   The discrepancy between the starting point the endpoint of the shape reconstructed from the measured dimensions and bearings of a boundary.

   • The use of the ratio of the linear misclose to the total length traversed as an expression of traverse accuracy has been known to be theoretically weak since sampling distributions are unknown.
   • The program also calculated the misclose ratio as a check to see if the garden measurement data had been taken accurately and entered correctly.
   • A misclose assessment should be undertaken to verify that forward and backward runs of a levelling travers, including any individual bays, are within the maximum allowable misclose.

   The degree to which the model of the forces acting on a structure fail to account for the observed shape of that structure.

   • Having computed three miscloses from three initial guesses, Newtonian iteration is used to improve the guessed values in a semi-automatic manner.
   • This process was repeated for all nodes along the column and the resulting deflection (misclose) at the top of the column of -0.298 mm indicated that the chosen trial value of N was incorrect.
3. 3

   To cause or exhibit a misclose.

   • In some surveys angles of a traverse are known to misclose up to 5° (five degrees) but the traverse is adjusted.
   • Since the outer loop also contains the blundered angle, it should come as no surprise that it also miscloses by 2 degrees.

   1. 4

      To fail to loop back to the starting point.

      • Another definition can be sometimes more useful: consider a closed loop which becomes broken and misclosed due to anholonomic transformation.

      To close improperly

      To close improperly; to fail to shut properly.

      • when the phases of both circuits synchronize and prevents the misclosing when the system disturbance is not in a proper condition to close.
      • Once more the ordinary person's common sense is roughly adequate to understand that since hydraulically misclosed doors leak or " bleed" continually, the chances of a catastrophic door blow-out and subsequent decompression are lessened.
      • Environment type: temperature, humidity, electromagnetic, current exceed the threshold or change too much; typical misoperations such as mis-opening, misclosing, etc.
   3. 6

      To close (a deal) in error.

      • If you fail to qualify the client's needs well, you may make a poor presentation." "Or misclose the customer," commented another seller.
