Evaluation of uncertainty utilising the component by component approach

 This paper reviews the so-called "component by component approach" of evaluating measurement uncertainty. An overview of the evaluation process is given followed by an in-depth discussion of some of the differences between this approach and the approach of utilising validation data. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of using the component by component approach are outlined at the end. Received: 4 August 1999 · Accepted: 11 November 1999     

High-frequency acoustic emissions generated by a 20 kHz sonochemical horn processor detected using a novel broadband acoustic sensor: a preliminary study

This paper describes the application of a novel broadband acoustic sensor to evaluating the acoustic emissions from cavitation produced by a typical commercial 20 kHz sonochemical horn processor. Investigations of the reproducibility of the processor, and of the variation in cavitation emissions as a function of output setting and sensor location are described, and resulting trends discussed in terms of the broadband integrated power in the megahertz frequency range. Companion studies with a conventional membrane hydrophone have illustrated for the first time that cavitation emissions produced by a sonochemical horn processor can extend to frequencies beyond 20 MHz, and the sensor shows that significant nonlinearity can be seen in measured cavitation activity with increasing nominal output power.     

Voice field measurements—a new method of examination: the influence of hearing on the human voice

There are various methods to evaluate voice parameters. Original software was used to assess the voice quality by the staff of AUDIO-Fon centr Brno, Czech Republic. A group of hereditary deaf persons was examined. Deaf persons have all of the biological conditions to make voice except for the possibility of acoustic feedback. We examined the voices of 35 persons (20 men and 15 women) with hereditary profound hearing impairments, and we compared voice parameters with the voice of intact persons. To measure we used special software called voice field measurements (VFMs). The program graphically records voice frequency and intensity. VFM is an objective method that enables the assessment of basic physical voice characteristics. It is suitable for the examination of both intact and disturbed voice. The voice of the deaf has a higher basic voice frequency in men as well as in women. This type of voice production, ie, childlike voice, which is fixed only by a motor stereotype, is much more demanding for a mature larynx. Hearing influences both the voice development and speech production. The voice of persons with hearing impairments has a higher basic voice frequency regardless of their sex. This type of voice production, which is fixed only by a motor stereotype, ie, child voice, is much more demanding for a larynx of an adult. Thus, phonation of deaf people is more demanding and their voice production needs greater effort. Deaf people, despite an intact phonic apparatus, cannot produce more than one type of voice. They cannot modulate their voices concerning the frequency and dynamics. They cannot change their voices continually. The voice is limited in both of these parameters (frequency and dynamics). If a deaf person wants to change a voice characteristic, it is possible only by discontinuous changes-"skipping."     

Traceability without uncertainty: current situation in the pharmaceutical industry

The current situation in the pharmaceutical industry is discussed, when the traceability of measurement (analytical) results to certified values of pharmacopoeial reference standards is required, without evaluating their uncertainties. It is shown that the evaluation of measurement uncertainty is necessary for understanding the level of confidence of the analytical results and their comparability, particularly during preparation and characterisation of the reference standards.Papers published in this section do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Editors, the Editorial Board and the Publisher.

Gaussian extended cubature formulae for polyharmonic functions

The purpose of this paper is to show certain links between univariate interpolation by algebraic polynomials and the representation of polyharmonic functions. This allows us to construct cubature formulae for multivariate functions having highest order of precision with respect to the class of polyharmonic functions. We obtain a Gauss type cubature formula that uses values of linear functionals (integrals over hyperspheres) and is exact for all -harmonic functions, and consequently, for all algebraic polynomials of variables of degree .

     

Estimation of the Multivariate Normal Precision Matrix under the Entropy Loss

Let X ₁, , X _n (n > p) be a random sample from multivariate normal distribution N _p (, ), where R ^p and is a positive definite matrix, both and being unknown. We consider the problem of estimating the precision matrix ^–1. In this paper it is shown that for the entropy loss, the best lower-triangular affine equivariant minimax estimator of ^–1 is inadmissible and an improved estimator is explicitly constructed. Note that our improved estimator is obtained from the class of lower-triangular scale equivariant estimators.     

Electroweak precision data and gravitino dark matter

Electroweak precision measurements can provide indirect information about the possible scale of supersymmetry already at the present level of accuracy. We review present day sensitivities of precision data in mSUGRA-type models with the gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The χ ² fit is based on M _W , sin² θ _eff, (g−2) _μ , BR(b → sγ) and the lightest MSSM Higgs boson mass, M _h . We find indications for relatively light soft supersymmetry-breaking masses, offering good prospects for the LHC and the ILC, and in some cases also for the Tevatron.      

固体棒状热容激光器的热分析

 计算出固体棒状热容激光器在不同散热边界条件下的温度分布和随时间的演变，与实验测量的结果进行了对比。计算结果表明：激光器工作在热容模式时，不同散热边界条件下激光介质内的温度分布在激光发射期间区别不大，激光发射期间，激光介质内的温度分布主要取决于泵浦光的吸收。但是散热过程中的不同散热边界条件下温度分布演化大不相同，此时的温度分布主要取决于散热边界条件。
