Errors and Corrections in Mathematics Literature
نویسنده
چکیده
T he veracity of scientific research has become a topic of public discussion recently [1]. This article examines why mathematicians correct errors at a slower pace than many other researchers (see Figure 1). Some sociological aspects of mathematics research may make mathematicians averse to publishing corrections, while mathematics journals have comparatively weak procedures to assure the correctness of the literature.

Improvement in Differential GPS Accuracy using Kalman Filter
Global Positioning System (GPS) is proven to be an accurate positioning sensor. However, there are several sources of errors such as ionosphere and troposphere effects, satellite time errors, errors of orbit data, receivers errors, and errors resulting from multi-path effect which reduce the accuracy of low-cost GPS receivers. These sources of errors also limit the use of single-frequency GPS r...
متن کاملAccuracy of the dose delivery in prostate cancer patients-using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID)
Background: To correct patient positioning errors (setup errors) during prostate cancer treatment using EPID and fiducial gold markers, to improve the accuracy of the dose delivery in these patients. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with localized prostate carcinoma after implantation of fiducial gold markers in their prostate gland underwent the five-field IMRT planning technique. The p...

The purpose of this paper is to study and give the necessary andsufficient condition of strong convergence of the multi-step iterative algorithmwith errors for a finite family of generalized asymptotically quasi-nonexpansivemappings to converge to common fixed points in Banach spaces. Our resultsextend and improve some recent results in the literature (see, e.g. [2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8,11, 14, 19]).

متن کاملMeasurement of the immobilisation efficacy of a head fixation system
Background: In order to assign appropriate planning target volume (PTV) margins, each centre should measure the patient positioning deviations for their set-up techniques. At the Royal Marsden Hospital, UK, a conformal shell (cast) system is used when a stereotactic frame is not suitable. In this paper, we report on a series of measurements with the aim of obtaining the systematic and random ...
