The positioning precision of ground-based targets is studied as a function of instrument and experiment parameters of the wide-angle airborne laser ranging system (WA-ALRS). The models for range measurements, validated in previous ground-based experiments, are used for simulating aircraft measurements. It is shown that the positioning precision, evaluated from the a posteriori covariance matrix...

In current society there is a growing call for robotic platforms designed to provide direct assistance to humans within the near future. An essential requirement, if robots are to become accepted as service providers that interact directly with humans, is that the human-robot interactions must not only be safe and reliable, but also produce a satisfying user experience. Here we report results f...

To improve the localization precision of nodes in Wireless sensor network (WSN), this paper analyses the source of the localization error in the least square localization algorithm (LSL), and it can be concluded that the minimum cumulative relative distance error of the benchmark anchor node directly influence the localization precision. Based on the analyses, this paper proposes an improved le...

The Pentium computer chip’s division algorithm relies on a table from which five entries were inadvertently omitted, with the result that 1738 single precision dividenddivisor pairs yield relative errors whose most significant bit is uniformly distributed from the 14th to the 23rd (least significant) bit. This corresponds to a rate of one error every 40 billion random single precision divisions...

With ever-increasing computational demand for deep learning, it is critical to investigate the implications of the numeric representation and precision of DNN model weights and activations on computational efficiency. In this work, we explore unconventional narrow-precision floating-point representations as it relates to inference accuracy and efficiency to steer the improved design of future D...

Gravicentric visual alignments become less precise when the head is roll-tilted relative to gravity, which is most likely due to decreasing otolith sensitivity. To align a luminous line with the perceived gravity vector (gravicentric task) or the perceived body-longitudinal axis (egocentric task), the roll orientation of the line on the retina and the torsional position of the eyes relative to ...

the antibiotic residues in milk are a well-known serious problem and pose several health hazards to consumers. we have described a simple, rapid, and inexpensive dllme-hplc/uv technique for the extraction of chloramphenicol and florfenicol residues in milk samples. under the optimum conditions, linearity of the method was observed over the range 0.02-0.85 µg/l with correlation coefficients > 0....

in this study, simple, fast and reliable cyclic voltammetry (cv), linear sweep voltammetry (lsv), square wave voltammetry (swv) and differential pulse voltammetry (dpv) methods were developed and validated for determination of bosentan in pharmaceutical preparations. the proposed methods were based on electrochemical oxidation of bosentan at platinum electrode in acetonitrile solution containin...

a simple, sensitive, accurate and precise simultaneous uv spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of carisoprodol, paracetamol and caffeine in tablet dosage form. the absorption maxima of the drugs were found to be 221, 248 and 273 nm for carisoprodol, paracetamol and caffeine respectively, in methanol, using a double beam uv/visible spectrophotometer. carisoprodol, para...

in this study, a rapid, simple and sensitive ion mobility spectrometry (ims) method with corona discharge as ionization source was described for the morphine determination in human urine. morphine was extracted and purified from urine samples using solid phase extraction procedure with c18 column. it can offer the clean extracts which no extra peaks were observed in ims. under operating experim...
