  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 ; 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. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    Prism factor is based on the angle of the prism, and prisms are available in different factors, expressed in both square feet/acre (5, 10, 20 BAF are most common) and square meters/hectare (1-5 BAF are common). Prism size is chosen to yield a statistically valid estimate of basal area - 6-10 "in" trees per plot are required, which requires a ...

  4. Exophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

    Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Prism_correction

    1. How about an illustration of the difference that prismatic lenses make in a user's view over that of regular lenses? 2. How about an illustration to visually explain what it meant by the "prism dioptres" section? 3. Can prismatic lenses be included with bifocals, progressive lenses, polarizing, tinting, Crizol lenses, etc? 4.

  6. Apollo 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1

    Apollo 1, initially designated AS-204, was planned to be the first crewed mission of the Apollo program, [1] the American undertaking to land the first man on the Moon. It was planned to launch on February 21, 1967, as the first low Earth orbital test of the Apollo command and service module .

  7. Atmospheric refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction

    Young [6] [11] distinguished several regions where different methods for calculating astronomical refraction were applicable. In the upper portion of the sky, with a zenith distance of less than 70° (or an altitude over 20°), various simple refraction formulas based on the index of refraction (and hence on the temperature, pressure, and humidity) at the observer are adequate.

  8. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    F 21 is the force applied on body 2 exerted by body 1, G is the gravitational constant, m 1 and m 2 are respectively the masses of bodies 1 and 2, r 21 = r 2 − r 1 is the displacement vector between bodies 1 and 2, and

  9. Madhava's correction term - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhava's_correction_term

    Madhava's correction term is a mathematical expression attributed to Madhava of Sangamagrama (c. 1340 – c. 1425), the founder of the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics, that can be used to give a better approximation to the value of the mathematical constant π (pi) than the partial sum approximation obtained by truncating the Madhava–Leibniz infinite series for π.
