Any resulting trial structure consisting of initial coordinates for some of the atoms is often sufficient for location of the other atoms by the application of the method of successive Fourier electron-density maps. The phases calculated from the initial parameters of the presumably known atoms, together with the observed Fhkl, are utilized to compute a density map. New coordinates are obtained not only for the peaks corresponding to these known atoms but also for the other peaks which it is hoped can be interpreted from stereochemical considerations as being due to additional atoms in the structure. The Fourier process is then reiterated, with the new phases calculated from the modified coordinates of the previous set of atoms plus the coordinates of newly located atoms. If a correct distinction between the "true" and the "false" peaks is made, the electron-density function usually converges to give the entire crystal structure. 1, record 6, English, - Fourier%20electron%2Ddensity%20map

Spatial Archive and Interchange Format(SAIF, pronounced safe) is a Canadian geomatics standard for the exchange of geographic data. The underlying model itself is devoid of geographic meaning; rather it deals with fundamental concepts from mathematics and computer science. SAIF uses an object oriented data model, and consists of definitions of the underlying building blocks, including tuples, sets, lists, enumerations, and primitives. It also includes the rules for defining higher level constructs, and the SAIF standard defines a base set of approximately 300 classes. These include such things as Points, Spatial Reference Systems, Map Projections, Arcs, and Polygons. 3, record 10, English, - spatial%20archive%20and%20interchange%20format

Le Réseau canadien de détection de la foudre (RCDF) aide les météorologues et les scientifiques à détecter et suivre les orages dès les premiers stages de leur développement. Quatre-vingt-trois capteurs installés un peu partout sur le territoire constituent la partie canadienne du réseau nord-américain, qui est la plus grande ce ce type au monde. Le réseau canadien peut détecter jusqu'à 100 000 éclairs par heure. En moins de 40 secondes, les capteurs déterminent l'intensité et l'emplacement de l'éclair, envoient cette information aux centres météorologiques d'Environnement Canada, puis présentent ces informations sur une carte projetée sur un écran d'ordinateur. 1, record 11, French, - R%C3%A9seau%20canadien%20de%20d%C3%A9tection%20de%20la%20foudre
