1Calibration curve — In analytical chemistry, a calibration curve is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration.The calibration curve is a plot of …
2Color calibration — The aim of color calibration is to measure and/or adjust the color response of a device (input or output) to a known state. In ICC terms this is the basis for a additional color characterization of the device and later profiling[1]. In non ICC… …
3Measurement microphone calibration — In order to take a scientific measurement with a microphone, its precise sensitivity must be known (in volts per Pascal). Since this may change over the lifetime of the device, it is necessary to regularly calibrate measurement microphones. This… …
4Open Source Physics — Open Source Physics, or OSP, is a project sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Davidson College, whose mission is to spread the use of open source code libraries, tools, and compiled simulations for physics and other numerical… …
5Astro-H — (also known as NeXT for New X ray Telescope) is a planned X ray astronomy satellite under development by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). It is expected to be launched in 2014 into the 550 km height orbit around earth. Launch… …
6Crab Pulsar — The Crab Nebula, which contains the Crab Pulsar. Image combines optical data from Hubble (in red) and X ray images from Chandra (in blue). NASA/CXC/ASU/J. Hester et al.[1] …
7Robotic Lunar Observatory — The Robotic Lunar Observatory, or ROLO, was an astronomical observatory funded by NASA, located at the USGS Flagstaff Field Center in Flagstaff, AZ, atop McMillan Mesa. Its purpose was to establish the Moon as a radiance calibration source for… …
8Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) — ▪ United States satellite a U.S. satellite launched in 2001 and designed to map irregularities in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The CMB was discovered in 1964 when German American physicist Arno Penzias (Penzias, Arno) and… …
9Scattering parameters — or S parameters are properties used in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and communication systems engineering describing the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks when undergoing various steady state stimuli by small… …
10Linux color management — has the same goal as the color management systems (CMS) for other operating systems: to achieve the best possible color reproduction throughout an imaging workflow from its source (camera, video, scanner…), onto imaging software (CinePaint,… …
