IMPACT BIAS [7 records]

Record 1 2024-08-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
CONT

The impact bias refers to our tendency to overestimate the intensity and duration of our emotional reactions to future circumstances. This occurs when we incorrectly predict how severely an event will impact our emotional state, imagining a stronger and more lasting emotional impact than we actually experience.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
CONT

Biais d'impact : Il peut survenir lorsqu'un individu surestime l'intensité et la durée des émotions qu'il vivra face à un évènement.

Record 3 2012-04-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
CONT

Impact ionization and avalanche multiplication of electrons and holes in the presence of a large electric field. The excess energy is given off to generate an electron-hole pair through a band-to-band transition. This generation process causes avalanche multiplication in semiconductor diodes under high reverse bias : As one carrier accelerates in the electric field it gains energy. The kinetic energy is given off to an electron in the valence band, thereby creating an electron-hole pair. The resulting two electrons can create two more electrons which generate four more causing an avalanche multiplication effect. Electrons as well as holes contribute to avalanche multiplication.

DEF

One of 10 Cochrane Methods Groups world-wide comprised of individuals with an interest and expertise in the science of systematic reviews.

OBS

The Reporting Bias Group focuses on the epidemiology of results and outcomes; that is, the characteristics of primary study results and their distribution within and outside the literature.... The Reporting Bias Methods Group investigates a range of different forms of bias, such as publication bias, language bias, and outcome variable bias, and examines whether, and in which circumstances, these biases may have a substantial impact on systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Le Groupe de méthodologie sur les préjugés se penche sur l’épidémiologie des résultats et des aboutissements, c’est-à dire les particularités des résultats d’une étude initiale et leur distribution par écrit ou autre. [...] Le Groupe de méthodologie sur les préjugés étudie les préjugés sous plusieurs formes, comme les préjugés de publication, les préjugés linguistiques, et les préjugés d’aboutissement. Il examine ces préjugés dans le but de déterminer s’ils ont un effet important, et dans quelles circonstances, sur les revues systématiques et les méta-analyses.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
  • Ship Piloting
  • Navigation Instruments
CONT

Where positioning accuracy is concerned, it may seem surprising that the accuracy provided by the gyros has more impact than that of the accelerometers... This is due to the fact that navigation in fact occurs on a sphere, the Earth. It will therefore be readily understood that traveling along a straight line on the Earth comes down in fact to a rotation, and that rotation is detected by the gyros. In practice, gyros are subject to a zero-error known as gyro bias : When there is no rotation, a gyro should indicate zero, but in fact measures something that is the bias value. When an inertial navigation system is immobile, the gyros measure bias values that are integrated by the calculator and the unit thinks that it is rotating, and therefore advancing across the surface of the terrestrial globe, which generates a position error. It will be understood that position error shows linear growth over time and there is a direct relationship between the accuracy of a gyro and position drift.

Key term(s)
  • zero error

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne

  • Pilotage des navires
  • Instruments de navigation
CONT

Les erreurs de mesure des gyromètres laser peuvent être représentées par des modèles mathématiques beaucoup plus simples que ceux intervenant dans l'étude des gyromètres classiques. Cela résulte essentiellement de l'insensibilité des gyromètres laser aux accélérations. La description de l'erreur d'un gyromètre laser fait intervenir : a) une erreur de zéro, due à des différences de propriétés physiques pour les ondes circulant en sens inverse dans le mélange gazeux ionisé; [...] b) une erreur imputable au blocage [...] c) une erreur de facteur d'échelle [...]

CONT

Performances et précisions des mesures (gyroscopes et gyromètres) [...] erreurs de zéro : nécessite un recalage par GPS toutes les 30 h .
