A new technique for quantification of human errors in chemical analysis using expert judgments is described. This technique is based on the house-of-security approach developed recently in the field of safety and security for prevention of terrorist and criminal attacks against an organization. The following relative quantification parameters (expressed in %) are proposed in the technique: (a) likelihood score of human error in a chemical analytical measurement/testing method, (b) severity score of human error for reliability of the test results, (c) importance score of a component of a laboratory quality system, and (d) effectiveness score of the quality system as a whole in preventing/blocking human error. As an example, 34 scenarios of human error in pH measurement of groundwater are discussed and quantified. 相似文献

Two-dimensional synthetic aperture imaging in the optical domain 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
In scan-mode synthetic aperture imaging radar, spatial resolution in a range is given by a frequency-swept waveform, whereas resolution in the orthogonal direction is derived from the record of phase as the beam footprint executes linear motion over the object. We demonstrate here what is to our knowledge the first two-dimensional imaging that uses exactly this process in the optical domain for a 1 cm x 1 cm object with 90 mumx170 mum resolution. 相似文献

The paper considers various aspects of statistical quality control by means of sample data received on a ternary ordinal scale. A new method for evaluating quality level and dispersion, free of any latent numerical scale assumptions, is proposed. The emphasis is on working with large samples, which enable the statistical analysis, estimation and control by the use of approximate analytical expressions of these measures to be considerably simplified. Two complementary studies demonstrate the usage of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The usage of ordinal scales (sometimes called ‘semi-quantitative’ scales) for performing measurements in the area of applied
chemical metrology and quality assurance is widespread. This paper presents a method for handling actions such as calibration,
measuring systems’ capabilities comparison and reproducibility evaluation as a comparison between two measuring systems (MSs)
referring to a known/unknown reference standard. The strength of the agreement between these MSs is evaluated through two
known versions of Cohen’s kappa statistics (the traditional one and the modified one). The effectiveness of these statistics
from the metrological point of view is examined, and the preferability of the modified kappa statistics is demonstrated via
an example. 相似文献

Unbiased estimators of within-laboratory and between-laboratory (or within reference material unit and between-unit) variances of results of qualitative and semi-quantitative testing are formulated and discussed. Qualitative and semi-quantitative test results were treated as binary nominal and ordinal values, respectively, in framework of the newly developed ordinal analysis of variance (ORDANOVA). It is shown that the difference of the unbiased and the biased estimators of a within-laboratory variance does not exceed 5 %, when the number of replicate tests in a laboratory is larger than 20. Such a difference is increasing when the replicate number is decreasing, not depending on the number of laboratories and the between-laboratory variation, since both the unbiased and the biased estimators are based on the averaged within-laboratory variances. The difference of the unbiased and the biased estimators of the between-laboratory variance depends not only on the number of replicates, but also on the number of laboratories and on the ratio of the contributions to the total variance (the between-laboratory variance and the averaged within-laboratory variance). This difference does not exceed 5 %, when the number of replicates and the number of laboratories are larger than 20 and the ratio of the between-laboratory to the averaged within-laboratory variances does not yield 1. For a limited size of experiment (smaller numbers of replicates and laboratories), the difference is increasing with the size decreasing and can be significant. 相似文献

A method for evaluating qualitative proficiency testing (PT) of laboratories conducting binary tests is proposed. The method is based on the scale-invariant item response model proposed by the authors in earlier publications. We consider the case where the laboratories under the PT conduct test consisting of a set of test items/species presenting different, but unknown beforehand levels of difficulty when trying to detect a particular property of theirs, and we need to evaluate/compare both the intrinsic abilities of the participating laboratories and the level of difficulty of the test items. We assume that the responses to different test items do not affect one another and discuss how to get and interpret the most likely estimates/scores. The method is illustrated by the example presented in a recent publication by our colleagues from QuoData GmbH and can be considered as an alternative to that proposed in their publication method of scoring. 相似文献

High purity chalcogenide glasses were prepared in the series As2S(3?x)Sex where x = 0 to 3. The measured third order non-linearities increase with the value of x, and are up to about 1000 times larger than silica for As2Se3 glass. We show that the anharmonic oscillator model, using the normalized photon energy, gives an excellent fit to the data over three orders of magnitude. Single mode optical fibers based on As2S3 and As2Se3 glasses have been fabricated using the double crucible technique and the Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) investigated. The threshold intensity for the SBS process was measured and used to estimate the Brillouin gain coefficient. Preliminary results indicate record high values for the figure of merit and theoretical gain, compared to silica, which bodes well for slow-light based applications in chalcogenide fibers. 相似文献
