“Improved methods for interpreting magnetic gradient tensor data” David Clark, CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering (Australia).
17-Mar-2010  from 16:00 to 17:00 , Department of Physics of U of T.
Recent technological advances suggest that we are on the threshold of a new era in applied magnetic surverys, where acquisition of magnetic gradient tensor data will become routine. In the meantime, modern ultrahigh resolution [...]

Ivan Hrvoic, President of GEM, explains REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING HIGH ACCURACY WIТН PROTON MAGNEТOMERS.
Absolute accuracy of а measurement is the difference between measured and true values. Obviously, nobody knows the true value, so we end up defining the limits we know the true value must be within. Absolute accuracy of а measurement is the difference between measured and true values.Obviously, [...]
