Overcoming Challenges in Social Intervention Evaluation

Classified in Other subjects

Written at on English with a size of 4.5 KB.

There may be pressures, both from those involved and by the Administration, to get unbiased information quickly. This can cause problems such as calling for information at inopportune moments, conditioning the evaluator to provide information in a particular direction, or falsifying reality. This leads to a distorted view, where information is received from the appraiser in a partisan, arbitrary, and self-interested manner, solely to get information to places or persons of interest. All this can lead to an assessment where the assessor bureaucratically accepts the values of the authorities and provides information that will help them carry out their policy objectives. This also includes what McDonald called self-critical evaluation, in which... Continue reading "Overcoming Challenges in Social Intervention Evaluation" »

Differential GPS (DGPS): How it Works and Its Benefits

Classified in Other subjects

Written at on English with a size of 2.63 KB.

Differential GPS (DGPS)

The DGPS (Differential GPS) is a system that provides GPS receivers with corrections to the data received from GPS satellites in order to provide greater precision in the calculated position. It was designed mainly due to the introduction of selective availability (SA). The rationale lies in the fact that the errors produced by the GPS system apply equally (or very similarly) to the receivers close together. The errors are strongly correlated in coming receivers.

A GPS receiver fixed on the ground (reference) that knows exactly where it is based on other techniques, gets the position given by GPS, and can calculate the errors caused by GPS compared with its known position. This receiver transmits the error correction... Continue reading "Differential GPS (DGPS): How it Works and Its Benefits" »
