ecently a special Independent Research and Development project demonstrated that translator-based differential Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements can achieve a measurement accuracy of 2 cm in realistic missile intercept test environments. The project was initiated in recognition of a serious need an effective precision analysis capability for use in evaluating engagements and lethalit...

This work investigates how using reduced precision data in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) affects network accuracy during classification. Unlike previous work, this study considers networks where each layer may use different precision data. Our key result is the observation that the tolerance of CNNs to reduced precision data not only varies across networks, a well established observation...

The present contribution is the second of four parts. It considers the precision and correlation of the least-squares estimators of the carrier phase ambiguities. It is shown how the precision and correlation of the double-differenced ambiguities as well as of the widelane ambiguities are effected by the observation weights, by the number of satellites tracked, by the number of observation epoc...

a simple, rapid and sensitive hplc method for the determination of theophylline (t) in human serum has been developed. an isocratic system consisting of a /-l bondapak c18 column, mobile phase of methanol, phosphate buffer (22:78, ph=4.5), and a flow rate of 1.4 ml/min was used. the eluent was detected by uv at 275 nm at room temperature. 8-chlorotheophylline (8-ct) was used as an internal stan...

BACKGROUND Even though a Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute proposal exists on the design of studies and performance criteria for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, it has not yet led to a consistent evaluation of different systems, as no consensus has been reached on the reference method to evaluate them or on acceptance levels. As a consequence, performance assessment of CG...

Introduction In recent years, quality control has been extended to an everincreasing number of biochemical parameters. Its application to blood-gas analysis is complicated by two main factors: the need for reliable, reproducible quality control materials and the variability of calibration standards among the different clinical departments using blood gas apparatus ]. Moreover, automatic analyse...

BACKGROUND Recent research indicates a high recall in Google Scholar searches for systematic reviews. These reports raised high expectations of Google Scholar as a unified and easy to use search interface. However, studies on the coverage of Google Scholar rarely used the search interface in a realistic approach but instead merely checked for the existence of gold standard references. In additi...

A measurement of the absolute collision energy with a relative precision approaching 10 is a critical component of the linear collider physics program. Measurements of the top quark and Higgs boson masses to 50 MeV can only be performed if this level of precision is achieved. The ongoing project described here will carry out the conceptual design of a downstream beam energy spectrometer capable...

We investigated conditions under which observers can interpolate occluded contours by a single, stable, smooth contour. Observers viewed partly-occluded contours defined by linear segments and estimated the position and tangent orientation of the contour at multiple locations within the occluded region. We measured the precision and consistency of observers' settings as indices of successful in...
