The fillets are sprayed with water that may contain up to 50 ppm total chlorine to reduce bacterial load; then they are conveyed to the trimming table.

Franklin and McDermid(1993) and Franklin et al.(1996) proposed an alternative technique : a geographic window, where dimensions of a moving kernel are customized and are determined by variogram range. The technique proved to be promising and has been applied to derive texture measures like the co-occurrence matrix for image classification as well as first and second order texture and semivariance moment texture(nugget, range, sill, slope, mean semivariance) for LAI [Leaf Area Index] estimation(Wulder et al. 1997). 2, record 3, English, - variogram%20slope

Le variogramme est le plus souvent croissant, c'est-à-dire que les variations radiométriques sont statistiquement plus importantes sur n+1 pixels que sur n pixels. La pente du variogramme est un critère de rugosité : une pente forte caractérise un signal «lisse», sans transitions brutales, tandis qu'une pente faible caractérise un signal «accidenté». Une surface dont le variogramme a une pente constante présente la même texture à toutes les échelles. On dit qu'elle est auto-similaire ou fractale. 1, record 3, French, - pente%20de%20variogramme

Ultrapulse solid state pulse resistance welding is a process in which joints are produced electrically with little heat since the weld is completed in milliseconds. In many cases, ultrapulse welding can join metals where no other process would be practical or feasible. Ultrapulse is resistance welding, but with little or no melted nugget and with very little heat affect. 2, record 4, English, - ultrapulse%20welding

In the early 1930s, the Grain Research Laboratory of the Canadian Grain Commission listed the following quality requirements for durum wheat high test weight, vitreousness, quantity and quality of protein, and high yellow pigment. 1, record 5, English, - high%20yellow%20pigment
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
All of the early Canadian durum wheat varieties had low yellow pigment content by the standards of today(Table 1). However, screening procedures were in place to ensure that yellow pigment levels would improve. Nugget, which was developed in North Dakota, USA, was the first North American durum wheat line released with superior color characteristics. According to Irvine(1965) Nugget had two to three times the yellow pigment content of other Canadian and American durum varieties at that time, and low lipoxygenase activity. Nugget proved to have inferior agronomic performance, so was never widely grown, but it provided a source of high yellow pigment to durum wheat breeders in the subsequent development of successful high yellow pigment varieties. 2, record 5, English, - high%20yellow%20pigment
