Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experiment conducted to compare two methods--graphic and textual-- of indexing reference materials for use of image interpreters in a tactical image interpretation facility is reported. The objective was to evaluate the two methods for speed and accuracy in locating rolls of reference imagery in a TIIF. Image interpreters trained in the use of area-oriented graphic and textual indexes to tactical imagery on roll film were required in two experiments to obtain from indexes the accession number of rolls of imagery containing coverage for a given area. Interpreter performance with both types of indexes was compared for accuracy and speed. Major findings were: (1) Interpreters took less time on the average with the textual index when areas were small; (2) with the graphic index, less time was taken when areas were large. The longer time taken with the textual index to locate desired imagery for large areas appeared due to recording and analyses tasks required under these conditions. Conclusions point to the greater utility of the graphic index in a manual image processing system where coverage of large geographical areas is required or if image coverage has to be precisely defined. The textual index appears more useful in a computerized system where coverage of small area targets with less definition is the major requirement.
Download or read book Experimentation and Evaluation Plans for the 2010 Census written by Lawrence D. Brown and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-01-24 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 50 years, the Census Bureau has conducted experiments and evaluations with every decennial census involving field data collection during which alternatives to current census processes are assessed for a subset of the population. An "evaluation" is usually a post hoc analysis of data collected as part of the decennial census processing to determine whether individual steps in the census operated as expected. The 2010 Program for Evaluations and Experiments, known as CPEX, has enormous potential to reduce costs and increase effectiveness of the 2020 census by reducing the initial list of potential research topics from 52 to 6. The panel identified three priority experiments for inclusion in the 2010 census to assist 2020 census planning: (1) an experiment on the use of the Internet for data collection; (2) an experiment on the use of administrative records for various census purposes; and (3) an experiment (or set of experiments) on features of the census questionnaire. They also came up with 11 recommendations to improve efficiency and quality of data collection including allowing use of the Internet for data submission and including one or more alternate questionnaire experiments to examine things such as the representation of race and ethnicity.

Download or read book Experiments in International Benchmarking of US Research Fields written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-02-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the federal government gauge the overall health of scientific researchâ€"as a whole and in its partsâ€"and determine whether national funding adequately supports national research objectives? It is feasible to monitor US performance with field-by-field peer assessments. This might be done through the establishment of independent panels consisting of researchers who work in a field, individuals who work in closely related fields, and research "users" who follow the field closely. Some of these individuals should be outstanding foreign scientists in the field being examined. This technique of comparative international assessments is also known as international benchmarking. Experiments in International Benchmarking of U.S. Research Fields evaluates the feasibility and utility of the benchmarking technique. In order to do this, the report internationally benchmarks three fields: mathematics, immunology, and materials science and engineering, then summarizes the results of these experiments.
