Sentence examples for specification of zero from inspiring English sources

Specifying a small non-zero measurement error variance for any single indicator (for age, sex, or whatever) is likely to provide less-biased estimates than an obviously-wrong specification of zero measurement error variance, but to consider this carefully one must again consider the causal forces preventing the indicator from precisely tracking the values of the intended latent variable.

The design of the dynamic absorber should involve the specification of three parameters: mass, damping ratio, and tuning frequency.

Experiments and computations led to the specification of three different gels referred to as a spreading gel (SG), an intermediate spreading gel (ISG), and a bolus gel (BG).

In general, this paper demonstrates how the specification of two potential functionals allows derivation of constitutive models that satisfy the Laws of Thermodynamics and at the same time account for many important aspects of soil behavior.

Such mapping satisfies the guidelines for performance-based design (PBD), which requires specification of two sets of spectral amplitudes one for which the structure will remain essentially linear, and the other for which it will undergo a nonlinear response.

A targeted review of relevant serious games precedent and theory is discussed, which informs the specification of three game levels that provide increasing degrees of challenge, choice, collaboration and context.

UHS satisfies the guidelines for performance-based design (PBD), which require specification of two sets of spectral amplitudes, one for which the structure will remain essentially linear, and the other for which it will undergo a nonlinear response.

The design of thermal systems often involves the specification of two conditions, typically both temperature and heat flux distributions on some surfaces or within media to perform particular tasks.

We show that the entire constitutive structure of the material can be reduced to the specification of three scalar functions to model "quasi equilibriated twinning": the Helmholtz free energy potential ψ, the rate of dissipation function ϵ and the activation function g.

This requires the specification of two other probability density functions: 1.

This process starts with the specification of eight photoreceptor cells, followed by cone cells, primary pigments cells and further accessory cells (Fig. 4).
