Most important are the frequent pictures of earth’s cloud cover in the visible, IR and water vapour channels obtained from Geostationary meteorological satellites together with the capability of generating a number of quantitative products from these data. R&D efforts of last several years at the Cooperative Institute of Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), Wisconsin University, USA have culminated into development of an Advanced Dvorak’s Technique (ADT) for automatic analysis of Tropical Cyclones. It is in operational use for analysis of North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea cyclones. It has been used on experimental basis at Satellite Meteorology Center, IMD while the conventional Dvorak Technique (DT) works well over the Indian seas, experience of using ADT does not permit at present its use on operational basis over our region. R&D efforts of last several years at CIMSS have also resulted in lot of improvements in the Quantitative products derived from the satellite data. These products have certainly improved the analysis of TC and have provided useful information for predicting the future intensity/movement of TCs. Quality of currently operational products from Indian satellite data is limited by the coarser resolution of the instruments. With the availability of much better quality of data from the new satellite of INSAT series from year (2013) onward there is a good possibility of making further improvements in the quality of products. Data obtained from microwave based instruments also provides useful additional information for TC analysis. The warm core anomaly in the upper troposphere is a useful indicator of the TC intensity.

As part of the implementation of its strategic plan, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has increasingly studied the issue of using alternative data to improve both the quality of its data and the process by which those data are collected. The plan includes the goal of integrating alternative data into BLS programs. This article describes the framework used by the BLS Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) program and the potential these data hold for complementing data collected in traditional formats. It also addresses some of the challenges BLS faces when using alternative data and the complementary role that alternative data play in improving the quality of data currently collected. Alternative data can substitute for what is presently being collected from respondents and provide additional information to supplement the variables the CE program produces or to adjust the CE program’s processing and weighting procedures.

Abstract To better understand the impacts of climate change, environmental monitoring capabilities must be enhanced by deploying additional and more accurate satellite- and ground-based (including in situ) sensors. In addition, reanalysis of observations collected decades ago but long forgotten can unlock precious information about the recent past. Historical, in situ observations mainly cover densely inhabited areas and frequently traveled routes. In contrast, large selections of early meteorological satellite data, waiting to be exploited today, provide information about remote areas unavailable from any other source. When initially collected, these satellite data posed great challenges to transmission and archiving facilities. As a result, data access was limited to the main teams of scientific investigators associated with the instruments. As archive media have aged, so have the mission scientists and other pioneers of satellite meteorology, who sometimes retired in possession of unique and unpublished information. This paper presents examples of recently recovered satellite data records, including satellite imagery, early infrared hyperspectral soundings, and early microwave humidity soundings. Their value for climate applications today can be realized using methods and techniques that were not yet available when the data were first collected, including efficient and accurate observation simulators and data assimilation into reanalyses. Modern technical infrastructure allows serving entire mission datasets online, enabling easy access and exploration by a broad range of users, including new and old generations of climate scientists.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThe SAIL databank brings together a range of datasets gathered primarily for administrative rather than research processes. These datasets contain information regarding different aspects of an individual’s contact with services which when combined form a detailed health record for individuals living (or deceased) in Wales. Understanding the quality of data in SAIL supports the research process by providing a level of assurance about the robustness of data, identifying and describing where there may be sources of potential bias due to invalid, incomplete, inconsistent or inaccurate data and therefore helping to increase the accuracy of research using these data. Designing processes to investigate and report on data quality within and between multiple datasets can be a time-consuming task to undertake; it requires a high degree of effort to ensure it is genuinely meaningful and useful to SAIL users and may require a range of different approaches. ApproachData quality tests for each dataset were written, considering a range of data quality dimensions including validity, consistency, accuracy and completeness. Tests were designed to capture not just the quality of data within each dataset, but also to assess consistency of data items between datasets. SQL scripts were written to test each of these aspects: in order to minimise repetition, automated processes were implemented where appropriate. Batch automation was used to called SQL stored procedures, which utilise metadata to generate dynamic SQL. The metadata (created as part of the data quality process) describes each dataset and the measurement parameters used to assess each field within the dataset. However automation on its own is insufficient and data quality process outputs require scrutiny and oversight to ensure they are actually capturing what they set out to do. SAIL users were consulted on the development of the data quality reports to ensure usability and appropriateness to support data utilisation for research. ResultsThe data quality reporting process is beneficial to the SAIL databank as it provides additional information to support the research process and in some cases may act as a diagnostic tool, detecting problems with data which can then be rectified. ConclusionThe development of data quality processes in SAIL is ongoing, and changes or developments in each dataset lead to new requirements for data quality measurement and reporting. A vital component of the process is the production of output that is genuinely meaningful and useful.

In the past, consumers looked for information about quality of products and services with family members, friends, vendors, and experts. Currently, this reality is changing, and the number of consumers using Internet to find this kind of information is increasing, but not only to obtain additional information about a specific product, but to compare its features with other similar products. However, Internet provides a considerable amount of information through high volume of commercial sites, making the search for really useful information costly and difficult. Recommender systems are a Web social based process, performed by ordinary people, where users want to describe their degree of appreciation about items (products, services or people) based on their personal experience. This chapter proposes a framework for designing Web recommender systems that combine a meta-search engine and a data clustering strategy for product evaluation, enabling consumers to decide which products should be chosen.

Discusses the use of photographs from spacecraft to determine various kinds of features, based on experiences with Nimbus I during Aug-Sept 1964. Advanced Vidicon Camera System photographs of sea and glacier ice in Canada, Greenland, and the Antarctic are shown; and the nature and quality of data yielded are considered. The striking pattern of sunlight and shadows resulting from low sun angle near the poles is noted, also a method for estimating heights of peaks, glacier slopes, etc from length of the shadows. Surface temperatures and snow and ice emissivities in the Antarctic were determined from High Resolution Infra-Red photographs.

Introduction In electron microscopic investigations of crystalline specimens the direct observation of the electron diffraction pattern gives additional information about the specimen. The quality of this information depends on the quality of the crystals or the crystal area contributing to the diffraction pattern. By selected area diffraction in a conventional electron microscope, specimen areas as small as 1 µ in diameter can be investigated. It is well known that crystal areas of that size which must be thin enough (in the order of 1000 Å) for electron microscopic investigations are normally somewhat distorted by bending, or they are not homogeneous. Furthermore, the crystal surface is not well defined over such a large area. These are facts which cause reduction of information in the diffraction pattern. The intensity of a diffraction spot, for example, depends on the crystal thickness. If the thickness is not uniform over the investigated area, one observes an averaged intensity, so that the intensity distribution in the diffraction pattern cannot be used for an analysis unless additional information is available.

One goal in electron microscopy of biological specimens is to improve the quality of data to equal the resolution capabilities of modem transmission electron microscopes. Radiation damage and beam- induced movement caused by charging of the sample, low image contrast at high resolution, and sensitivity to external vibration and drift in side entry specimen holders limit the effective resolution one can achieve. Several methods have been developed to address these limitations: cryomethods are widely employed to preserve and stabilize specimens against some of the adverse effects of the vacuum and electron beam irradiation, spot-scan imaging reduces charging and associated beam-induced movement, and energy-filtered imaging removes the “fog” caused by inelastic scattering of electrons which is particularly pronounced in thick specimens.Although most cryoholders can easily achieve a 3.4Å resolution specification, information perpendicular to the goniometer axis may be degraded due to vibration. Absolute drift after mechanical and thermal equilibration as well as drift after movement of a holder may cause loss of resolution in any direction.

The accuracy in administering the diagnosis code was the important matter for medical recorder, quality of data was the most important thing for health information management of medical recorder. This study aims to know the coder competency for accuracy and precision of using ICD 10 at X Hospital in Pekanbaru. This study was a qualitative method with case study implementation from five informan. The result show that medical personnel (doctor) have never received a training about coding, doctors writing that hard and difficult to read, failure for making diagnoses code or procedures, doctor used an usual abbreviations that are not standard, theres still an officer who are not understand about the nomenclature and mastering anatomy phatology, facilities and infrastructure were supported for accuracy and precision of the existing code. The errors of coding always happen because there is a human error. The accuracy and precision in coding very influence against the cost of INA CBGs, medical and the committee did most of the work in the case of severity level III, while medical record had a role in monitoring or evaluation of coding implementation. If there are resumes that is not clearly case mix team check file needed medical record the result the diagnoses or coding for conformity. Keywords: coder competency, accuracy and precision of coding, ICD 10
