TOTAL CORRECTION [11 records]

Record 1 2013-12-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Mole fraction, or mixing ratio, is the ratio of the number of moles of a constituent in a given volume to the total number of moles of all constituents in that volume.... Mole fraction differs from volume mixing ratio, often expressed in ppmv [part per million in volume], etc., by the corrections for non-ideality of gases. This correction is significant relative to measurement precision for many greenhouse gases...

CONT

La fraction molaire, ou rapport de mélange, est le rapport du nombre de moles d’un composant dans un volume donné au nombre total de moles de tous les composants dans ce volume. [...] La fraction molaire diffère du rapport de mélange au volume, souvent exprimé en ppmv [partie par million en volume], etc., par les corrections de la non-idéalité des gaz. Cette correction est significative par rapport à la précision des mesures pour de nombreux gaz à effet de serre [...]

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.

Correction de transport. Éliminer [oméga] des équations est évidemment une simplification incontestable! Mais a-t-on le droit de supposer que les neutrons sortent des collisions de façon isotrope? Ce n’est évidemment pas exact en toute rigueur, mais on constate qu’en général l’erreur due à cette hypothèse est peu importante, surtout si l’on fait une correction dite de transport consistant à remplacer la section efficace totale [oméga indice t], par la section efficace de transport […]

Patients with neurological dislocation of the hips presented with pain, problems with gait, decreased range of motion and poor sitting status... 40 patients with hip osteotomy were studied, with minimal follow-up of two years... Correction of the femoral neck angle and acetabular coverage was documented and, on latest follow-up, a total of 85 % of the hips were reduced...

The annual aberration is the aberration correction for an imaginary observer at the Earth's centre. The motion of a real observer around the Earth's rotation axis in the course of the day makes a small extra contribution to the total aberration effect called the diurnal aberration.

... measurements of photosynthesis give only the apparent or net photosynthesis, which is total or gross photosynthesis minus the amount of carbon dioxide produced or food used in respiration or translocated to other organs. Attempts to calculate gross total photosynthesis by adding a correction for respiration are complicated by uncertainty as to whether respiration occurs at the same rate in light and darkness.
