Summary
Author name correction: M. Kumi is the given name, and Smith is the family name. This correction ensures accurate author attribution in scientific literature. Proper identification is crucial for citation and impact tracking.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Scholarly Communication
Background:
- Accurate author identification is fundamental in scientific publishing.
- Misattribution can impact citation counts and research integrity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct an error in author name attribution in a previously published article.
- To ensure the correct family name (Smith) and given name (M. Kumi) are associated with the author.
Main Methods:
- Review of publication records.
- Correction request submitted to the publisher.
Main Results:
- The author's family name has been corrected to Smith.
- The author's given name has been confirmed as M. Kumi.
Conclusions:
- Accurate author data is essential for the scientific record.
- Prompt correction of errors maintains the integrity of scholarly databases.

01:15Distance Corrections
285
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

3.1K
Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...

01:25Antibody Structure and Classes
8.5K
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are produced by B cells in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. These proteins are critical for recognizing and neutralizing these substances, protecting the body from potential harm.
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.

01:12Relative Risk
2.1K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

01:21Sample Preparation for Analysis: Overview
3.5K
Sample preparation is an essential step in the analytical process. It involves preparing a sample so that it can be analyzed accurately. The goal is to extract the analyte, the substance you want to measure, from the sample while removing any components that may interfere with the analysis. Sample preparation techniques vary depending on the physical state of the sample.
