Sentence examples for accuracy of half from inspiring English sources

(In the preceding century Bradley, who could measure stellar positions only with an accuracy of half a second of arc, had been making a failed attempt to detect stellar parallax when he stumbled instead on the aberration of light).

Fabian concedes that he and his colleagues also can't be sure the faint x-rays really are coming from the cores of the elliptical galaxies; ASCA's positional accuracy of half an arc minute is simply not high enough.

The accuracy of half-sib phasing was high, even with very small family sizes, but with less than 10 half-sibs per family, the number of markers that could be phased decreased (Table  2).

Although the accuracy of the half-life calculated here is limited by the fact that this study is not a longitudinal study, previous reports of the time required for ART to eliminate HIV-1 from patients' bodies are likely to be underestimates.

To address whether these data were due merely to over-fitting of the migration formulas to the spot migration data, we randomly selected half of the cloned spots to be used to derive the migration formulas and measured the accuracy of the other half.

In some earlier studies, increased variability may have been caused by measurement of total radioactivity that included the vitamin D3 dose and all downstream metabolites (predominantly 25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3 and 24,25 OH 2D3), and therefore affected the accuracy of the calculated half-life.

The accuracy of the carboxyprimaquine half-life estimates was limited, and thus, the comparison of AUC0-∞ estimates was unreliable, as most of the carboxyprimaquine AUCs were extrapolated (Fig. 1), and the geometric mean value was biased by three outlying estimates in which over 90% of the AUC was extrapolated (Fig. 2).

Furthermore, the new calibration procedure achieves D-optimal accuracy with half of the calibration time of the widely adopted 24-position calibration procedure.

Only 18percentt of those measured lying down met the criteria of accuracy within half a centimeter.

This increased accuracy required half of the time currently required for chart review at sites, though it increased the time by 50% over the less conservative (85%/95%) LQAS approach.

To ensure consistency and accuracy of data collection, a half-day intensive training session was held for data collectors prior to the collection of data, to be followed by a booster session in year 2. Training consisted of a standardized training guide and protocol including review of the instruments and measurement of infant recumbent length and weight.
