiavelli’s political thought relates, in the most part, to the concept of virtue and its dimensions. In Western thought, this concept has had continuity and has reached the Renaissance and Machiavelli’s times. In the Roman and Medieval tradition, philosophical, verbal, religious and even literary and historical approaches were dominant in the clarification and explana...
