PLOT RATIO [4 records]

Record 1 2016-03-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
DEF

The area under a plot of the applied stress against the grip displacement, the applied stress being determined from the ratio of the tensile force to the minimum initial cross sectional area of the specimen.

OBS

[The tensile work to break] is expressed in kilojoules per square metre.

OBS

tensile work to break: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
DEF

Aire du diagramme d'essai situé sous la courbe de la contrainte appliquée en fonction du déplacement des mâchoires, la contrainte appliquée étant déterminée par le rapport entre la force de traction et l'aire de la section initiale minimale de l'éprouvette.

OBS

Exprimé en kilojoules par mètre carré.

OBS

travail à la rupture en traction : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 2 2004-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The effect of platform altitude on sensing system capability.

CONT

The slope of the plot is the cloud signal ratio, which correlates directly with the water vapor column above the cloud and therefore indirectly with the altitude. Because of this altitude dependence, clouds of different altitudes within the scene can be distinguished.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
DEF

Effet de l'altitude d'une plate-forme sur les capacités du système de détection.

Record 3 2002-03-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

Vegetation monitoring has been one of the main focal points of remote sensing study since remote sensing research began. Many vegetation indices, using red and infrared reflectance, have been devised. The Perpendicular Vegetation Index(PVI), Ratio Index and Normalized Vegetation Index are among the well known indices of this type. The Perpendicular Vegetation Index, proposed by Richardson and Wiegand(1977), was defined as the distance from the soil line on a scatter plot of near infrared(NIR) versus red reflectance. The pixel vectors of bare land in such plots vary with soil moisture content. The PVI was developed as a vegetation index to effectively monitor the vegetation biomass without being affected by differences in soil background.

OBS

perpendicular vegetation index; PVI: term and abbreviation officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
DEF

Indice de végétation utilisé pour la surveillance de la biomasse sans que n'entrent en compte les différences de l'arrière-plan sol.

OBS

indice de végétation perpendiculaire; PVI : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 4 1997-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Botany
  • Plant Breeding
  • Genetics
CONT

Tests and trials for ’AC Juniper’ were conducted at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Station in Lacombe, Alberta in 1994 and 1995. The trials consisted of four replicated plots per variety with each plot containing four rows. Plot length was three metres.

CONT

Combining ability for grain yield, yield components, and several agronomic and qualitative traits, was studied in a seven-parent diallel cross. The 21 F SUB 1 hybrids and the seven parental cultivars were grown in replicated plot trials sown at normal seed density in three locations in the years 1992 and 1993. The effects of general combining ability(gca) were highly significant for all the traits measured with the exception of seeds per spikelet, while the specific combining ability(sca) effects were statistically significant for grain yield, plant height, heading time, for all the yield components, and for the Chopin alveographic parameters P and P/L ratio/(From an abstract found in Dialog).

CONT

Épreuves et essais : Les épreuves et les essais de 'AC Juniper' ont été effectués à la station de recherche d'Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada, à Lacombe (Alberta), en 1994 et en 1995. Aux fins des essais, quatre parcelles répétées mesurant 3 mètres de longueur et contenant chacune quatre rangées ont été utilisées pour chaque variété.
