The phrase "approaches the reference" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where something is getting closer to a specific standard, point, or source of information.
Example: "As the experiment progressed, the results gradually approaches the reference values established in previous studies."
Alternatives: "nears the reference" or "gets closer to the reference".
The original PTOS switches from the nonlinear approximation of Time Optimal Control (TOC) to a linear controller as the system approaches the reference point.
Based on the Kalman Filter methodology, in which distributed uncertain model results are corrected by assimilating measurement data from a reference system, the ES incorporates uncertain parameter values, associated model results, and measurement data into an update algorithm to provide an updated, corrected model state that approaches the reference system state.
The results clearly show that the error in range estimation is significantly reduced when the node approaches the reference R4.
Reconstructions were calculated using three different approaches: the reference measurement correction (RM), the approximation error using first order statistics (EM-1), and the approximation error using second order statistics (EM-2).
Peak knee flexion during landing increased from 44 degrees before training to 48 degrees after training and approached the reference group with a mean peak knee flexion during landing of 49 degrees.
As the closed loop system approaches the desired reference, the value of the damping ratio gets increased with an aim to reducing the overshoot and the settling time.
The plotted point-clouds fall into slightly scattered lines and the linear regressions are approaching the targeted reference (i.e. y= x).
None of the systemic doses estimated in this study approached the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reference dose for glyphosate of 2 mg/kg/day.
Thus, compared with the other approaches, the reference-free method may demonstrate superiority in identifying biologically relevant alterations of DNA methylation in highly heterogeneous tumor samples.
Judgement bias is then evaluated by measuring the latency to approach both the reference locations and intermediate positions.
The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Office raised concerns about the rail project in March and, in its typical understated way, said this about the initial operating segment: "Ending [it] in an unpopulated agricultural area does not appear to be an effective approach". The reference is to a farm field near the tiny town of Shafter.
