Capture errors

Have you ever started traveling in one direction (like to the store) but suddenly find yourself on a more familiar route (like on the way to work) How many times have you borrowed someone s pen to write a note or sign a form, and later found the pen in your pocket Norman calls these "capture errors," because a familiar activity or routine seemingly "captures" you and takes over an unfamiliar activity. This error seems to occur at the execution stage of information processing, but it also involves misperception or inattention to relevant stimuli, as well as the absence of conscious judgment or decision making. 

This is one reason to get in the habit of practicing the safe way of doing something, regardless of the situation. Then your safe behavior is put into automatic mode, and a capture error can actually be to your advantage. This happens when you reach for the shoulder belt in the back seat of a vehicle because of your habitual buckle-up behavior as a...

Unintended activation of a schema may cause action to intrude where it is not expected, or else the schema may cease to be activated, before the appropriate time has come for it to control behavior. A capture error occurs as a... 

Advocates of the global approach would argue that human activities are essentially goal-directed (the cognitive view expressed in Chapter 2), and that this cannot be captured by a simple decomposition of a task into its elements. They also state that if an intention is correct (on the basis of an appropriate diagnosis of a situation), then errors of omission in skill-based actions are imlikely, because feedback will constantly provide a comparison between the expected and actual results of the task. From this perspective, the focus would be on the reliability of the cognitive rather than the action elements of the task. 

There has been a push for direct data collection (DDC) as an alternative to remote data capture (RDC). In this approach most of the required clinical data are acquired directly from existing patient record systems such as MRI machines, ECG, EEG, TTM, laboratories, and other measurement equipment. This approach eliminates the need for paper transcription and reentry to another system. It promises error-free and resource-efficient data capture, which allows early locking of the database and therefore potentially earlier product launch [30]. 

The multiscale basis functions capture the fast changes in coefficients corresponding to the fine-scale basis functions, while the slower changes are captured by the coarse-scale basis functions. Thus, the wavelet thresholding method adapts its resolution to the nature of the signal features and reduces the contribution of errors with minimum distortion of the features retained in the rectified signal. 

The remaining N - k variables capture the errors in the variables. The data matrix may then be represented as... 

Since chemical reactions usually show significant nonadiabaticity, there are naturally quantitative errors in the predictions of the vibrationally adiabatic model. Furthermore, there are ambiguities about how to apply the theory such as the optimal choice of coordinate system. Nevertheless, this simple picture seems to capture the essence of the resonance trapping mechanism for many systems. We also point out that the recent work of Truhlar and co-workers24,34 has demonstrated that the reaction dynamics is largely controlled by the quantized bottleneck states at the barrier maxima in a much more quantitative manner than expected.

In Eq. (3.4), the contributions of both the nuclei and the electrons are considered. The maximum energy transfer for electrons is (l/4)mv2, but since their contribution to the loss cross section is small, no great error is committed in taking the maximum energy transfer as 2mv2 for all ionizations represented in Eq. (3.4). Electron capture is a three-body process best visualized as ionization of a molecule of the medium with the ejected electron having a speed v at least equal to that of the incident ion, followed by capture of that electron in an orbit around the impinging ion. Mozumder et al. (1968) modified an earlier formula of Bohr (1948) and wrote the capture cross section as... 

It is feasible to capture a large volume of seawater in the range of 65 000 1 by the CEPEX approach for the purpose of sampler intercomparison. It is possible by artificial stimulation of a plankton bloom and detritus removal to produce a reasonably homogeneous body of seawater for the study. Proximity of the in situ enclosure for the experiment and the on-shore, clean laboratory facilities eliminate errors introduced by shipboard contamination under less than ideal conditions on cruises. 

Only when the very contamination-sensitive electron-capture detector is used is it necessary to provide separate gas streams, one for the reaction and stripping part of the system, the other for the carrier gas stream of the column and detector. Otherwise, the same gas stream can be used to strip the hydrides from solution and carry them into the detector, which greatly simplifies the apparatus. This is of considerable significance, as each additional surface and joint in the apparatus increases the possibility of irreversible adsorption of the sensitive hydrides, and thus is a potential contributor to analytical error. The...
