Tree structures such as the region quadtree... enable the dynamic and hierarchical partitioning of a(raster) data space as opposed to the static partitioning provided by the previous concepts. Most documented applications of region quadtrees on raster data(e. g.(Worboys, 1995),(Samet, 1990)) use the quadtree structure for encoding the raster data down to the level of individual raster cells or pixels. In this approach simple attribute values(e. g. colour values) are assigned to individual leaf nodes. Instead of simple values, leaf nodes could also hold pointers to more complex information, such as binary data strings. This approach allows the region quadtree to be used as the basis for a dynamic variable-size tiling approach. The criteria determining the depth of the quadtree could either be the spatial dimensions of the smallest tile or the maximum amount of data to be stored for an individual tile. 3, record 1, English, - quadtree%20structure

Frequently, geopotential in the atmosphere is referred to as dynamic height, as suggested by the use of the practical unit above. In the sea, the geopotential is negative in reference to that of the sea level geoid. The term dynamic depth is therefore commonly employed as the negative of the geopotential in the sea. Again, it is to be emphasized that dynamic height and dynamic depth are merely other names for geopotential. 1, record 3, English, - dynamic%20depth

The model assumes three separate phases in the behaviour of dredged material dumped in open water : 1) Convective descent. The dredged material forms a cloud whose descent is dominated by gravity. 2) Dynamic collapse. The cloud hits the sea floor or reaches a depth where its buoyancy becomes neutral and horizontal spreading dominates. 3) Passive transport-diffusion. At this stage, behaviour is determined more by ambient conditions than by the dynamics of the disposal operation. 1, record 6, English, - STFATE
