The direct adjustment is suitable for errors collating of the measurements of airflow rates. The indirect method is suitable for the adjustment of ventilation resistance. The free-net method is adapted to the combined adjustment of the measurements of both the ventilation in branches of the air network and the air pressure at nodes of the ventilation network, the partial adjustment is also introduced here to be used for saving the storage locations in computer required for the adjustment for large scale mine ventilation measurements.展开更多

Additionally,because different climatic conditions may have different effects on the performance of the precipitation gauges, it is also necessary to test the gauges in different areas. This study mainly analyzed precipitation measurements from the single-Altershielded TRwS204 automatic weighing gauge(TRwS_(SA)) relative to the adjusted manual measurements(reference precipitation) from the Chinese standard precipitation gauge in a doublefence wind shield(CSPG_(DF)) in the Hulu watershed in the Qilian Mountains, China. The measurements were compared over the period from August 2014 to July2017, and the transfer function derived from the work by Kochendorfer et al.(2017 a) for correcting windinduced losses was applied to the TRwS_(SA) measurements. The results show that the average loss of TRwS_(SA) measurements relative to the reference precipitation decreased from 0.55 mm(10.7%) to 0.51 mm(9.9%) for rainfall events, from 0.35 mm(8.5%)to 0.22 mm(5.3%) for sleet events, and from 0.49 mm(18.9%) to 0.33 mm(12.7%) for snowfall events after adjustment. The uncorrected large biases of TRwS_(SA) measurements are considered to be mainly caused by specific errors of TRwS_(SA), different gauge orifice area and random errors. These types of errors must be considered when comparing precipitation measurements for different gauge types, especially in the mountains.展开更多

In particular, the shareholder value creation over a period is derived as the sum of two components: the EP relating purely to the operations of the company and the EP generated each period due to the tax benefit that arises from debt financing. We consider our results to be important for analysts and decision makers involved in appraising business performance or making investment decisions and HR professionals as well.展开更多
