[1] We have conducted an observing system simulation experiment for the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) satellite instrument to determine the potential of nadir retrievals of carbon monoxide (CO) from this instrument to constrain estimates of continental sources of CO. We use the GEOS-CHEM global chemical transport model to produce a pseudoatmosphere in which the relationship between s...

We present a multiwavelength study of the environment of the unidentified X-ray/γ-ray sources IGR J18027−1455 and IGR J21247+5058, recently discovered by the IBIS/ISGRI instrument, onboard the INTEGRAL satellite. The main properties of the sources found inside their position error circles, give us clues about the nature of these high-energy sources.

Reliability and Validity 2 Instrument Reliability and Validity: Introductory Concepts and Measures Instrument validity and reliability have often been both misunderstood and under emphasized in the social scientific literature. In truth, these phenomena lie at the heart of competent and effective study. How productive can one's research to be if the instrument that he or she implemented does no...

The task of automatic music transcription has been studied for several decades and is regarded as an enabling technology for a multitude of applications such as music retrieval and discovery, intelligent music processing and large-scale musicological analyses. It refers to the process of identifying the musical content of a performance and representing it in a symbolic format. Despite its long ...

introduction: the use of computer vision technology has been highly successful in food classification in the past and it has continued this success in recent times. however, a number of opportunities to progress computer vision technology exist which are critically examined based on cost and feasibility. a range of hardware options are considered along with a range of software options. the econ...

This paper characterizes the effective beams, the effective beam window functions and the associated errors for the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) detectors. The effective beam is the angular response including the effect of the optics, detectors, data processing and the scan strategy. The window function is the representation of this beam in the harmonic domain that is required to reco...

The Likert scale is a psychometric commonly used for response measurement. This measurement includes techniques designing and administering surveys as well coding analyzing data. However, scaling has various limitations that can affect the resulting study aims to reprove number of dimensions SATS-36 instrument, prove validity, estimate reliability statistical attitude instrument (SATS-36) on st...
