Joseph Brown continued in business by himself, quickly rebuilding the establishment which had been lost in the fire and beginning those first steps which were to establish him as a pioneer in raising the standards of accuracy of machine shop practice throughout the world.

In the best tradition, he first taught himself to see, then to draw with accuracy and assurance, and then to paint.

Even greater accuracy can be achieved by first computing the means, then using the stable one-pass algorithm on the residuals.

He has been called the " Father of History ", and was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically, test their accuracy to a certain extent and arrange them in a well-constructed and vivid narrative.

It is not common to believe in the detailed accuracy of the historical narrative and historians tend to see little to no historical truth behind the first few sagas, however, they are still seen by many as a valuable source of knowledge about the society and politics of medieval Norway.

The Harrison-Cotton machine represents the very first piece of equipment able to accurately quantify human power output ; power calculation within an accuracy range as achieved by his machine of less than 1 % remains an impressive result today.

" The ancient Chinese scientist Shen Kuo ( 1031 – 1095 ) was the first person to write of the magnetic needle compass and that it improved the accuracy of navigation by employing the astronomical concept of true north ( Dream Pool Essays, AD 1088 ), and by the 12th century the Chinese were known to use the lodestone compass for navigation.

The introduction of the pendulum, the first harmonic oscillator used in timekeeping, increased the accuracy of clocks enormously, from about 15 minutes per day to 15 seconds per day < ref >

The dirt and grime from prior shots was pushed down ahead of a tight bullet or ball ( which may have been a loose fit in the clean barrel before the first shot ), and, of course, loading was far more difficult, as the lead had to be deformed to go down in the first place, reducing the accuracy due to deformation.

Stilwell first in 1938 and with better accuracy in 1941.

Trident II ( designated D5 ) had the objective of improved accuracy, and was first deployed in 1990, and was planned to be in service for the thirty-year life of the submarines, until 2027.

In 2009 Lawrence Philips released a third version, called Metaphone 3, which achieves an accuracy of approximately 99 % for English words, non-English words familiar to Americans, and first names and family names commonly found in the United States, having been developed according to modern engineering standards against a test harness of prepared correct encodings.

Unlike show hunter classes, which reward calmness and style, jumper classes require boldness, scope, power, accuracy, and control ; speed also is a factor, especially in jump-off courses and speed classes ( when time counts even in the first round ).

Indeed, the limited accuracy available for G often limits the accuracy of scientific determination of such masses in the first place.

Newton also firmly claimed that even if it had happened that he had first heard of the inverse square proportion from Hooke, which it had not, he would still have some rights to it in view of his mathematical developments and demonstrations, which enabled observations to be relied on as evidence of its accuracy, while Hooke, without mathematical demonstrations and evidence in favour of the supposition, could only guess ( according to Newton ) that it was approximately valid " at great distances from the center ".

" Hooke's work on elasticity culminated, for practical purposes, in his development of the balance spring or hairspring, which for the first time enabled a portable timepiece – a watch – to keep time with reasonable accuracy.

Newton also firmly claimed that even if it had happened that he had first heard of the inverse square proportion from Hooke, which it had not, he would still have some rights to it in view of his mathematical developments and demonstrations, which enabled observations to be relied on as evidence of its accuracy, while Hooke, without mathematical demonstrations and evidence in favour of the supposition, could only guess ( according to Newton ) that it was approximately valid " at great distances from the center ".

The first mention of equal temperament related to Twelfth root of two in the West appeared in Simon Stevin's unfinished manuscript Van de Spiegheling der singconst ( ca 1605 ) published posthumously three hundred years later in 1884 ; however, due to insufficient accuracy of his calculation, many of the numbers he obtained were off by one or two units from the correct values.

However, because is so much smaller than, the second term on the right in the above equation is small compared to the first, so doesn't have to be determined with high accuracy, and the balancing procedure described above is sufficient to give accurate results.

Gen. Born was negligent in making an absolute statement to a local newspaper regarding the military faculty's specific academic credentials as they related to teaching disciplines without first confirming the accuracy of the supporting data.

For instance, the Fizeau – Foucault apparatus could measure the speed of light to perhaps 5 % accuracy, which was totally inadequate for measuring the direct, first order 0. 01 % change in the speed of light.

Since, the inequality could be satisfied for sufficiently small m. The sum of series first converges to the value of φ ( t ) with arbitrary high accuracy if m is small enough, and left part of the strong inequality is satisfied.

For the quantitative analysis, ten articles were selected at random – circumcision, Charles Drew, Galileo, Philip Glass, heart disease, IQ, panda bear, sexual harassment, Shroud of Turin and Uzbekistan – and letter grades of A – D or F were awarded in four categories: coverage, accuracy, clarity, and recency.

* XPS is widely used to generate empirical formula because it readily yields excellent quantitative accuracy from homogeneous solid state materials

* Under optimum conditions, the quantitative accuracy of the atomic percent ( at %) values calculated from the Major XPS Peaks is 90-95 % for each major peak.

* The quantitative accuracy for the weaker XPS signals, that have peak intensities 10-20 % of the strongest signal, are 60-80 % of the true value.

For the quantitative analysis, ten articles were selected at random ( circumcision, Charles Drew, Galileo, Philip Glass, heart disease, IQ, panda bear, sexual harassment, Shroud of Turin and Uzbekistan ) and letter grades ( A – D, F ) were awarded in four categories: coverage, accuracy, clarity, and recency.

Apart from his administrative duties, Fresenius occupied himself almost exclusively with analytical chemistry, and the fullness and accuracy of his textbooks on that subject ( of which that on qualitative analysis first appeared in 1841 and that on quantitative in 1846 ) soon rendered them standard works.

IBA methods are always quantitative with an accuracy of a few percent.

As a general rule of thumb, if the condition number, then you may lose up to digits of accuracy on top of what would be lost to the numerical method due to loss of precision from arithmetic methods.

The accuracy of a quadrature rule of the Newton-Cotes type is generally a function of the number of evaluation points.

Like a slide rule, a nomogram is a graphical analog computation device, and like the slide rule, its accuracy is limited by the precision with which physical markings can be drawn, reproduced, viewed, and aligned.

During the Iron Age II period, the town became a part of the larger Israelite kingdom under the rule of the Biblical kings David and Solomon ( 1 Kings 4: 12 refers to Beit She ’ an as a part of the district of Solomon, though the historical accuracy of this list is debated.

: It is the rule of controversialist scholarship, the error rate of which hovers around 100 percent, that a single flaw in a work of orthodox scholarship, whether perceived or actual-or fabricated-is sufficient in their eyes to cast doubt upon the accuracy and authenticity of the entire work.

The anchor increased the accuracy of clocks so much that around 1680 – 1690 the use of the minute hand, formerly the exception in clocks, became the rule

As a rule of thumb, at least four cameras are needed for acceptable reconstruction accuracy, and the cameras should be placed at approximately 30 degrees normal to the measurement volume.

One can count the duration of time simply by saying " zero ... one ... two " but for greater accuracy, it is suggested that drivers say " only a fool breaks the two-second rule ".

It was long held as a general rule of thumb, that one shore-based gun equalled three naval guns of the same caliber, due to the steadiness of the coastal gun which allowed for significantly higher accuracy than their sea-mounted counterparts.

A basic rule of the quiz was that the only answer taken as correct is that given by Rob DJ, regardless of its accuracy or clarity.

Although sequenced genome data are practically biased toward small genomes, which may compromise the accuracy of the empirically derived correlation, and the ultimate proof of the correlation remains to be obtained by sequencing some of the largest eukaryotic genomes, current data do not seem to rule out a correlation.

A similar amateurish characteristic is revealed in Adams' failure to check the accuracy and authenticity of his informational sources.

What Krim ignores, in his contempt for history and for accuracy, is that these magazines, Partisan foremost, brought about a genuine revolution in the American mind from the mid-thirties to approximately 1950.

Since the validity of all subsequent planning depends on the accuracy of the basic inventory information, great care is being taken that the inventory is as complete as possible.

The element is inserted in the discharge circuit in place of the exploding wire, and the calorimetric heating of the element is measured with high accuracy.

It is our lack of extreme accuracy which forces the use of very large yield nuclear weapons.

Sometimes it is necessary to roughly calculate the square inch area of the opening but the calculation can usually be made with sufficient accuracy that it won't affect the final computation.

The accuracy of the Jet cartridge is fine ; ;

The bore is unrifled but is provided with an insert tube which is rifled and which, surprisingly, gives pretty fair accuracy even though it's only 3-1/2 inches long.

It is sufficiently small compared with the surface temperature of the anode holder, to make the energy flux radiated from the environment toward the anode holder negligible within the accuracy of the present measurements.

It omits, for example, practically the whole line of great nineteenth century English social critics, nearly all the great writers whose basic position is religious, and all those who are with more or less accuracy called Existentialists.

If high accuracy is required in preflight leveling, it is usually necessary to integrate or doubly integrate the accelerometer outputs ( this also minimizes the noise problem ).

However, skill is required on the part of an operator to level a platform to any degree of accuracy.

The choice of the heading technique is dependent upon the accuracy requirements, field conditions, and the time available to accomplish the heading.

Obviously, the heading accuracy is lessened by such techniques since errors are introduced because of motion of the stand.

One benefit is that the statistical moment calculations can be carried out to arbitrary accuracy such that the computations can be tuned to the precision of, e. g., the data storage format or the original measurement hardware.

Neither G nor M < sub >☉</ sub > can be measured to high accuracy in SI units, but the value of their product is known very precisely from observing the relative positions of planets ( Kepler's Third Law expressed in terms of Newtonian gravitation ).
