An estimate of 100 students are projected to enroll and up to 60 expected to graduate from the program within the first six years. The university is commencing the bachelor's program in anticipation of a mandate to hire athletic trainers at all levels of sports competition.

Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that millions of birds are killed each year because of communications towers.

On two small lakes in Worthington, Minn., count/estimates of longspur carcasses put the death toll there at 750,000, but given the extent of the weather system some believed several million longspurs perished (source The Winter Bird-Life of Minnesota, a Minn state publication).

And can I even trust this 88.47% as a pop. estimate?

Your estimate of the efficiency of components is probably too high. Gearboxes are rarely 98 to 99% efficient unless made with watchmaker precision. Marine engineers usually estimate a driveline efficiency of 95%. That's why gearboxes get hot and oil coolers are necessary. Exposed roller chains are messy.

For example, it's not all that hard to come up with a reasonably close estimate of the height of a bluff or a building on shore, etc. Would a stadimeter provide an equally reasonable estimate of your boat's distance from these objects? Joel mentioned using the stadimeter to set and hold distances between ships traveling in formation.

Now to get the detailed estimates they want from Big Top and the contractor who will reinstall my boat lift. In the end I will be building a hip roof structure rather than the large shelter I had before because a smaller boat now lives there, but USAA wants the estimate for exactly what was there. Hmmm. Well, OK.

'z' becomes the estimate of frequency change over time [1/s^2] and we use it to adjust y in addition to the integral of the phase: y += (x - y) * t + z * c and we steer the oscillator as before: a * x + b * y All there is left is to find good values for a, b, c, t & s.

This illustrates the issue that for some cases (such as this one) occasionally recording time error (phase) is often easier and more reliable than making many uninterrupted frequency measurements and integrating them all to estimate net time error. /tvb
