Abstract
In this article, after a brief discussion of the role of management in supporting data quality efforts within its organization we describe work carried out to improve the quality of a database of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The techniques used include internal consistency checks and record linkage methods. The end result was that (1) duplicate records were removed from the database, (2) critical data elements were corrected, and (3) property addresses were added to mortgage records that previously lacked such.

Single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) utilizing the weak signal of inherently present S atoms can be successfully used to solve macromolecular structures, although this is mostly performed with data from a synchrotron rather than a laboratory source. Using high redundancy, sufficiently accur
## a b s t r a c t Noise is a known drawback in the mass spectrometric analysis of chromatographic data. Different techniques exist to avoid or to remove noise before and after data acquisition. Noise occurs in two different types, electronic and chemical. The former can be lowered by applying smoo
