Since many real-world engineering systems are too complex to be defined in precise terms, imprecision is often involved in any engineering design process.
This method is highly specific, sensible (limit of quantification = 0.05 mg/L), and precise (total imprecision, calculated by measuring the coefficient of variation (CV) of the internal quality control values was less than 10% for concentrations from 0.20 to 5.00 mg/L).
The grandeur of his words — phrased with such care, and with such precise attention to imprecision, that you could find nothing on which to pin him down, let alone to quibble with — was rendered all the more impressive by the setting.
It is extremely moving, a precise book about the imprecision of memory and how it constructs people, stories and histories.
Tony Webster is forced to revise his own memories, and the stories he tells about himself, when he discovers an act of cruelty towards his friends that he committed many years before: "What you end up remembering isn't always the same as what you have witnessed". It is extremely moving, a precise book about the imprecision of memory and how it constructs people, stories and histories.
The method required minimal sample preparation and was accurate (mean error=6%), precise (intra- and interday imprecision <8%), and sensitive (limit of detection=0.06pmol).
But the fuzziness and imprecision is precisely why that is such an important aspect of mathematics in an era where the rule-based, precise part is done by machines.
Likewise, the lower molar rotation imprecision was significantly more precise than the lower incisor rotation.
Scales became increasingly less precise as weight load increased; however, imprecision as a percent of total weight test load was inversely related to weight load.
In the lower arch, on the other hand, the least precision was recorded for premolar rotation (imprecision, 5.4° ± 5.8°), while the most precise movement was vestibulolingual tipping of the molars (imprecision, 1.3° ± 0.9°).
