Porsche's transmission has a gear-ratio range wider than those in any competitor's automatic, with a numerical ratio spread between first and seventh gears of just over 10 to one.
The Numerical, Unit, Spread, Assessment and Pedigree (NUSAP) system [ 27, 65, 66] is another method to assess data quality.
The framework is based on but modifies and integrates the notion of the "cascade of uncertainties" and the NUSAP Numeral Unit Spread Assessment Pedigreee) methodology to include the overarching assessment categories of Numerical Value, Spread, Depth and Substantiation.
In summary, three types of techniques can be used for analysing uncertainties in the IEHM programmes: (i) Data quality assessment: Methods (e.g., Aguila tool [ 72], the Numerical, Unit, Spread, Assessment and Pedigree (NUSAP) system [ 73, 74]) for a data quality assessment can be used to deal with the quantitative uncertainty, by evaluating whether data are fit for purpose.
The numerical results demonstrate SPREAD capability to quickly predict reliable values of aero-propulsive balance (i.e., net-thrust) and aerodynamic efficiency in a pre-design phase.
The Grand Design stated a numerical target for "spreading the use of electronic medical records (EMR) in at least 60% of Japan's hospitals with 400 or more beds by 2006".
We have moreover investigated the use of such surrogate contact data in numerical simulations of spreading processes in a population.
A numerical model for flame spread over polymeric surfaces is constructed.
The data obtained may be used for developing and validating a numerical model of flame spread over PMMA surface.
An important factor in the move to seven and more gears is the transmission's ratio spread — the numerical relationship between first and top gear (called the overall ratio spread), or between adjacent gears — for instance, third and fourth gears.
