Record 1 2021-01-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Airport Runways and Areas
  • Air Navigation Aids
  • Air Safety
CONT

Aircraft operational performances, at landing or take-off, are strongly dependant on runway surface conditions. Bad weather conditions may severely degrade [the] runway surface condition. For obvious safety reasons, when such events appear, methods and means must be implemented to characterize [the] runway surface condition and to provide pilots with relevant information.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pistes et aires d'aéroport
  • Aides à la navigation aérienne
  • Sécurité (Transport aérien)
CONT

Les performances et les limitations opérationnelles des avions à l'atterrissage et au décollage sont fortement dépendantes de l'état de surface des pistes [qui] peut être sévèrement dégradé lorsque les conditions météorologiques sont mauvaises. Pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité, lorsque de telles situations apparaissent, il est nécessaire de mettre en œuvre des méthodes et des moyens visant à caractériser l'état de surface des pistes afin d'être en mesure de fournir aux pilotes les éléments leur permettant de calculer les performances de leur avion et de prendre en compte les limitations opérationnelles.

Record 3 2016-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
  • Beekeeping
CONT

The causal organism of European foulbrood of honey bees is the bacterium Melissococcus plutonius. The identification of its presence by the observation of signs of disease in the field is unreliable. The most usual and obvious sign is the death of larvae shortly before they are due to be sealed in their cells, but this may be for reasons other than European foulbrood.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies des animaux
  • Élevage des abeilles
CONT

La cause de la loque européenne n'est pas parfaitement connue. Généralement, les spécialistes admettent que l'agent causal principal est Melissococcus plutonius, mais que d'autres bactéries interviennent également.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Enfermedades de los animales
  • Cría de abejas
DEF

Enfermedad bacteriana que afecta a las larvas de las abejas provocada por Melissococcus plutonius, [...] las larvas mueren [a los] cuatro o cinco días de edad [secándose y] formando costras o escamas en el interior de las celdas.

OBS

La muerte puede acelerarse por la acción de bacterias secundarias tales como Paenibacillus alvei, Achromobacter eurydice, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus laterosporus, Bacillus apiarius, que no causan la enfermedad pero tienen influencia en el olor y en la consistencia de la cría muerta.

Record 5 2011-04-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

Station at which observations of precipitation only are made.

OBS

The more common term rainfall is also used in this total sense to include not only amounts of rain, but also the water equivalents of frozen precipitation. For obvious reasons, precipitation is the preferred general term.

OBS

This may include observations of snow cover.

Key term(s)
  • rain-fall station
  • rain fall station

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
DEF

Station où seules les précipitations sont mesurées.

CONT

Il existe en France environ 2 600 postes pluviométriques auxquels s'ajoutent 900 postes pluvio-thermométriques, constituant le réseau climatologique national dont les observations sont régulièrement collectées par les services météorologiques. [...] Ces postes climatologiques sont en majorité tenus par des observateurs bénévoles [...]

OBS

Cela peut comprendre des observations de l'enneigement.

Key term(s)
  • poste d'observation pluviométrique

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Estaciones, instrumentos y equipos meteorológicos
DEF

Estación en la que sólo se realizan observaciones acerca de la precipitación.

CONT

Estación pluviométrica. Están dotadas solo de pluviómetros y se realiza comúnmente una sola observación midiendo el agua precipitada en 24 horas.

  • Education Theory and Methods
CONT

"A knowledge market is a place where knowledge is traded. "It seems very obvious but the idea of selling knowledge is seldom considered. Examples of knowledge markets are : auctions, stores, expert knowledge or question and answer exchanges, intellectual property exchanges, investment knowledge exchanges, e-learning exchanges, community oriented networks, intellectual capital exchanges, vertical or industry-specific markets, and B2B knowledge exchange. The reasons behind these markets appeal are diverse : better market access, precision matching, more transparency, and the possibility of knowledge co-creation and development. The factors to a successful knowledge market, as well as the common pitfalls, lead us to the next chapter, which talks about productizing knowledge.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
  • Internet et télématique
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
CONT

Le marché du savoir est en pleine expansion. Le «capital immatériel», son développement et son exploitation sont devenus des facteurs stratégiques pour l'entreprise. L'accès à une multitude de gisements de connaissances et leur utilisation individuelle ou collective représentent une formidable source d'enrichissement culturel pour le citoyen.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The rule is called the chain rule for obvious reasons. We follow a chain of reasoning from A, through B to C.

CONT

... the two rules of inference most used in problem solving are modus ponens ("If A implies B and you know A, then infer B") and modus tollens ("If A implies B and you know not-B, then infer not-A")... Linking several applications of modus ponens together is sometimes called the "chain rule" because inferences are chained together in a sequence....

CONT

... a goal window was included in which a student was required to post the goal(s) she was working on before selecting operators. .... The chain rule is the proposed operator which, before it can be applied, needs two sub-goals to be satisfied....

Subject field(s)
  • Silviculture
CONT

The Canadian and United States grading systems are understood by trade people familiar with North American products, but they are clearly much more familiar and at ease with Nordic standards. The principal reason is, for obvious reasons, the temperate hardwoods, where the United States standards have at least become a de facto industry norm.

CONT

By applying a field gradient the precession frequency of the protons increases with the local magnetic field. The phase angle increases by an amount that is typical for the position of the voxels along the gradient axis(...). For obvious reasons, this type of gradient is called the "phase-encoding" gradient.
