Le poivron et la tomate sont des plantes de climat chaud sensibles au gel. Pour les abris froids, il est essentiel d’avoir une idée des dates représentant des risques de gel printanier et automnal par localité. Ainsi, il sera possible d’estimer la durée de la saison de croissance sans gel afin d’évaluer lequel, d’une serre chauffée ou d’un abri froid, est davantage approprié au site. Il faudra prendre en considération le fait qu’un abri non chauffé offre une protection maximale d’environ 1 °C contre les gelées nocturnes. 1, record 1, French, - dur%C3%A9e%20de%20la%20saison%20de%20croissance%20sans%20gel

Because medium-scale integration(MSI) and large-scale integration(LSI) generally imply digital integrated circuits(ICS), equipment intended to test LSI/MSI devices usually comprises a digital test system. Although manually operated benchtop units are available to test digital logic in a production environment, automated test systems are dictated. Thus, in general, LSI/MSI testers are automated, programmable systems that provide sophisticated test patterns at high repetition rates(usually, rated device operating frequency), with precise edge timing and control of all test parameters. Employed primarily for testing at wafer probe and for final package test(interfaced to a wafer prober or a high-speed, sort devices into predetermined categories based upon test performance, and reject defective devices.

The current trend in modern risk management approaches is to define risk management more broadly than in the traditional sense(which focused on protection of assets, people and the Crown in general).

While the critics of A. I. were not easily silenced, there were, by general consensus, a new burst of energy and several significant achievements in the field in the early 1970s. This second wave is epitomized by Winograd's SHRDLU, the shift from generalist to expert knowledge systems, and the fusion of features of declarative and procedural approaches. At this time, there was another vital, though rather controversial trend : the increasing used of a top-down approach to the understanding of language and other cognitive domains, as exemplified in Roger Schank's scripts and Marvin Minsky's frames. 1, record 20, English, - top%2Ddown%20approach

Armistices may be... general when all armed operations are suspended [or they may be] partial or local... One modern trend in regard to general armistices, however, is that they represent no mere temporary halting of hostilities, but a kind of de facto termination of war, which is confirmed by the final treaty of peace. In the case of a non-war armed conflict, as, for example, the Korean conflict, 1950-1953, the armistice puts an end to the conflict, and it may also be that a final peaceful settlement is contemplated by the contending parties. 1, record 22, English, - general%20armistice
