Interferometric synthetic aperture radar(InSAR) is a promising recent technique for the generation of digital elevation models and/or the measurement of ground surface deformations. In InSAR data processing, the first step is the image co-registration, achieved by using a set of tie points which are the conjugate image points on the master and slave images. Tie points are selected with the aim of finding the conjugate point automatically on the slave image for any given point on the master image, by the process known as image matching. To achieve reliable matching, a set of points within a window is used instead of a single point. The size of the window will affect the reliability of matching. Hitherto there have been no effective methods for the determination of optimum window size for this purpose. In practice, this parameter is determined by experience. 2, record 2, English, - image%20co%2Dregistration

La mise en correspondance d'images vise à aligner deux ou plusieurs images d'une même scène, acquises par un même ou plusieurs instruments différents (optique visible ou infrarouge, radar, lidar). Une fois recalées, ces images peuvent être fusionnées. Ainsi, la combinaison des informations multi-sources, multi-vues, structurelles, statistiques, temporelles, permettra de faciliter l'analyse et contribuera à une meilleure prise de décision pour la reconnaissance des objets ou des matériaux. 2, record 2, French, - mise%20en%20correspondance%20d%27images

Electron trap generation in the gate oxide is a major reliability problem, since it can cause stress-induced leakage current and oxide breakdown. In this paper, traps are created either by the substrate hole injection or the Fowler-Nordheim injection. The attention is focused on how detrapping affects the generated traps. The detrapping is achieved by different techniques, including electron-hole recombination, and field or thermally assisted tunnelling. 1, record 3, English, - detrapping

Fluorescent PCR : A New Technique for PGD of Sex and Single-Gene Defects. For single-cell diagnosis, particularly preimplantation genetic diagnosis to be successful four main criteria must be achieved : sensitivity, reliability, accuracy, and identification/elimination of contamination... Fluorescent PCR achieves all four necessary criteria and, in addition, currently allows genes on up to nine chromosomes to be simultaneously investigated. 1, record 4, English, - fluorescent%20PCR

The recently-developed Minneapolis Preschool Screening Instrument is educationally-oriented, brief, and economical to administer, and it has achieved sensitivity in the range of 60-63% and specificity from 89-93%. It shows promising reliability and validity, but it needs to be assessed on different populations before widespread use. 2, record 5, English, - Minneapolis%20Preschool%20Screening%20Instrument
