Mitigating evidence is evidence that is provided usually by the defendant in a criminal trial in order to try to establish the presence of mitigating circumstances . The presence of mitigating circumstances can reduce the punishment imposed for the offense. The case of Oregon v.

Orphan date November 2006 Unreferenced date July 2009 A Mitigating Control is type of control used in auditing to discover and prevent mistakes that may lead to uncorrected and or unrecorded misstatements that would generally be related to control deficiencies . For example, a Trader finance trader may fail to record a trade and the error may go unnoticed for several reporting periods. A mitigating control would be instrumental in finding and therefore, preventing such mistakes. Designing adequate mitigating controls in a company s overall internal control plan is important. If a key control fails and a mitigating control is in place, it may prevent the resulting potential financial statement error from becoming material. Category Auditing ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 The F factor , in diagnostic radiology , is the conversion factor between rontgen s and rad unit rads or, in more modern units, coulomb s kg to gray unit grays . In other words, it converts between the amount of ionization in air rontgens and the absorbed dose in tissue rads . The two determinants are of the F factor are the atomic number effective Z of the material and the type of ionizing radiation being considered. Since the effective Z of air and soft tissue is approximately the same, the F factor is approximately 1 for many x ray imaging applications. However, bone has an F factor of up to 4, due to its higher effective Z. References Bushberg et al., 2002. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging.

Orphan date March 2011 In power engineering , winding factor is what makes the rms generated voltage in a three phase AC electrical generator become lesser. This is because the Armature electrical engineering armature winding of each phase is distributed in a number of slots. Since the Electromagnetic field emf induced in different slots are not in phase, their phasor sum is less than their numerical sum. This reduction factor is called distribution factor K sub d sub . Another factor that can reduce the winding factor is when the slot pitch is smaller than the pole pitch, called pitch factor K sub p sub . The winding factor can be calculated as K sub w sub K sub d sub K sub p sub . Most of the three phase machines have winding factor values between 0.85 and 0.95. With the free online winding editor from Emetor, it is possible to determine the fundamental winding factor as well as the winding factor space harmonics for different winding arrangements as a function of the number of slots and number of poles of the winding.

A scale factor is a number which scaling geometry scales , or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y Cx , C is the scale factor for x . C is also the coefficient of x , and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x . For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of 2 for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor of . The basic equation for it is image over preimage.

Shape factor can refer to one of number of values in physics , engineering , or image analysis . Typically, a shape factor refers to a value that is affected by an object s shape but is independent of its dimensions. In physics A band pass filter performance measure Shape factor X ray diffraction The view factor in the field of radiative heat transfer Shape factor particle physics , denoting the ratio of a elementary particle particle s major dimension to its minor dimension In engineering Shape factor boundary layer flow Structural indices derived from falling weight deflectometer data Compensation for non homogeneity in a compressed or sheared piece is normally provided by a Shape Factor . It is Defined as the ratio between strained or transverse section and free or lateral area. Its usefulness in certain engineering disciplines is demonstrated by the effect which shape can have on the bending and fracture strength of materials tabulating these allows greater accuracy in gauging the usefulness of a material in a given situation. For example, a solid steel bar is very inefficient at resisting deflection and is very heavy for the strength it affords in certain situations, replacing it with an I beam will make for a more efficient design.
