Record 2 2011-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

A model of the student’s current state. This is the system’s current understanding of the history, capabilities, knowledge, goals and motivation of the student it is teaching.

DEF

That part of a teaching program which provides it with information about the student using it.

CONT

We generally think of a student model as an evolving description of what the student knows about the subject domain. [...] This dynamic process is based on various sources of evidence and ways to reason about the evidence, involving considerations like measures of a priori difficulty, structural relationships in the knowledge base, and common sense reasoning.

CONT

Another student-controlled means of sharing status information is through the student profile. At the start of a tutorial session the student specifies whether he wishes to be told about conclusions being made by the expert program... in the course of the dialogue. He can request nothing, ask for full information, or simply request a "hint, "... The components of the profile are : Student Sophistication... Failure or Success of D-rules... Rule Conclusions... Final Goal Conclusions... Lesson Plan... Debugging....

OBS

It can be descriptive or simulative, or a combination of the two. Each of its submodels - behavioral, epistemic, and individual - plays a distinct role in the continuity of the communication process.

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente
DEF

Composante d'un tuteur intelligent réunissant l'ensemble des informations sur l'élève.

CONT

Le modèle de l'apprenant : il reflète les connaissances que possède le système sur l'apprenant; il contient en particulier : les connaissances statiques acquises par l'apprenant (base d'objets et de relations), les connaissances dynamiques (règles de comportement des objets), et les connaissances propres à l'apprenant (évaluation de l'apprenant).

CONT

Le modèle étudiant représente l'histor ique des connaissances de l'apprenant en terme de décisions prises au fur et à mesure d'erreurs commises, de fausses conceptions. Le modèle de l'apprenant évolue constamment et représente la partie dynamique du système à partir de laquelle nous pouvons bâtir une interactivité plus adaptée aux processus d'apprentissage de l'étudiant.

Record 3 2006-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
DEF

A complete snow profile observation where grain size, grain type, interval temperature, layer density and layer hardness are measured and recorded in addition to stability information.

CONT

Full profiles are still showing that the base layers of the snowpack are very weak. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

A "full profile" is a snow profile that includes a complete set of observations. There is no judgment required about what to observe because you always take a full set. [Reference : Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada. ]

OBS

Do not confuse with "test profile. "A "test profile" requires some judgment to determine what is the most relevant observations to make-you do not take a full set of observations, but only those that matter for your current objective. [Reference : Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada. ]

OBS

full profile : term officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
CONT

Le profil stratigraphique complet met encore en évidence des couches fragiles à la base du manteau neigeux. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.]

OBS

Record 4 2004-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Food Industries
CONT

Food extruders are often starve-fed, which means the feed input to the extruder is controlled externally with an independent feeder and is less than the maximum throughput for a given screw speed. The effect of starve-feeding on the pressure profile during potato granule extrusion is apparent in the fact that the pressure build-up in the extruder only occurs near the die when the screw channels are full of material.

Key term(s)
  • starve feeding

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Régime d'un extrudeur dans lequel le débit d'alimentation est inférieur au débit d'avalement.

Record 5 2004-07-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Husbandry
CONT

A beautiful, delicate head characterizes the Arabian, often with a "dished" or concave profile below large, prominent eyes; a high-set, arched neck; and a naturally high tail carriage. The back is short and straight; the withers are pronounced and long; the chest is muscular, deep and broad; the shoulders long and sloping; the legs muscular with broad strong joints and clearly defined tendons; and the hooves small with very tough horn, wide at the heel. These points of "type" give the Arabian its distinctive beauty. The ideal height for an Arabian is between 14. 2 and 15 hands and may be chestnut, gray, bay, and black. White markings on the face and legs are common. The coat is fine and silky and the skin is invariably black. The mane and tail are full.

CONT

The Arab is possibly the most beautiful and most noble of all breeds of horse. There is no other horse that has the perfect combination of courage, stamina and speed, along with loyalty and gentle affection. Its hot-blooded nature and stunning good looks have been admired for hundreds of years. Many of the world’s breeds have been developed by crossing the Arab with more cold-blooded, docile horses with a heavier build.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Élevage des chevaux
DEF

Cheval issu d'un père et d'une mère eux-mêmes de pur sang arabe. Son énergie, sa résistance et sa conformation en font un coursier remarquable.

CONT

Le Pur-sang arabe est le cheval le plus fin et le plus élégant au monde [...] C'est une des plus anciennes races, son origine est mal connue, mais on sait au moins qu'elle est orientale : cheval mongol selon les uns, arabe modifié selon les autres ou descendant des chevaux sauvages d'Asie ou d'Afrique.

OBS

Sa taille varie de 1,40 à 1,55 mètre.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cría de ganado caballar
OBS

Pura Sangre Árabe [...] se trata de una de las razas más antiguas que existen. Su origen se encuentra en el cruce entre el caballo del Sur de Oriente Medio con los caballos del norte de Mongolia.

Record 6 1997-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
OBS

Photons emitted in one region of a source may be partly absorbed by atoms at lower excitation levels in their passage through the plasma. Because of the fact that the absorption profile is of a similar shape to the emission profile, energy is preferentially absorbed from the central part of the emission line. Maximum absorption occurs at the centre of the line or central wavelength. The actual line profile of the transmitted radiation is changed as a result of the lowering of the maximum intensity. This is the cause of the increase in the apparent full width at half maximum. This is termed self-absorption broadening.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
OBS

Lors de leur passage à travers le plasma, des photons émis dans une région d'une source peuvent être partiellement absorbés par des atomes dans des niveaux d'excitation moins élevés. Le profil d'absorption étant d'une forme semblable à celle du profil d'émission, l'énergie est préférentiellement absorbée à partir de la partie centrale de la raie d'émission. L'absorption maximale se produit au centre de la raie ou à la longueur d'onde centrale. Le profil réel de la raie du rayonnement transmis change par suite de l'abaissement du maximum d'intensité. Ceci est la cause de l'augmentation apparente de la pleine largeur à la mi-hauteur du maximum. Ce phénomène se nomme élargissement par autoabsorption.

Record 7 1995-02-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pulp and Paper
DEF

The surface curvature shape or diameter profile of the press and calender rolls to compensate for deflection in order to obtain a uniform nip pressure distribution across the full width through which the paper passes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pâtes et papier
CONT

Dans la pince, un côté de la feuille est en contact avec un rouleau lisse et dur, généralement en granite ou en «stonite», mais on utilise parfois un rouleau métallique plein, recouvert ou non d'une gomme dure. Le rouleau en contact avec le feutre est recouvert d'une gomme résiliente pour «adoucir» la pince. Comme les rouleaux de presse fléchissent sous la charge, il faut cintrer et(ou) bomber un rouleau pour obtenir un profil de pression uniforme dans la zone de contact. La courbure à donner dépend du diamètre du rouleau et de sa longueur ainsi que du matériau de construction et de la charge appliquée. Un bombé fixe (obtenu par usinage) n'est adapté que pour une seule charge.
