As a result the amplitude does not cross zero, and this reduces the peak to average ratio. This has advantages for power amplifiers because it reduces the peak to average ratio and as a result it is used in the reverse link for CDMA [code division multiple access] transmissions.  1, record 1, English, - offset%20quadrature%20phase%20shift%20keying

[Rather] than having the normal increased number of REM movements during the second half of the night, depressed patients show equal, or greater than equal, amounts of eye movements in the first half of the night. This so-called "shift to the left" and the shortened REM latency suggest that depressed patients have an altered diurnal cycle.(Kupfer, David and Ellen Frank, Depression, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Pittsburgh)  1, record 2, English, - REM%20latency

There has indeed been an interesting shift in the way in which international lawyers and diplomats have looked upon treaties during the last fifty years. A standard work on diplomatic practice was compiled by Sir Ernest Satow half a century ago... The chapters dealing with treaties... were based on the principle of the absolute sanctity of treaties once signed; they could not be altered or abandoned by one party to them without the agreement of the others, national necessities notwithstanding.  1, record 3, English, - sanctity%20of%20treaties

Ainsi, les formes solennelles, rappelant le caractère sacré des engagements conventionnels, qui caractérisaient les traités encore au début du XIXe siècle, si elles n'ont pas entièrement disparu, coexistent aujourd'hui avec des accords administratifs ayant un caractère exclusivement technique; entre ces deux formes extrêmes, toutes les nuances et toutes les combinaisons possibles peuvent être retrouvées. On ne peut même plus parler du principe jadis affirmé de l'unité de l'instrument juridique, puisque les échanges de lettres - forme très couramment utilisée - consistent non plus en un seul texte, mais en deux textes juxtaposés, portant proposition et acceptation de la proposition.  1, record 3, French, - caract%C3%A8re%20sacr%C3%A9%20des%20trait%C3%A9s
