    2.1.3. Guidance for obtaining accurate measurements In practice, strain measurements are usually below a few millistrain. Therefore, the changes in resistance need to be measured accurately. Temperature coefficient of gauge factor is the change of sensitivity of the element to change its length with change in temperature. A fixed resistance in the input leg can be introduced to compensate for it. As a result, the effective supplied voltage increases when temperature increases. This compensates

    Possible Problems with Attempting to Measure Attitudes The question what problems might arise in trying to measure attitudes itself conjures up many complicated questions that seem tricky to answer. The complicated task is that we are all unique and have our individual differences. A basic assumption on measuring attitudes is that ‘a person’s attitude can be measured by asking questions about thoughts, feelings and likely actions toward the attitude object (Hoff

    Investigating how the concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction Chemistry Coursework This experiment is aimed at investigating how the concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction: The reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium will be used to investigate how different concentrations of the acid affect the rate of reaction. The gas produced from the reaction will be measured and used to display the average rate of reaction. The rate of reaction is a measure of how

    participation. This work is very advanced in empirical labor supply studies because of the complete panel data it applies and the method controlling estimations issues it applies, while most studies do not. Those concerns includes endogeneity of wage and measurement errors, especially on observed wage and self-selection. The dataset used in the study is the largest one by then, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), which includes around 1000 fishermen and more than 300 days during1996-2007

    Because the measurements relied on looking through a straw with human naked eye, there is a likelihood that the results are inaccurate due to possible human error/random error. Therefore, assumptions had to be made about the angles of elevation. If the measurements of the angles of elevation were incorrect, it would affect the results, and the determined height of the tree would be inaccurate
