sun-run-sun : So we now know how to get a single position line from a single sun sight. But we need at least two position lines to get an actual position fix, or position estimate. But there is only one sun, so we have to wait for the sun to move to take another sun sight and get another position line. Ideally, we would take a sun sight in the morning and obtain a position line, and take another sight in the afternoon for a second position line. This will result in two almost perpendicular lines, which will give us the most reliable fix with two lines(the closer the lines are to [being] perpendicular, the less susceptible their crossing point is to error). 3, record 1, English, - sun%2Drun%2Dsun%20method

... blue moon... For half a century, it's been known as the second full moon in a month... But that's wrong... The magazine [Sky & Telescope] incorrectly defined the term 53 years ago. James Hugh Pruett wrote a 1946 piece for the magazine after apparently misinterpreting a complex 1937 article in the Maine Farmer's Almanac that essentially, but not clearly, said a blue moon occurs when a season has four full moons, rather than the usual three. Pruett mistakenly thought it meant having a second full moon within the same month. Pruett's mistake went unnoticed for decades.... Although Sky & Telescope's editors think Pruett's mistake led to the popular modern mis-definition of "blue moon, "it's unclear where the Maine Farmer's Almanac came up with the rule. The almanac is defunct. Pruett died in 1955.... By either definition--Pruett's or the almanac' s--blue moons occur about every two or three years... Although purists may subscribe to the almanac' s point of view, Sinnott thinks Pruett's error will prevail. 5, record 2, English, - blue%20moon

When a month has two full moons the second is known as a "blue" moon, though it only rarely has a blue tint that unusual atmospheric conditions can supply. Occasionally the moon takes on unusual colors, but most often it tends to be reddish, reports Guy Ottewell of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. 6, record 2, English, - blue%20moon

A "fault" is an infraction of the rules of tennis. For instance, by failing to place a serve within the service court in two tries constitutes a service fault or "double fault"; if a ball sails beyond the boundary line, an official will call out "fault"(and not error). An "error" is a more subjective term used to denote any mistake committed by a player that causes him or her to lose the point. Note however that the term "error" is used in statistics, e. g. number of unforced errors. The generic term "mistake" is non-specific to tennis. 2, record 5, English, - error

Transport correction. Much of the error due to the diffusion approximation comes from the assumption of isotopic scattering.(This assumption is necessary to reach the simple form of the integral transport [and] was also made to establish Fick's law when we assume that when a neutron leaving dV had probability d2 omega/4[ pi] of hitting dS where d2 omega was the solid angle under which dS is seen from the point of emission). The transport correction established from the differential form of the transport operator can compensate for most of this error. Because it is simple to introduce, it is always used in practice. It consists of replacing the total cross-section [sigma] with the so-called “transport” cross-section in the expression for the diffusion of the coefficient. 1, record 6, English, - %20transport%20correction

Les produits standard de RADARSAT générés par le Centre canadien de traitement des données sont traités en utilisant une altitude de zéro mètre (c'est-à-dire au niveau de la mer). De plus, un délai est introduit dans la rétrodiffusion du signal par le RTP. Puisque le radar à synthèse d'ouverture (RSO) est un système utilisant la distance, ce délai d'environ 1,8 microseconde produit un déplacement de la réplique du transpondeur à une distance plus grande (distance mesurée à partir du capteur). 3, record 9, French, - erreur%20de%20localisation%20absolue

Australia and New Zealand commemorate the ANZAC Day public holiday on April 25 every year to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps(ANZAC), and of all those who served their country. ANZAC Day is also a public holiday in Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga. The ANZAC tradition began in World War I with a landing on 25 April, 1915 near Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast. Because of a navigational error, the ANZACs came ashore about a mile north of the intended landing point. Instead of facing the expected beach and gentle slope they found themselves at the bottom of steep cliffs, offering the few Turkish defenders an ideal defensive position. Establishing a foothold, the Anzacs found an advance to be impossible. After eight months of stalemate the Allies withdrew, leaving 10, 000 dead amongst the ANZACs and over 33, 000 British dead. 1, record 10, English, - ANZAC%20Day

The propensity, often unconscious, to search for, assemble, present, or use evidence in such a manner as to point to a preselected endproduct or conclusion. Bias does not of necessity lead to error, since it may be anticipated and allowed for by employing adjusting or weighting devices, or ostensibly inaccurate results may be interpreted or cross-checked in a variety of ways. 2, record 11, English, - bias
Record number: 11, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is possible to extract evidence and synthesize an objective and valid picture even when employing biased or potentially biased sources of information. A principal objective in the process of auditing is the search for and correction of biases. An auditor determines the presence or lack of bias in a group of accounts receivable by circularizing persons against whom claims are held. Offsetting biases are regularly taken advantage of in the construction of "internal controls". By the operation of a normally patterned system of "internal check", valid results are deemed to follow by placing individuals with independent, opposing interests in opposition to each other and making them participants in the recording of the same transaction. The assumption underlying any such device is that the offsetting biases are of the same relative order of magnitude. 2, record 11, English, - bias

[...] l'erreur de convergence des méridiens est produite par le fait que les lignes de longitude (méridiens) convergent en s'approchant des pôles. En supposant que l'axe de rotation d'un gyroscope directionnel (D.G.) soit aligné sur un méridien en un point donné de la terre, et puis qu'on le transporte en un endroit différent autre que vers le nord ou le sud, l'axe de ce dernier restera aligné sur le méridien d'origine, vue sa propriété de demeurer fixe dans l'espace. Donc on peut voir qu'à cause de la convergence des méridiens, un gyroscope ne peut demeurer aligné sur le méridien de destination. L'angle formé entre l'axe de rotation du gyroscope (D.G.) et le méridien de destination est appelé «erreur de convergence des méridiens». 2, record 18, French, - erreur%20due%20%C3%A0%20la%20convergence%20des%20m%C3%A9ridiens

On utilise une représentation plane de la terre ou projection afin : de représenter sur une surface plane une partie d'un modèle ellipsoïdal de la surface de la terre. [...] Dans la plupart des projections, le Nord de la projection n'indique pas la direction du pôle Nord géographique. On introduit alors la notion de convergence des méridiens définie comme suit : la convergence des méridiens en un point est le gisement de l'image (dans la projection) du méridien qui passe par ce point. 3, record 18, French, - erreur%20due%20%C3%A0%20la%20convergence%20des%20m%C3%A9ridiens
