By higher-level goals I mean goals that describe what the interaction is all about : The tutor is trying to communicate a body of information to the student; the tutor wants the student to learn the material; if the student is having difficulties, the tutor wants to find the underlying misconceptions and deal with them. These goals are intertwined into a structure that gives overall guidance to the tutor's entire interaction with the student. Learners also have comparable high-level goal structures that guide the interaction from their side. 2, record 1, English, - higher%2Dlevel%20goal

The goal of chemical derivatization is to modify the structure of the analyte(either a nucleophile or electrophile) using a chemical reagent(either an electrophile or nucleophile depending on the nature of the analyte) and, as a result, a new compound(the reaction's derivate) with improved chemical and physical properties for analysis is formed. 1, record 2, English, - chemical%20derivatization

Architectural technicians hold a sort of hybrid role in the field of planning and drafting building schematics. Generally speaking, these technicians are concerned with the technical and scientific areas which affect architectural design. When employed in architectural firms, they are typically tasked with assisting with sections of drawings that must be scientifically precise and conform to certain technological specifications. These technicians also work in engineering firms, where the goal is to incorporate scientific and technological information from engineering design teams into working drafts, drawings, and schematics. For architectural firms, these technicians maintain roles which involve investigating necessary technology and limitations in construction. They typically work with contractors and construction design teams to assess structural needs which may be based on the function of the building, as well as examine expected "stressors" which may impact the completed structure. The technicians then develop drawings using computer-aided drafting(CAD) for the small, discrete sections which require this special attention. 1, record 6, English, - architectural%20technician

Alors que les membres des Premières Nations au Canada commençaient à s’habituer à l’existence de la Fraternité nationale des Indiens (FNI) et à son rôle de représentante du statut du peuple autochtone, les Chefs ont entamé des discussions concernant une restructuration importante du secrétariat. Ils souhaitaient mettre sur pied un organisme vraiment représentatif et responsable des communautés membres.

The Earth's upper atmosphere, beginning only 10-15 km above the surface, remains a frontier largely unexplored from space. The goal of upper atmosphere research is to understand the chemistry, dynamics, and energy balance above the troposphere as well as the coupling between these processes and between atmosphere regions. This implies an understanding of the mechanisms that control upper atmosphere structure and variability, as well as an understanding of how the upper atmosphere responds to natural and man-made causes. Together, these will help define the role of the upper atmosphere in climate and climate variability. The UARS [Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite] platform provides simultaneous, coordinated measurements of atmospheric internal structure(trace constituents, physical dynamics, radiative emission, thermal structure, density) and measurements of the external influences acting upon the upper atmosphere(solar radiation, tropospheric conditions, electric fields). 2, record 13, English, - Earth%27s%20upper%20atmosphere

GLOBEC is an implemented programme that was developed and sponsored by SCOR, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC), the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea(ICES) and the North Pacific Marine Science Organization(PICES). GLOBEC has the goal to advance our understanding of the structure and functioning of the global ocean ecosystem, its major subsystems, and its response to physical forcing, to where we can develop the capability to forecast the marine upper tropic system response to scenarios of global change. 2, record 14, English, - Global%20Ocean%20Ecosystem%20Dynamics
