The Prentice position is an orientation of a prism, used in optics, optometry and ophthalmology. [1] In this position, named after the optician Charles F. Prentice, the prism is oriented such that light enters it at an angle of 90° to the first surface, so that the beam does not refract at that surface. All the deviation caused by the prism ...
When searching for a signal in a continuous parameter space there can also be a problem of multiple comparisons, or look-elsewhere effect. For example, a physicist might be looking to discover a particle of unknown mass by considering a large range of masses; this was the case during the Nobel Prize winning detection of the Higgs boson.
ADDITION: Should I assume that prism correction is unavailable to contact lens wearers? Thanks, Wordreader 18:17, 12 August 2015 (UTC) I'm sorry, make that "Crizal", not Crizol. Is the "fresnel prism" used in eyeglasses the same as this kind of prism? Thanks again, Wordreader 02:42, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Popular distribution-free control charts. There are distribution-free control charts for both Phase-I analysis and Phase-II monitoring. One of the most notable distribution-free control charts for Phase-I analysis is RS/P chart proposed by G. Capizzi and G. Masaratto. RS/P charts separately monitor location and scale parameters of a univariate ...
If the analyst uses the Plato tables (maintained by the American Society of Brewing Chemists [3]) they reports in °P. If using the Brix table (the current version of which is maintained by NIST and can be found on their website), [4] they reports in °Bx. If using the ICUMSA tables, [5] they would report in mass fraction (m.f.).
Using a phoropter to determine a prescription for eyeglasses. An eyeglass prescription is an order written by an eyewear prescriber, such as an optometrist, that specifies the value of all parameters the prescriber has deemed necessary to construct and/or dispense corrective lenses appropriate for a patient.
This animation portrays the de Broglie phase and group velocities (in slow motion) of three free electrons traveling over a field 0.4 ångströms in width. The momentum per unit mass (proper velocity) of the middle electron is lightspeed, so that its group velocity is 0.707 c. The top electron has twice the momentum, while the bottom electron ...
One of the application of Student's t-test is to test the location of one sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables.If we want to test the locations of multiple sequences of such variables, Šidák correction should be applied in order to calibrate the level of the Student's t-test.
