The [Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation] selected five indicators for the SII [social inclusion index] dwelling satisfaction, neighbourhood satisfaction, satisfaction with feeling part of the community, sense of safety and economic hardship. A single-factor SII structure based on these five selected items indicated a good fit of the model to the data. In other words, the findings suggested that dwelling and neighbourhood satisfaction, feeling part of the community, sense of safety, and economic hardship are related in a way that represents a common underlying construct, although the extent to which this construct measures social inclusion warrants further research.  1, record 1, English, - good%20fit%20of%20the%20model

La [Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement] a sélectionné cinq indicateurs pour l'IIS_{d'inclusion sociale} : la satisfaction à l'égard du logement, la satisfaction à l'égard du quartier, la satisfaction à l'égard du sentiment d'appartenance à la communauté, le sentiment de sécurité et les difficultés économiques. Une structure d'IIS à un seul facteur fondée sur ces cinq éléments sélectionnés semble indiquer une bonne adéquation du modèle aux données. En d'autres termes, les résultats donnent à penser que la satisfaction à l'égard du logement et du quartier, le sentiment d'appartenance à la communauté, le sentiment de sécurité et le confort économique sont associés de telle sorte qu'ils représentent un concept commun sous-jacent, même si le degré auquel ce concept mesure l'inclusion sociale nécessite des recherches plus approfondies.  1, record 1, French, - bonne%20ad%C3%A9quation%20du%20mod%C3%A8le

The Palmer Index was developed by Wayne Palmer in the 1960s and uses temperature and rainfall information in a formula to determine dryness. It has become the semi-official drought index. The Palmer Index is most effective in determining long term drought-a matter of several months-and is not as good with short-term forecasts(a matter of weeks). It uses a 0 as normal, and drought is shown in terms of minus numbers; for example, minus 2 is moderate drought, minus 3 is severe drought, and minus 4 is extreme drought.... The Palmer Index can also reflect excess rain using a corresponding level reflected by plus figures; i. e., 0 is normal, plus 2 is moderate rainfall, etc.  8, record 5, English, - Palmer%20drought%20severity%20index

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The most universal continuous detector for liquid chromatography is the differential refractometer. This detector is universal only to the extent that one can select an eluent the refractive index of which differs from that of the solutes. Pure eluent flows through one cell of the detector while column effluent flows through the other cell. When a solute with a refractive index different from that of the solvent enters the detector, an imbalance occurs, which is transmitted to the recorder. The differential refractometers are relatively insensitive to trace and minor components, and detector stability is greatly affected by small temperature and flow fluctuations, thus requiring very good flow and temperature controls.  3, record 9, English, - differential%20refractometer
