In this paper presents an accurate AFM used that is free from the Z-directional distortion of a servo actuator is described. Two mathematical correction methods by the in-situ self-calibrationare employed in this AFM. One is the method by the integration, and the other is the method by inverse function of the calibration curve. The in situ self-calibration method by the integration, the derivative of the calibration curve function of the PZT actuator is calculated from the profile measurement data sets which are obtained by repeating measurements after a small Z-directional shift. Input displacement at each sampling point is approximately estimated first by using a straight calibration line. The derivative is integrated with reference to the approximate input to obtain the approximate calibration curve. Then the approximation of the input value of each sampling point is improved using the obtained calibration curve. Next the integral of the derivative is improved using the newly estimated input values. As a result of repeating these improving process, the calibration curve converges to the correct one, and the distortion of the AFM image can be corrected. In the in situ self-calibration through evaluating the inverse function of the calibration curve, the profile measurement data sets were used during the data processing technique. Principles and experimental results of the two methods are presented.

A calibration curve is needed to determine the SBR and BR blend ratio of SBR/BR blend rubber compounds using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass chromatography (Py-GC/MS) or Py-GC. In general, a calibration curve is obtained using reference SBR/BR vulcanizates with various blend ratios. In this study, the calibration curves were obtained using reference samples made of rubber solutions and were compared to those plotted using the reference SBR/BR vulcanizates. Calibration curves using variations of 1,3-butadiene/styrene, 4-vinylcyclohexene (VCH)/styrene, 2-phenylpropene (PhP)/butadiene, PhP/VCH, 4-phenylcyclohexene (PhCH)/butadiene, and PhCH/VCH ratios with the BR content were examined for the suitability. We found that the calibration curves obtained using the mixed rubber solution references (1,3-butadiene/styrene and PhP/butadiene) could replace those constructed using the reference SBR/BR vulcanizates. The calibration curves of 1,3-butadiene/styrene and PhP/butadiene obtained using the raw references can be used for the determination of the SBR/BR blend ratios by applying some correction factors.

Since the recorded information used for operation of a catchment modelling system contain errors that influence the calibration of catchment modelling system control parameter values, the accurate estimation of these parameters is difficult. Despite these influences, existing traditional calibration approaches focus only on achieving the best "curve fitting" between simulated and recorded data, and not on generic evaluation of control parameter values. This paper introduces an Early Stopping Technique which is aimed at avoiding the procedure of curve-fitting through monitoring improvements in the objective function used for assessing the optimal parameter set. Application of this approach to the calibration of SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) on the Centennial Park catchment in Sydney, Australia is outlined. outlined.

Linear and non-linear regressions were used to derive the calibration function for the measurement of roxithromycin plasma concentration. Their results were compared with weighted least squares regression by usual weight factors. In this paper the performance of a non-linear calibration equation with the capacity to account empirically for the curvature, y = ax$^{b}$ + c (b $\neq$ 1) is compared with the commonly used linear equation, y = ax + b, as well as the quadratic equation, y = ax$^{2}$+ bx + c. In the calibration curve (range of 0.01 to 10 ${\mu}g/mL$) of roxithromycin, both heteroscedasticity and nonlinearity were present therefore linear least squares regression methods could result in large errors in the determination of roxithromycin concentration. By the non-linear and weighted least squares regression, the accuracy of the analytical method was improved at the lower end of the calibration curve. This study suggests that the non-linear calibration equation should be considered when a curve is required to be fitted to low dose calibration data which exhibit slight curvature.

This paper introduced the new calibration algorithm of a straight-type five-hole pressure probe necessary for calculating three-dimensional flow velocity components. The new velocity data reduction method using both a commercial two-dimensional curve-fitting program and the zone partition method of a calibration map was firstly introduced in this study. This new calibration method can be applied up to the wide flow angle of ${\pm}80^{\circ}$ despite of using a five-hole pressure probe because this data reduction method showed a comparatively good performance in calculating yaw and pitch angles from the calibration map.

Purpose The ASAN Medical Center, Nuclear Medicine performs TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) and FT4 (Free Thyroxine) tests 8 times per day. Accordingly, 70 ~ 80 kit tubes are consumed every day for the measurements and the time consumed for reagent dispensing averages over 170 seconds, where the TAT (turnaround time) may be effected when the number of test samples is larger than expected. Therefore, the following test was conducted with the purpose to reduce the number of kit tubes consumed, and reduce the time for reagent dispensing. Materials and Methods The test is based on applying the same reagent for tests where the number of samples is 30 or less. The test for TSH was conducted 9 times from July $1^{st}$ 2015 to July $10^{th}$ 2015. The test for FT4 was conducted 4 times from June $18^{th}$ 2015 to June $22^{nd}$, 2015. Standard Solution No.2 (0.153 uU/mL) and No.5 (4.96 uU/mL) was selected as the two-point standards for the TSH test, and Standard Solution No.3 (0.777 ng/dL) and No.4 (2.044 ng/dL) was selected as the two-point standards for the FT4 test. 38 test samples were subject to correlation analysis. Results For TSH, the result of the normal test shows ranges of 0.20 ~ 0.37 uU/mL for Control1, 0.53 ~ 0.71 uU/mL for Control2, and 6.77 ~ 7.94uU/mL for Control3, while the result of two-point calibration curve test shows ranges of 0.18 ~ 0.27 uU/mL for Control1, 0.53 ~ 0.71 uU/mL for Control2, and 7.30 ~ 8.52 uU/mL for Control3. For FT4, the result of the normal test shows ranges of 0.85 ~ 0.94 ng/dL for Control1 and 4.23 ~ 4.57 ng/dL for Control2, while the result of two-point calibration curve test shows ranges of 0.61 ~ 0.75 ng/dL for Control1 and 3.88 ~ 5.71 ng/dL for Control2. For TSH, the CV% of the normal test for Control1, Control2 and Control3 are 10.5, 3.3 and 3.6 respectively, while the CV% of the two-point calibration curve test for Control1 and Control1 are 12.4, 8.2 and 5.1 respectively. The result shows an outstanding correlation of TSH: y = 0.9985x - 0.0459 $R^2=0.9986$. For FT4, the CV% of the normal test for Control1 and Control2 are 0.70 and 0.71 respectively, while the CV% of the two-point calibration curve test for Control1 and Control1 are 8.7 and 16.2 respectively. The result shows an outstanding correlation of FT4: y = 1.2674x - 0.1133 $R^2=0.9824$. Conclusion The two-point calibration curve can be efficiently applied for TSH in cases where the number of test samples is not large, since the number of samples to be re-tested increases when the result is abnormal from the calibration curve. The two-point calibration curve test should not be applied for FT4 where the results do not consistently comply with the quality assessment range. Depending on how the two-point calibration curve is applied, up to 5 test tubes can be conserved per test, and the reduced time for reagent dispensing is anticipated to have a positive effect on the TAT (turnaround time).

We have obtained theoretical calibration curves to convert the amount of polarization into the strength of magnetic field, by a numerical calculation of radiation transfer for the polarized spectral line of FeI $6303{\AA}$. In our calculation, three kinds of atmospheric models (VAL-C, penumbra, umbra) have been used to make a proper calibration for an active region composed of quiet, penumbral and umbral areas. It was found that firstly, the results of our calculation depend highly on a kind of atmospheric model rather than on any other input parameters used in a model. Secondly, observed line profile showed m solar spectrum atlas proved to be very similar to the calculated profiles obtained by using a penumbra model. Finally, another method except this calibration curve should be developed to estimate correctly the distribution of magnetic field in solar active region from the observation of polarized spectral line.

본 연구에서는 금-구리합금 표준시료 4점을 대상으로 휴대용 X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(XRF) 검출기별 성분분석을 진행하였고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 ICP-OES 표준값이 기준인 검량선을 작성하여 정확도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 휴대용 XRF 분석 결과, 절대오차는 Au의 경우 0.3~3.7 wt%, Cu의 경우 0.2~8.2 wt%를 보였고, 오차범위와 표준편차가 검출기마다 차이를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 검량선을 작성하여 교정한 결과, Au의 상대오차율은 최대 9.8%에서 3.5%로, Cu의 상대오차율은 최대 14%에서 3.7%로 감소하여 정확도가 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 미지시료를 활용한 검량선 정확도 재확인 실험을 수행하였고, 미지시료의 측정값이 검량선 범위 안에 포함된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 금속문화재의 성분을 정확하게 분석하기 위해서는 유물에 적합한 검출기인지 확인한 후에 각 원소에 대한 검량선을 작성하여 교정해주는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The $H^+$-selective membrane consists of tridodecylamine, 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether and a little amount of additive in carboxylated PVC matrix, where penicillinase(Pcase ) and glutaraldehyde may be covalently attached to the matrix. When the $H^+$-selective electrode was used as a detector of biosensor, calibration curve calculated from Nernst equation was not linear. So we investigated the characteristic responses of the $H^+$-selective electrode to the product H+ from hydrolysis of penicillin-G(Pc-G) and plotted calibration curve correlating potential to concentration of Pc-G linearly. The optimal concentration of buffer solution was theoretically calculated and was also experimented. We tried to explain the linear curve of potential to concentration of Pc-G by using Henderson-Hasselbach equation. This method is more effective in calibration curve plotting than any other previous methods. The results obtained may help in further developing pH electrodes with improved analytical preformance.

For measuring the thermal diffusivity by laser flash method, raw data have to be calibrated using temperature data. We have developed in-process calibration method and polynomial calibration in which thermal diffusivity can be calibrated during measuring, This method is different from existing temperature pre-process calibration method and exponential calibration having various source of error. Using this new calibration method, measurement accuracy was improved about 1∼2% compare to the value by the existing method. We also studied more accurate fitting curve as in Figure 4 was shown the result of measuring output characteristics of IR radiometer with temperature. As illustrated in data, in-process calibration method and polynomial calibration equation is proper than pre-process calibration method and exponential calibration.
