Fortunately, the short ranges and spread of shot provide a significant overlap, so a small error in regulation in a double will often be too small to be noticed.

Trailing zeros after the decimal point are not necessary, although in science, engineering and statistics they can be retained to indicate a required precision or to show a level of confidence in the accuracy of the number: Although 0. 080 and 0. 08 are numerically equal, in engineering 0. 080 suggests a measurement with an error of up to one part in two thousand (± 0. 0005 ), while 0. 08 suggests a measurement with an error of up to one in two hundred ( see significant figures ).

He had checked about 40 % of the unavoidability portion and found a significant error in the discharging procedure.

In a minority of cases hypoglycemia turns out to be due to significant hyperinsulinism, hypopituitarism or an inborn error of metabolism and presents more of a management challenge.

For example, it is common for digital balances to exhibit random error in their least significant digit.

In science, researchers commonly report the standard deviation of experimental data, and only effects that fall far outside the range of standard deviation are considered statistically significant – normal random error or variation in the measurements is in this way distinguished from causal variation.

The question depended on correct analysis of the lunar motions, and received a further complication with another discovery, around the same time, that another significant long-term perturbation that had been calculated for the Moon ( supposedly due to the action of Venus ) was also in error, was found on re-examination to be almost negligible, and practically had to disappear from the theory.

If the thermistor is being used to measure the temperature of the environment, this electrical heating may introduce a significant error if a correction is not made.

The error is zero for DC, small at low frequencies, but significant when high frequencies have high amplitudes.

Here, when not explicitly stated, the margin of error is understood to be one-half the value of the last significant place.

For instance, a recording of 843. 6 m, or 843. 0 m, or 800. 0 m would imply a margin of 0. 05 m ( the last significant place is the tenths place ), while a recording of 8, 436 m would imply a margin of error of 0. 5 m ( the last significant digits are the units ).

Arrows may miss their targets due to a small degree of simulated aiming error that becomes significant at long range, or the target may simply move out of the way before the arrow reaches them.

This process involves significant trial and error on the part of researchers, as microsatellite repeat sequences must be predicted and primers that are randomly isolated may not display significant polymorphism.

Installing operating system and programs in to each of them one by one requires a lot of time and effort and has a significant possibility of human error.

Problems can also be identified from a single significant incident, indicative of a single error, for which the cause is unknown, but for which the impact is significant.

Unfortunately, this is not a useful algorithm for generating sine tables because it has a significant error, proportional to 1 / N.

Optimal use of dither ( triangular probability density function dither in PCM systems ) has the effect of making the rms quantization error independent of signal level ( Dunn 2003: 143 ), and allows signal information to be retained below the least significant bit of the digital system ( Stuart n. d .: 3 ).

* No significant difference, when differences between categories are smaller than the amount of error / noise in the data

The difference is less than one percent, but it is more than five times greater than Millikan's standard error, so the disagreement is significant.

V7M contained many fixes to the kernel including support for separate instruction and data spaces, significant work for hardware error recovery, and many device drivers.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.

In still others which are barely on the threshold of the transition into modernity, the decade can bring significant progress in launching the slow process of developing their human resources and their basic services to the point where an expanded range of developmental activities is possible.

The Institute also planned to furnish a regular series of articles, beginning in the fall of 1960, on its more significant Scientific Exhibits.

Statistically, the most significant data have been collected from the sensors on 1958 Alpha ( Explorer 1 ), 1958 Delta 2 ( Sputnik 3 ), and 1959 Eta ( Vanguard 3 ).

Moreover, it should not be so fastidious in its growth requirements as to make production on a militarily significant scale improbable.

Thus it is reasonable to believe that there is a significant difference between the two groups in their performance on this task after a brief `` structuring '' experience.

A t test on these two groups, shifters vs. nonshifters, gave a `` t '' value of 2.405 which is significant on the two-tail test at the

Indeed their achievement scores were somewhat better on an absolute basis although the difference was not significant.

We have a brief glimpse of the Tsar's public personality, the `` official Boris '', but our real focus is on the excitement of the crowd -- a significant contrast with its halfhearted acclamation in the opening scene, its bitter resentment and fury in the final act.

Since the psychiatric interview, like any other interview, depends on communication, it is significant to note that the therapist in this interview was a man of marked skill and long experience.

Or, on the other hand, are unlikely facts being stated, facts which are in themselves significant and not easily applicable to everybody??

One medium saw two sheets flapping on a line and found that the name Shietz was significant to the sitter.

It has come on with a rush in more significant areas.

In any case, anyone who fails to make significant distinction between primary and secondary applications of economic pressure would in principle already have justified that use of economic boycott as a means which broke out a few years ago or was skillfully organized by White Citizens' Councils in the entire state of Mississippi against every local Philco dealer in that state, in protest against a Philco-sponsored program over a national TV network on which was presented a drama showing, it seemed, a `` high yellow gal '' smooching with a white man.

Mobutu promptly flung out the Russians, who have not since played any significant part on the local scene, although they have redoubled their obstructionist efforts at U.N. headquarters in New York.

It follows, then, provided the possibilities have been exhausted, that the only real alternative is the general viewpoint of the `` left '', which has been represented on the Continent by Fritz Buri and, to some extent at least, is found in much that is significant in American and English theology.

Is putting a rocket in orbit half so significant as the good news that God put His Son, Jesus Christ, on earth to live and die to save our hell-bound souls??

For example, one study on volunteerism found that feeling overwhelmed by others ' demands had an even stronger negative effect on mental health than helping had a positive one ( although positive effects were still significant ).

The X3 committee also addressed how ASCII should be transmitted ( least significant bit first ), and how it should be recorded on perforated tape.

Generally, there is no trial in an appellate court, only consideration of the record of the evidence presented to the trial court and all the pre-trial and trial court proceedings are reviewed — unless the appeal is by way of re-hearing, new evidence will usually only be considered on appeal in " very " rare instances, for example if that material evidence was unavailable to a party for some very significant reason such as prosecutorial misconduct.

An alphabet is a standard set of letters ( basic written symbols or graphemes ) which is used to write one or more languages based on the general principle that the letters represent phonemes ( basic significant sounds ) of the spoken language.

In accordance with the principle on which alphabets are based, these rules will generally map letters of the alphabet to the phonemes ( significant sounds ) of the spoken language.

Another study has demonstrated that daily use of an alum-containing mouthrinse was safe and produced a significant effect on plaque that supplemented the benefits of daily toothbrushing.
