English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Soil Science
DEF

The typically clean field-collected soil that is selected for use in a particular study or toxicity test with one or more samples or test soil.

CONT

Reference soil used in a test frequently exhibits physical and chemical properties(e. g., texture, total organic carbon, pH, etc.) closely matching those of the test soil sample(s) except that it is free of the contamination being assessed. Reference soil is used to describe matrix effects in the test, and may also be used as a diluent to prepare a series of exposure concentrations of the test soil.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Science du sol
DEF

En général, sol non contaminé prélevé sur le terrain et utilisé dans une étude ou un essai toxicologique particulier sur un des échantillons de sol d'essai.

OBS

Un sol de référence présente souvent des propriétés physiques et chimiques (p. ex., texture, teneur en carbone organique total, pH) très comparables à celles de l'échantillon ou des échantillons de sol d'essai, sauf qu'il est exempt du contaminant étudié. On s'en sert pour décrire les effets de matrice dans l'essai; il peut aussi être utilisé comme diluant dans la préparation d'une série de concentrations d'exposition au sol d'essai.

CONT

Matching simulated ante-mortem and post-mortem dental radiographs from human skulls by dental students and experts :... This simulated test sample may identify dental students and dentists with abilities for pattern recognition and thus help in the decision on who might be included as part of a forensic dental team when extra help is needed.

Domaine(s)
  • Dentisterie
  • Droit de la preuve
  • Gestion des urgences
CONT

Les dents sont les pièces du squelette qui sont utilisées le plus fréquemment à l'identification (odontologie légale) puisque l'on dispose, généralement, d'archives dentaires ante mortem, que l'on peut superposer aux radiographies dentaires ante et post mortem permettant de rechercher les coïncidences tant de la morphologie dentaire que de leurs restaurations.

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Documents and Works
  • Psychology (General)
CONT

Culture-fair testing : Any intelligence test that makes use of language is likely to be culturally biased. Consequently, attempts have been made to produce language-free culture-fair tests that would be equally difficult for members of any culture. Initial efforts generally relied on pictures and nonverbal instructions, but these still tended to favor some cultures... there are tests that are self-explanatory and do not require pictures of familiar objects. One of the most widely used culture-fair tests is the Raven Progressive Matrices Test... In this test... people from cultures in which fill-in or matching exercises are more common may be more likely to do well than people from other cultures. To date [1982], no one test has been developed that is completely culture-fair.

OBS

Related terms : culture-fair testing, intelligence test, culturally biased, language-free culture-fair test, nonverbal instruction, matching exercise, fill-in exercise.
