Another aspect of the US restructuring experience that has been key to the tactics of labour cost compression-a marked widening of income inequality. In 1995, the wages of US male earners were roughly 4, 4 times those of the lower decile... wage dispersion ratio was between 2. 0 and 3. 0 for Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Finland and Australia. The ratio for UK was about 3. 3, and that for Canada about 3. 8. 1, record 1, English, - wage%20dispersion%20ratio

Un autre aspect de l'expérience américaine de restructuration a constitué une pièce maîtresse de la stratégie de réduction des coûts de main-d'œuvre : l'aggravation des inégalités de revenus. En 1995, les travailleurs masculins appartenant au décile le plus élevé gagnaient environ 4,4 fois plus que ceux du décile inférieur [...] le ratio de dispersion des salaires s'échelonnait entre 2,0 et 3,0 pour l'Allemagne, le Japon, l'Italie, la Suède, la Finlande et l'Australie. Ce même ratio s'établissait à environ 3,3 pour le Royaume-Uni et à 3,8 pour le Canada. 1, record 1, French, - ratio%20de%20dispersion%20des%20salaires

Find Normand point. From dry bulb point "x" draw an imaginary line toward the upper left, parallel to dry adiabatic lines. From dew point temperature marked ". "draw another imaginary line upward this time parallel to the mixing ratio line. At the intersection of these two lines, the plotter has placed another small dot.

In practice, it is sensible to work with a spectrometer resolution which is high enough to avoid markedly non-linear calibration curves. This, of course, will increase the required spectrometer scan time, for a given signal/noise ratio in the spectrum, and a compromise may be necessary. The problem will not arise to a marked degree in the case of measurements on liquid samples, although peaks from some types of vibrational modes, e. g. the out of plane deformation modes of the hydrogen atoms attached to aromatic rings, give sharp and analytically useful peaks which are narrow enough to give these non-linear calibration curves. 1, record 3, English, - non%2Dlinear%20calibration%20curve

La zone aveugle et son antidote, l'activation. [...] Il est assez fréquent, notamment en électronique, de constater la synchronisation de deux oscillateurs de fréquences propres très voisines, sous l'effet d'un couplage. Ce phénomène existe dans les gyromètres laser et conduit, en régime permanent, à des courbes d'étalonnages non linéaires [...] Un artifice, appelé activation permet de pallier les inconvénients [...]; ce procédé consiste à faire travailler le gyromètre en permanence ou, à la rigueur, pendant la majeure partie du temps, dans la zone linéaire de sa courbe d'étalonnage traduisant m [(oméga]). 1, record 3, French, - courbe%20d%27%C3%A9talonnage%20non%20lin%C3%A9aire

The ratio of the linear dimensions of the original to those of the final reproduction. References such as "half size", "quarter size", "same size", "size as", etc., relate to area and are therefore confusing and should not be used. Following are examples of preferred methods of marking copy :(a) Per cent--such as 25%(b) Fraction--such as 1/4(c) 0. 25X(d) Dimension marks, such as a line drawn parallel to an 8-inch dimension and marked "2 inches". All these expressions indicate that a linear dimension is to be reduced to 25% of its original length. 1, record 4, English, - reproduction%20ratio

Rapport des dimensions linéaires de l'original à celles de la reproduction finale. Les expressions "moitié", "quart", etc. se rapportent à la surface, elles entraînent donc une confusion et doivent être évitées. Il faut préférer les exemples suivants: a) pourcentage -- exemple: 25% b) fraction -- exemple: 1/4 c) 0.25X d) Marques dimensionnelles (par exemple une ligne parallèle à une dimension de 8 pouces, marquée "2 pouces"). Toutes ces expressions indiquent que les dimensions linéaires doivent être égales à 25% des dimensions originales. 1, record 4, French, - rapport%20de%20reproduction
