To the extent that artifacts vary from a surface they will be pulled towards the isotropic pole. Thus, the last simulated data set was created by giving 200 artifacts random bearings(0-360°) and random plunges(0-90°). From the Schmidt diagram... it is clear that there is no patterning in these data. Points are as likely to plot near the edges as near the center of the diagram and the Rose diagram shows an approximately uniform distribution of bearings. 2, record 4, English, - random%20plunge

Optical remote sensing makes use of visible, near infrared and short-wave infrared sensors to form images of the earth's surface by detecting the solar radiation reflected from targets on the ground. Different materials reflect and absorb differently at different wavelengths. When solar radiation hits a target surface, it may be transmitted, absorbed or reflected. Different materials reflect and absorb differently at different wavelengths. The reflectance spectrum of a material is a plot of the fraction of radiation reflected as a function of the incident wavelength and serves as a unique signature for the material. 1, record 7, English, - reflectance%20spectrum

In measurement of non-faradaic admittance(or tensammetry), a plot of alternating current against applied potential shows a minimum or maximum when a non-electroactive substance undegoes adsorption or desorption at the surface of the indicator electrode. Such a maximum or minimum may be called an apex to emphasize its non-faradaic origin and distinguish it from a "summit", which would result from a charge-transfer process. The highest value of the current on such an apex may be called an apex current, and the corresponding applied potential may be called an apex potential. 1, record 8, English, - apex%20current

On peut appeler un tel maximum ou minimum un «courant apex» pour mettre en relief son orifice non faradique et pour le distinguer du «courant de sommet» qui serait le résultat d'un processus de transfert de charge.
