Subject field(s)
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)
  • Psychometry and Psychotechnology
DEF

a score that divides those individuals earning scores above and below it into two groups with reference to some purpose or criterion.

DEF

Cut-off point between failure and success in an examination or test.

CONT

Passing score. If it is appropriate for the context of the test, there will be a passing score. There are no convincing arguments for any one cutoff score; rather, the content, context, and type of student will determine the passing level. It will also depend on your intentions for the test. A mastery test will require a very high pass mark, while an ordinary quiz or classroom test is likely to be less stringent. Sometimes a test may have no passing grade at all, as when its intention is to locate areas of weakness rather than to categorize or grade students.

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Wood
  • Wood Products
DEF

Inscription found on grade stamps used to identify a number of Canadian timber species manufactured and marketed together. These species have similar performance properties which make them interchangeable in use.

DEF

Inscription apparaissant sur une estampe utilisée pour identifier une combinaison d'essences de bois d'œuvre canadien manufacturées et vendues ensemble. Ces essences ont des propriétés identiques, ce qui les rend interchangeables pour leur utilisation.

OBS

Selon M. Stéphane Nadeau, de l'Association des manufacturiers de bois de sciage du Québec, «Hem-Fir (N)» prévaut sur le plan du commerce en anglais et en français en raison de l'estampe qui identifie ces espèces. Cependant on a recours de plus en plus à «Pruche-Sapin (N)» dans la documentation commerciale française et canadienne.

Contraction capsulaire. La contraction capsulaire intervient quand le tissu cicatrisant ou la capsule qui se forme normalement autour de l'implant serre et compresse l'implant. Cela peut arriver à un ou aux deux implants. Il y a quatre étapes lors d'une contraction capsulaire connues sous le nom des étapes de Baker. Les étapes de Baker sont les suivantes : étape 1 - le sein est normalement souple et semble naturel; étape 2 - le sein est un peu ferme mais semble naturel; étape 3 - le sein est ferme et semble anormal; étape 4 - le sein est dur, douloureux et semble anormal. La contraction capsulaire peut nécessiter une réopération en général au stade 3 et 4 et elle peut resurgir après.
