Multisensor track initiation method that addresses the missing measurement problem
… data fusion techniques so as to address the problem of missing measurements. The missing measurement phenomenon occurs due to a variety of reasons, the foremost of which is variation in sensor detection performance due to environmental factors. The proposed MSTI method requires only the …

The Measurement Problem within Quantum Mechanics on a Non-commutative Plane
This work addresses the measurement problem in quantum physics through the framework of quantum mechanics on a non-commutative plane. The study is motivated by the conceptual tension between unitary quantum evolution and the non-unitary collapse postulate, and by the incompatibility between general …

The Case for Quantum State Realism
… state, the first derived from the so-called ‘measurement problem’, and the second from the concept of local causality. I argue that existing antirealist interpretations do not solve the measurement problem. Furthermore, I argue that it is possible to construct a local, realist interpretation …

Minimally intrusive strategies for fault detection and energy monitoring
… because they take a different approach to the measurement problem. Specifically, these techniques use the power distribution network in the target system as a power source, a sensor array, and a communications channel. In this "multi-use" approach, the only measurement sources are a set of …

Performance Appraisal of Estimation Algorithms and Application of Estimation Algorithms to Target Tracking
… of estimation theory and the increase of problem complexity, performance appraisal is getting more and more challenging for engineers to make comprehensive conclusions. However, the existing theoretical results are inadequate for practical reference. The first part of this dissertation is …

A feasibility study of the use of microwaves to measure radical and differential burning rates in solid propellant rockets
… The curved reflective surface did not present a measurement problem. The differential displacement rates were detected by recording the phasor difference of the reflected signals from two spirals. The reflected signals changed in phase relation, if the reflecting surfaces were moving at different …

An investigation into price-quality tradeoffs: the effects of order of presentation and presentation of outlying alternatives
… relationship quality are examined. A measurement problem precluded determination of final reference point as a mediating variable, but the other effects were as predicted by final reference points. Presenting alternatives in a descending order of price and quality resulted in less …

Development and Testing of a Multiplexed Temperature Sensor
… Such a distribution can be obtained by taking measurements at a number of discrete locations on the surface using multiple individual temperature sensors. Because each sensor requires at least two electrical connections, this approach has historically been limited to relatively few temperature …

Vector acoustic miss distance indication
… studies and investigation of the techniques of measurement of shell location currently in use. The decision was made by the author to concentrate on a study of the technique measurements of shell location and the analysis of such measurements in view of the fact that, at least in isolation, …

Route choice responses to variable road user charges and traffic information
… analysing the main SP survey data. The repeated measurement problem in the main survey data is corrected using the jackknife method and Kocur's method. A regression method is used in the analysis of the additional survey data. Some results reveal that Utility Theory was not enough to explain the …

Measuring Perceived Economic Inequality: Implications for Consumer Research and Beyond
… marketing research requires first addressing a measurement problem: researchers in other disciplines (e.g., sociology, psychology, and political science, among others) are not unified in how they define this construct and have developed a wide range of perception-based measures that employ …

Information systems assessment: development of a comprehensive framework and contingency theory to assess the effectiveness of the information systems function.
… include a reexamination of the IS function measurement problem using new frameworks of analyses yielding (a) guidance for the IS manager or executive on which IS measures might best fit their organization, (b) a further verification of the important measures most widely used by IS …

An Indeterminacy-based Local Approach and Ontology for Quantum Theory
… approach. I also argue that ii) the notorious measurement problem can be addressed without modifying the quantum formalism, adding hidden variables, or adopting relationalism. Second, I propose Generative Quantum Theory (GQT) as a new ontology for quantum theories and show how it can be …

Spectroscopic Measurements of Magnetic Field and Electron Density on Wire Array and Laser Plasmas
… of high energy density laboratory plasmas. These measurements are challenging because often the magnetic fields undergo significant spatial and temporal fluctuations. Of the few measurement techniques possible, Zeeman splitting is the most promising option. However, this method has limitations …

Noncontact heart rate measurement via period detection methods of periodic signals
Conventional heart rate measurement techniques, including manual measurement by placing two fingers on the wrist or side of the neck, electrocardiogram (ECG) or pulse oximetry devices require direct physical contact to the subject and this has the potential to cause inconveniences in cases when the …

Characterization of liquid crystal on silicon SLMs for in-situ Raman imaging for quality control of processed lunar regolith
… capabilities of a Raman spectrometer from point measurements to scanning a target surface to evaluate material properties, point mapping, a scanning of the surface with the focused laser, is an essential technology. Focusing and steering a laser for Raman spectroscopy is possible by using Fresnel …

Negative masking and the units problem in audition
… A review of the literature suggests that the problem in defining the JND is twofold. Firstly there is the measurement problem, with specific weighting on two competing measures of the JND: the level difference (ΔL) vs. the Weber fraction (ΔX/X). Deciding between the two measures has proved …
