Responsibly Emboldening Predictions via Boldness-Recalibration
… assess calibration, and a strategy for boldness-recalibration that enables practitioners to responsibly embolden predictions subject to their required level of calibration. Specifically, we allow the user to pre-specify their desired posterior probability of calibration, then maximally embolden …

Redesign and recalibration of a bubble-cap column used in the fractionation of isopropanol-water solutions
The purpose of this investigation was to improve upon the overall design of a 15-plate fractionating assembly used in the separation of simple binary mixtures of isopropyl alcohol and water, to recalibrate all measuring devices used in the operation of the column, to develop an analytical method by …

Storage of and recovery from the motion aftereffect : evidence for a dual process involving fatigue and recalibration
… which stem from the traditional fatigue and the recalibration models. To investigate this question, this series of experiments examined the most difficult challenge to the conventional fatigue interpretation, that is, the storage of the motion aftereffect. In Experiment 1, MAE duration was …

Assessing the Recalibration Interval for Nearshore Sediment Assemblages after Hurricane Irma: implications for Developing Long-term Records of Overwash Deposits
… time period assessed by this study. Post-event recalibration intervals will vary based on site and event, however, our results suggest that a waiting period of at least 18 months is recommended before collecting surface sediment samples from nearshore environments offshore Anegada.</p>

Policy responses to partnered women outside the labour market: What can Britain learn from Australia and Denmark?
… programmes to Britain. The concept of ‘welfare recalibration’ (Ferrera and Hemerijck, 2003) and its four sub-dimensions (functional, distributive, normative, politico-institutional) is used both as a theoretical basis, as well as a framework for the analysis. It is argued that the normative …

Development of prediction models for cardiovascular disease risk in China
… CHD and stroke) in different regions of China. Recalibration, an approach to adapt risk scores to local contemporary circumstances, would be of potential benefit to reflect the diversity of CVD epidemiology across China. This thesis aimed to construct a CVD risk estimation system, which is …

Software reliability prediction : a multi-modelling approach
… inaccurate predictions via a process of recalibration. The demonstrated success of the recalibration technique suggests that it may be possible to apply fairly simple models, for example nonparametric models, and to achieve reliability predictions which are as accurate as those which …

Software reliability prediction
… Firstly, we examine a technique called 'recalibration' by means of which many existing software reliability prediction algorithms assess past predictive performance in order to improve the accuracy of current reliability predictions. This existing technique for forecasting future failure …

Evaluating and enhancing cardiovascular disease risk prediction with algorithmic fairness
… a post-processing sex-and-ethnicity-specific recalibration method is proposed. My evaluations demonstrate how targeted recalibration can reduce disparities, enhancing the fairness and accuracy of CVD risk prediction in diverse subgroups. Beyond model-level fairness, a novel analysis …

A multiplier phototube thickness indicator
… type of tissue when coating would necessitate recalibration of the multiplier phototube thickness indicator every time a different type of tissue was used. The multiplier phototube detects changes in density in a moving web of paper. This property can be useful in monitoring the thickness of …

Development, manufacture and application of a solid-state pH sensor using ruthenium oxide
… its relatively large size, fragility, need for recalibration and wet-storage. Therefore, much research has been undertaken on the use of metal oxides as an alternative for the measurement of pH. Here, a solid-state potentiometric pH sensor is developed using ruthenium metal oxide (RuO2). …

Self-Training and Calibration for Learning with Limited Data
… This thesis explores how the addition of a recalibration step during self-training to adjust the confidence scores before they are used to select samples can improve the results of self-training. Performing experiments on natural language processing data revealed that combining self-training …

Meeting and Minding: early interactions and learning who we are
… minding, the continuing sharing, negotiation and recalibration of attitudes and meanings, allows us to negotiate the dynamic tensions inherent in our similarities and differences. My work offers a perspective on belonging and performance that can inform our efforts to support infants’ …

Multi-path Penalty metric in underwater acoustic communication for autonomy and human decision-making
… success is evaluated, resulting in a proposed recalibration for MAE. The AUV’s ability to communicate when adaptively choosing its depth is analyzed above and below the Beaufort Lens, and settings for MPP’s engineering variables are obtained. The results show MPP generally improves reception …
