... the geological survey [used] two and a half dimensional(2. 5D) techniques... for producing shaded relief maps... The 2. 5D model makes it possible to create a shaded relief using a digital terrain model, taking into account the relative position of the sun, shadows, and vertical exaggeration. The resulting visual impression of topographical relief increases map readability. 1, record 1, English, - two%20and%20a%20half%20dimensional

[...] la commission géologique [...] a élaboré, au moyen de techniques en deux dimensions et demie (2,5D), une nouvelle procédure pour produire des cartes au relief par ombres portées [...] Le modèle 2,5D permet de créer un relief par ombres portées au moyen d'un modèle numérique du terrain en tenant compte de la position relative du soleil, des ombres et de l'exagération de l'échelle verticale. L'impression visuelle de relief topographique ainsi obtenue rend la carte plus lisible. 1, record 1, French, - en%20deux%20dimensions%20et%20demie

Increase of mesh size. As expected, the increase in [fish] biomass and catch was smaller in the case of mesh size of 70 mm than with the use of a mesh size of 80 mm... When the gillnet mesh size was increased by 20 mm(from 60 to 80 mm), overall biomass increased significantly, about 43 [percent] within two years. According to the model results, in the first year after the onset of the new mesh-size restriction, the gillnet catch fell to one half of the previous annual catch, but then rose again and levelled off at a higher level in a few years. 1, record 2, English, - mesh%2Dsize%20restriction

L'une des mesures à envisager est l'imposition de restrictions sur le maillage, à des fins de conservation. [...] Quelques pays demandent [...] des mailles de forme carrée qui restent ouvertes durant le chalutage, sauf si elles subissent une pression très forte. On peut donc se demander quel est l'intérêt d'imposer des restrictions sur le maillage, à des fins de conservation, lorsque l'on utilise des engins traînés, étant donné qu'il est difficile de garantir leur bon fonctionnement. Avec les filets maillants et les filets emmêlants, le cas est différent et la restriction sur le maillage peut être un facteur de conservation important [...] 1, record 2, French, - restriction%20sur%20le%20maillage

From the model estimates, countries can be grouped roughly into net receivers or net donators of sulfur pollution.

En se basant sur les estimations des modèles, on peut grossièrement grouper les pays entre importateurs nets et exportateurs nets de pollution par le soufre. Les estimations portant sur l'année 1974 montrent que l'éventail s'étend des pays pour lesquels les dépôts égalent trois fois les émissions jusqu'aux pays pour lesquels les émissions égalent trois fois les dépôts. Pour environ la moitié des pays ayant participé à l'étude, le dépôt total estimé dépassait, en 1974, les émissions nationales. 3, record 5, French, - exportateur%20net

This does not, however, change the overall picture, which shows a considerable transport of sulfur pollutants over the national borders in Europe. The total deposition in a given country, which is due to foreign emissions of sulfur deposition, depends on the size and geographical position of the country in relation to the major emission sources. From the model estimates, countries can be grouped roughly into net receivers or net donators of sulfur pollution. The study showed that in half of the countries the major part of total estimated deposition in 1974 originated from foreign emissions.
