Distinguishing Two Dimensions of Uncertainty
Barack Obama made one of the most difficult decisions of his presidency: launch an attack on a compound in Pakistan that intelligence agents suspected was the home of Osama bin Laden. In an interview Obama described the raid as the longest 40 minutes of his life. He attributed that tension to two sources. First, he was not certain that bin Laden was actually residing in the compound. " As outst...
متن کاملDistinguishing Land Change from Natural Variability and Uncertainty in Central Mexico with MODIS EVI, TRMM Precipitation, and MODIS LST Data
Precipitation and temperature enact variable influences on vegetation, impacting the type and condition of land cover, as well as the assessment of change over broad landscapes. Separating the influence of vegetative variability independent and discrete land cover change remains a major challenge to landscape change assessments. The heterogeneous Lerma-Chapala-Santiago watershed of central Mexi...
متن کاملUncertainty in Distinguishing between Structure andOrnamentation in
The paper focuses on the uncertainty inherent in the ornamentation/structure pair and on the role of uncertainty in characterizing style. We suggest that the ornamentation/structure pair be viewed as "complementary opposites" that fullll three conditions: contradiction, support and identiication. In computer simulations we perform a detailed harmonic analysis of a Prelude by J.S.Bach and sugges...
متن کاملDistinguishing lateral interaction from uncertainty reduction in collinear flanker effect on contrast discrimination.
To clarify the role of lateral interaction and uncertainty reduction in collinear flanker facilitation of contrast discrimination, we investigated the effect of flankers and spatial cueing on the contrast discrimination threshold. The task of the observers was to detect a 1.3 cyc/deg vertical Gabor target superimposed on one of the Gabor pedestals presented at 3 degrees to the left and right of...
متن کاملQuantifying Geoacoustic Uncertainty and Seabed Variability for Propagation Uncertainty
Propagation and reverberation of acoustic fields in shallow waters depend strongly on the spatial variability of seabed geoacoustic parameters, and lack of knowledge of seabed variability is often a limiting factor in acoustic modeling applications. However, direct sampling (e.g., coring) of vertical and lateral variability is expensive and laborious, and matched-field and other long-range inve...
