Mr. Davis said the new regulation imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring corporate chief executives to certify that their companies' books are accurate would "shake things out and stop the drip, drip, drip" of new disclosures of wrongdoing.
We also carried out calibration runs with a highly accurate electromechanical shaking table.
The world number one landed just 40% of her first serves, but was more accurate with her groundstrokes, shaking off the dogged Sharapova in the tie-break.
There's a host of clever connected health ideas: Intel made a smart band that tracks how much patients with Parkinsons shake, collecting more accurate data than with paper and pen; Sonamba monitors daily activities of senior or ill people, to watch for dangerous anomalies; and people with heart disease can use AliveCore to detect abnormal heart rhythms.
Fong's traffic data couldn't be independently verified, but if they're accurate, his new portal could shake up the competition.
A new pilot program led by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory aims to provide earlier and more accurate warnings of damaging ground-shaking from earthquakes and the imminent arrival of tsunamis.
"A number of them believe they did not get a fair shake, but a more accurate assessment of what these individuals are saying suggests it had more to do with favoritism than with race," he said.
In experiments using lactose as the inducer, strains were grown in 50 ml shake cultures, which allowed accurate measurement of mycelial dry weights to determine activity per gram dry weight.
Such methods should result in accurate predictions of response for low-intensity shaking, but their adequacy for extreme shaking that results in highly nonlinear soil, structure or foundation response is unproven.
The scientists said that the warnings likely would begin as underestimates of ground shaking, but would become more accurate as long as the quake continues to grow.
