BIAS Peak

The results are shown in the form of biases (GMI-CRTM TBs) before (unadjusted) and after (adjusted) applying the RARMA algorithm. The bias histograms seem to appear more similar to a Gaussian distribution in the figure. Eventually, bias exists for all of the GMI channels. Comparatively, a small bias is seen on channel 12, which is in the water vapor absorption line (183.31±3 GHz). One can see that the peak of the distribution for all channels has come closer to zero after applying the RARMA algorithm. This figure should be accompanied with Table 2, which tabulates the resulting mean radiance departures before and after applying the radiometric adjustment procedure. Computed biases seem to vary from one channel to another, which is to be expected. Up to ~5 K bias is observed in some channels, more specifically in channels 3 and 4 (18 GHz). Nevertheless, after applying the RARMA algorithm, a significant bias reduction has been possible. This is evident for all the channels. Given example, the radiance departures for channels 3 and 4 have been reduced to 0.04 and -0.06 K from 3.26 and 5.02 K,…

accurately perform evaluations (Peak et al, 2010). One of the largest failures of supervisors is documentation as many forget to write an officer’s actions down, whether they be bad or good. “No one incident (unless extreme) makes or breaks an evaluation, but it’s the patterns that are created by an officer’s conduct and performance that do” (Murgado, 2012, par. 5). I encourage my Sergeants to do two things to prevent failure to document. First, I suggest each keep a working diary of the…

Direct Cinema, or Cinéma Vérité, presents somewhat of a constant and ongoing paradox as to what a film’s criteria should be. Some say Direct Cinema is a specific style of filmmaking and others will say the complete opposite. This is what makes the genre so interesting because there doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer as to what makes something strictly a Direct Cinema film. Is it something that attempts to be unbiased by showing individual moments that aren’t affected by the camera, or is it…

intellectual growth which is ultimately what we want to accomplish in the classroom” (2011). I plan to thoroughly assess my biases so that I can further assist my students with becoming better readers, writers, and critical thinkers. I was raised in a house hold where my siblings and I were taught to stand up for what we believe in no matter the ridicule we may face as a result of our beliefs. This in turn was the guiding force in my life when it came to dealing with others and now that I am a…

It could be ethical, race, religious bias and or class. The news media is not always honest. The media could be objective about their depictions of the important issues. There are specific issues that are made to look a specific way to benefit a certain group and influence the public opinion. The topics the media spend most quality time on are Government and politics. Very few, if any media outlets today strive to dish out the individuals living in America a balanced report. If important stories…

statements that would not have been labelled as evidence can otherwise become evidence under certain conditions. Note that (3) focuses on the potential principles that can be utilised to make legitimate outcomes in a theory of evidence itself, yet these principles are likely not to be used by scientists. By contrast, (4) states that a theory of evidence should correctly describe the actual uses of evidence and the evidential evaluations of a hypothesis in practice. For example, a theory of…

Over my 26 years of service in the Coast Guard I’ve had the opportunity to serve in many capacities: as a subordinate to service leaders, as a rescuer during search and rescue missions, as a law enforcement officer interdicting the smuggling of illegal narcotics or enforcing federal fisheries regulations and now as a lead engineer responsible for directing others in the maintenance and operation of equipment aboard a 225 feet buoy tender. As rewarding as many of these opportunities have been,…

Testing for technical errors is fairly unemotional, but your summary and conclusions are not. If you do not like an egg, you may search a little harder to find cracks in the shell. This article helps a tester put down his or her prejudices and bias (as much as possible), so that his or her conclusions and summaries are a little fairer. This is partially a motivational piece and partly a lesson in fairness and professionalism. You Have Way Too Much Pride The first obstacle that you (and this…

Maybe we should look beyond that. It is part of our history and was written by men at a time when women did not have equality like there is these days. Women have come so far since then. The Bible is very important to a lot of people and cherished by both men and women. Is it because these women choose to look beyond the bias in order to read and love a book? Most likely, yes! Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Making these changes proves to be ridiculous, somewhat humorous,…

In this way, I would be better able to engage with the family and begin to build a therapeutic alliance. Ignorance of the culture also likely plays a big influence in my own personal biases. As a former military veteran, serving in a conflict involving a culture that was predominantly Muslim, my bias towards the fact that the family is Muslim, evidenced by their use of the Koran, is a reality. In addition to my own personal experience, I am subject to the daily influence of mainstream media…
