Dear Fabrizio, may there be any interest, to measure position and angle deformation of bridges using a new 'Vignetting field stop procedure"?

With a new optical measurement technology we would be able to measure the two dimensional deformation in (X and Y) of a building (e.g. bridge) on several points (10 or more, depends on setup)...

How do I calculate the rotated score matrix after PCR?

Hi, I want to do cluster analysis with large data table (163 variables with 1500 test persons). By PCA I found that about 20 significant components explain 75% of the variance. I also found that...

Is measurement of oxygen uptake rate dependent on the DO concentration in the sample?

One problem w the BOD bottle type of OUR measurement is that it can only be used in a system that is not DO limited (typically assumed about 2 mg/l or more). If the system is running at low DO and...
