CONT

Near-infrared reflectance(NIR) imaging is a noninvasive, noncontact, and rapid in vivo examination currently extensively available for ophthalmologists.... the technique enables visualizing subretinal alterations located in the retinal photoreceptor layer, the retinal pigmented epithelium(RPE), and choroid. The basis is a long excitation wavelength([approximately] 820 nm [nanometres] diode laser) that penetrates the optic media and enables visualizing the retina and choroid in detail. Changes in reflection and absorption of light through retinal tissues enhance visualization of structures beneath the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) and melanin. Images often correlate with blue-light fundus autofluorescence(FAF) ;however, NIR demonstrates superiority in revealing sub-RPE lesions.

It is assumed that a part of the immune response—such as binding or neutralizing antibodies—will correlate with other important components of the immune response... In the absence of efficacy data, immunobridging can be adopted as an approach to infer the likelihood of a vaccine's protective effect by translating immunogenicity to vaccine efficacy.

The smallest usable element of an image.

CONT

For applications such as cartography, where it is important to precisely locate the correct position of features such as roads and boundaries, it has been difficult or impossible to evaluate the relative performance of different sensors through the standard specifications of IFOV [Instantaneous Field of View] or spatial resolution. In an effort to overcome this difficulty, a second concept... labeled spatial effective resolution element(SERE), is evolving. Although this concept is not fully developed, it provides an indication of the factors to be taken into account when attempting to correlate different systems. These factors include : surface area on the Earth, or its equivalent on the image plane, the IFOV and the spread function resulting from optical diffraction and aberrations as well as electronic lag or smear. Essentially, the concept of SERE is an attempt to determine the IFOV of the hypothetical, unsampled(ideal) scanning system which would yield performance equivalent to that of any given real sensor system. Whether such an equivalence exists is yet to be determined.

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy(NIRS) is an accurate, precise, and rapid alternative to wet chemistry procedures for determining concentrations of major classes of chemical compounds in organic materials, such as plant foliage. The method utilizes reflectance signals resulting from bending and stretching vibrations in molecular bonds between carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. Calibration is required to correlate the spectral response of each sample at individual wavelengths to known chemical concentrations from laboratory analyses.

Spectrométrie dans le proche infrarouge (NIRS). C'est actuellement la plus performante des méthodes de prédiction pour mesurer la digestibilité de la matière organique qui permet d'apprécier la valeur énergétique d'un fourrage. Lorsqu'on soumet un ensemble de molécules à un rayonnement lumineux infrarouge (longueurs d'ondes comprises entre 780 et 2500 nm), une partie du rayonnement est absorbée, une autre réfléchie. Les longueurs d'ondes absorbées sont spécifiques à chaque constituant et le degré d'absorption proportionnel à sa concentration. Le spectromètre indique ainsi le spectre réfléchi et permet d'en déduire le spectre d'absorption. C'est une méthode de mesure indirecte. Le spectre d'absorption permet de caractériser un produit exactement comme une empreinte digitale permet d'identifier un criminel par comparaison de «l'empreinte» observée avec une banque de données.

The work done when a specimen is stressed to rupture in tension, expressed as energy per unit cross-sectional area of test specimen. It is measured by stressing the specimen to rupture in tension under prescribed conditions and determining the integral of the tensile stress over the range of tensile strain from zero to maximum strain. Considered by some to correlate well with web runnability.

Énergie de rupture. Les papiers destinés à subir des efforts brutaux, des chocs doivent avoir une bonne capacité d'allongement avant rupture.

Le papier utilisé à la confection de ces sacs est contrôlé sur un dynamomètre qui enregistre la courbe de la force de traction par rapport à l'allongement de l'éprouvette.
