Using the Mandelstam-Tamm method we derive time-energy uncertainty relations for neutrino oscillations. We demonstrate that the small energy uncertainty of antineutrinos in a recently considered experiment with recoilless resonant (Mössbauer) production and absorption of tritium antineutrinos is in conflict with the energy uncertainty which, according to the time-energy uncertainty relation, is...

This paper explores a methodology for quantifying the uncertainty of DEMs created by digitising topographic maps. The origins of uncertainty in DEM production were identified and examined. The uncertainty of DEM data was quantified by computing a vector total of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) from the source map, sampling and measurement errors, and the interpolation process. Distributional meas...

a r t i c l e i n f o We analyze firms' entry, production and hedging decisions under imperfect competition. We consider an oligopoly industry producing a homogeneous output in which risk-averse firms face an entry cost upon entering the industry, and then compete in Cournot with one another. Each firm faces uncertainty in the input cost when making production decision, and has access to the fu...

Error mapping of machine tools is a multi-measurement task that is planned based on expert knowledge. There are no intelligent tools aiding the production of optimal measurement plans. In previous work, a method of intelligently constructing measurement plans demonstrated that it is feasible to optimise the plans either to reduce machine tool downtime or the estimated uncertainty of measurement...

This paper synthesizes and analyzes some important current and recent contributions to the theory of the firm under uncertainty. In so doing, it examines the production and hedging decisions of the competitive firm under a single source and multiple sources of uncertainty.

Achieving a high quality product corresponding consumer requirements involves organizing and supporting the production process with a suitable and flexible logistics process. As the process / production flow is better organized, divided into subdomains (production, maintenance, quality), each with clearly defined indicators and responsibilities, the more the process will be more stable, easier ...

Production and cost frontiers of a firm in an industry are directly affected by the uncertainty of market demand and the uncertainty of input availability. The nonparametric approach of data envelopment analysis is generalized here in both static and dynamic directions by incorporating these uncertainties.

It has been extremely difficult to characterize the SONET/SDH standard receiver with tolerances of 0.3 dB. This paper describes a method for calibrating photoreceiver frequency response with the low inherent uncertainty of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Nd:YAG heterodyne system and transferring this calibration to a production test system while maintaining a low uncerta...
