  2. Šidák correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šidák_correction

    The Šidák correction is derived by assuming that the individual tests are independent. Let the significance threshold for each test be α 1 {\displaystyle \alpha _{1}} ; then the probability that at least one of the tests is significant under this threshold is (1 - the probability that none of them are significant).

  3. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The strength of the prism is increased until the streak of the light passes through the centre of the prism, as the strength of the prism indicates the amount of deviation present. The Maddox rod is a handheld instrument composed of red parallel plano convex cylinder lens , which refracts light rays so that a point source of light is seen as a ...

  4. Pellin–Broca prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellin–Broca_prism

    The prism is named for its inventors, the French instrument maker Ph. Pellin and professor of physiological optics André Broca. [1] The prism consists of a four-sided block of glass shaped as a right prism with 90°, 75°, 135°, and 60° angles on the end faces. Light enters the prism through face AB, undergoes total internal reflection from ...

  5. Nicol prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicol_prism

    A Nicol prism is a type of polarizer. It is an optical device made from calcite crystal used to convert ordinary light into plane polarized light . It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection , i.e. the ordinary ray is eliminated and only the extraordinary ray is transmitted through the prism .

  7. Decay correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_correction

    Decay correction is one way of working out what the radioactivity would have been at the time it was taken, rather than at the time it was tested. For example, the isotope copper-64, commonly used in medical research, has a half-life of 12.7 hours. If you inject a large group of animals at "time zero", but measure the radioactivity in their ...

  9. Klinkenberg correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinkenberg_correction

    Klinkenberg correction. In Petrophysics a Klinkenberg correction is a procedure for calibration of permeability data obtained from a minipermeameter device. A more accurate correction factor can be obtained using Knudsen correction. When using nitrogen gas for core plug measurements, the Klinkenberg correction is usually necessary due to the so ...
