English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
  • Digital Currency
DEF

An algorithm used in distributed process systems to reach an agreement on a single data value.

OBS

These algorithms ensure that a level of reliability is achieved in a network consisting of a series of nodes. If a transaction takes place, the algorithm communicates across the network to verify that particular action.

DEF

[Algorithme] qui permet de trouver un accord sur une valeur unique de données entre des processus ou des systèmes distribués.

Record 2 2009-03-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Surveys
OBS

There are at least two reasons for measuring dispersion. The first... is to form a judgement about the reliability of the average value. For example, if there is a large amount of scatter among the items in a series then the average size used to summarize the values may not be at all representative of the data being studied.... a second... is to learn the extent of the scatter so that steps may be taken to control the existing variation.

OBS

scatter: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sondages et enquêtes (Statistique)
DEF

[...] fluctuation des observations autour de la tendance centrale [...]

OBS

Les caractéristiques de dispersion les plus fréquemment utilisées sont : l'étendue, l'intervalle interquartile, l'écart absolu moyen et l'écart-type, cette dernière étant de beaucoup la plus courante. [...] L'étendue et l'intervalle interquartile sont, dans leur principe, du type de la médiane : les observations y interviennent par leur rang, et non par leur valeur. L'écart absolu moyen et l'écart-type font, au contraire, intervenir les écarts de chacune des observations à la moyenne arithmétique : ce sont des moyennes de ces écarts.

OBS

dispersion : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

Record 3 1989-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Control Systems (Electronic Instrumentation)
CONT

The advantage of programming sequences over relay logic and mechanical timers is assuming increasing importance since electronic systems are more versatile and reliable. The 1K1 series of programmable sequencers are designed primarily for gas turbine type applications where reliability failure detection, rapid fault finding and quick program changes are of prime importance.(Source : SAE Preprints n. 770962 for Meeting, Nov. 14-17, 1977).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes cybernétiques de contrôle et de commande
CONT

On utilise (...) les micro-ordinateurs dans les applications où les miniordinateurs seraient trop puissants, telles que la conduite des ascenseurs, le convoyage, [et] les petits automatismes qui étaient réalisés à l'aide de circuits câblés tels que les relais. Ils sont donc voisins des séquenceurs programmables. (contexte tiré d'un projet en informatique, 1976).

Record 4 1988-06-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
OBS

Determination of glucose level.

OBS

Comparative studies are reported on the reliability of the results in the determination of blood glucose by glucosooxidase-peroxidase and o-tuluidine methods. Both methods have a good correlation, r=0, 9575 with n=61. The results indicate that the GOD/POD method and o-toluidine method have a good reproducibility in time and series and high accuracy. Due to the poorer toxicity of GOD/POD-method its broader implementation in routine practice is recommended.
