One common method is to take a group of seven target photos and responses, randomly shuffle the targets and responses, and then ask independent judges to rank or match the correct targets with the participant's actual responses.

In botany, the correct name according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants ( ICN ) is the one and only botanical name that is to be used for a particular taxon, when that taxon has a particular circumscription, position and rank.

If there are two or more legitimate names for the same taxon ( with the same circumscription, position and rank ), then the correct name is the one which has priority, i. e., it was published earliest, although names may be conserved if they have been very widely used.

Since taxonomists may disagree as to the circumscription, position or rank of a taxon, there can be more than one correct name for a particular plant.

If the section is raised in rank to become the genus Falcataria, the correct name cannot be Falcataria falcataria, as might be expected, since under the botanical code ( but not the zoological code ) names with the same word as both the genus and the specific epithet ( tautonyms ) are forbidden.

Replica Crannóg on Loch TayIn reality, crannogs took on many different forms and methods of construction based upon what was available in the immediate landscape ; there is no single " correct " way to construct a crannog.

As with other types of LR parser, an LALR parser is quite efficient at finding the single correct bottom-up parse in a single left-to-right scan over the input stream, because it doesn't need to use backtracking.

LR parsers are deterministic ; they produce a single correct parse without guesswork or backtracking, in linear time.

This is why it is not correct to speak of a single ' metallic bond '.

Through the use of reciprocal doors, the correct path can intersect the incorrect path on a single plane.

As they open and close cell membranes or travel through tissue and enter cells and viruses, machines will only be able to correct a single molecular disorder like DNA damage or enzyme deficiency.

The object of each round is to create a chain of nine consecutive correct answers and earn an increasing amount for a single communal pot within a certain time limit.

Haüy's study led to the correct idea that crystals are a regular three-dimensional array ( a Bravais lattice ) of atoms and molecules ; a single unit cell is repeated indefinitely along three principal directions that are not necessarily perpendicular.

After spending over a year eliminating simpler explanations, it was indicated that the plants " cached " versions of their ancestors ' genes going back at least four generations, and used these records as templates to correct the HOTHEAD mutation and other single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Late 20th century ones had a single, thicker coating of polyethylene cross-linked to provide the correct degree of brittleness.

Einstein realized that it was also possible for astronomical objects to bend light, and that under the correct conditions, one would observe multiple images of a single source, called a gravitational lens or sometimes a gravitational mirage.

Theoretically this process should be simple as the airway is easily accessible and there is only a single gene defect to correct.

These effects can be obtained from a single drug which alone provides the correct combination of effects, or occasionally a combination of drugs ( such as hypnotics, sedatives, paralytics and analgesics ) to achieve very specific combinations of results.

As with other types of LR ( 1 ) parser, an SLR parser is quite efficient at finding the single correct bottom-up parse in a single left-to-right scan over the input stream, without guesswork or backtracking.

An article by R. J. Sternberg in the Creativity Research Journal reviewed the " investment " theory of creativity as well as the " propulsion " theory of creative contribution, suggesting that there are eight types of creative contribution ; replication-confirming that the given field is in the correct place-redefinition-the attempt to redefine where the field is and how it is viewed-forward incrementation-a creative contribution that moves the field forward in the direction in which it is already moving-advance forward movement-which advances the field past the point where others are ready for it to go-redirection-which moves field in a new, different direction-redirection from a point in the past-which moves the field back to a previous point to advance in a different direction-starting over / re-initiation-moving the field to a different starting point-and integration-combining two or more diverse ways of thinking about the field into a single way of thinking.

Convergent thinking involves aiming for a single, correct solution to a problem, whereas divergent thinking involves creative generation of multiple answers to a set problem.

When heated in the correct conditions, these chains bond side-to-side ( ladder polymers ), forming narrow graphene sheets which eventually merge to form a single, columnar filament.

The new model's running lights were matched to similar intensities, saving the effects artists time because the lights would look correct with only a single pass, instead of three passes required previously ( for the sensor dome, running lights, and window lights ).

The geometric patterns, such as modern North African zellige work, made of small tiles each of a single colour but different and regular shapes, are often referred to as " mosaic ", which is not strictly correct.

There is no single " correct " measure of the money supply.
