Additives and Fillers in Concrete01:29

Additives and Fillers in Concrete

359
Additives and fillers are integral to enhancing the properties of concrete. Pozzolans and blast-furnace slag are additives or admixtures due to their reactions with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration. Fillers, which are finely ground and similar in fineness to Portland cement, improve concrete attributes such as workability density, and reduce capillary bleeding or cracking. Some fillers possess hydraulic properties or participate in benign reactions within the cement paste.

Improving Translational Accuracy

15.0K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

103.1K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Accuracy, limits, and approximation

1.3K
Accuracy, limits, and approximations are common in many fields, especially in engineering calculations. These concepts are imperative for ensuring that a given value is as close as possible to its true value.
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.
The accuracy of any solution is based on the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Using large photo databases for eyewitness lineups may decrease accuracy. Larger databases increase suspect-filler similarity, leading to more false identifications and fewer correct ones, impacting eyewitness reliability.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Eyewitness Identification Research

Background:

  • Police increasingly use facial recognition software and large photo databases for lineup construction.
  • The impact of large filler databases on eyewitness accuracy remains largely unexplored in research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of filler database size on eyewitness identification accuracy.
  • To examine the relationship between algorithmic similarity, database size, and identification outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a facial recognition experiment using filler databases of varying sizes (5,000, 25,000, 125,000 photos).
  • Lineup fillers were selected using facial matching software in a legally realistic manner.
  • Assessed objective similarity between suspects and fillers and analyzed identification accuracy rates.

Main Results:

  • Larger databases were associated with higher suspect-filler similarity and lower overall identification accuracy.
  • In target-present lineups, larger databases reduced correct identifications and increased innocent filler selections.
  • In target-absent lineups, larger databases led to fewer correct rejections and more filler identifications.

Conclusions:

  • Facial matching software used with large photo databases may reduce eyewitness identification accuracy.
  • Filler database size is a significant system variable influencing eyewitness reliability in lineups.
