The performance of the sensor is deteriorated by three major sources: fabrication errors, scattered environmental light, and inexact modeling of photodiodes.
However, he was disappointed in the weak dialogue and the grammatical errors scattered throughout the book, especially the inclusion of "glaringly out-of-place world" words, thus having too many anachronism in the book.
There are some typos errors scattered in the manuscript.
Although NGS platforms have an apparently high accuracy, the sheer quantity of data means that getting 0.01% of the human genome wrong would correspond to 300 000 errors scattered along the 3 billion base pairs.
Notice here that we use this rule to characterize the movement across different contexts and expect changes in the slope; intercept and error (scatter) as a function of context, effort, fatigue etc.
The main sources of error are scattering and absorption of light from the beam and beam wander due to turbulence.
To explore the sensitivity of our model and fitting technique to uncertainties in tissue optical properties, we simulated the effects of a 10% error in scattering coefficient on fit parameters "a" and 'b" for 200 micron thick lesions at three different depths for our phantom-like and skin-like models.
As expected, the simulated time-series with error type C has a greater IQR than the base case since this error is scattered about the true values, and the simulated time-series with error type B has a lower IQR than the base case since this error is scattered about the simulated values.
Furthermore, gamma-prompt events outside the phantom were considered as object-scattered events, which increased the error on scattered event estimation with SSS correction.
Investigation of the optical losses from the parabolic sides of the concentrator shows that, the imperfect parabolic surface caused by machining error results in scattering with a fraction of light escaping from the parabolic side instead of reflecting back to the receiver for all angles of incidence.
