Record 1 2024-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Methods
CONT

The quantitative method focuses on collecting numerical data and analyzing it objectively. It typically involves objective measurement and analysis of data collected through questionnaires, surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data employing computational techniques.

OBS

quantitative method; quantitative research method: designations usually used in the plural.

Key term(s)
  • quantitative methods
  • quantitative research methods

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes de recherche scientifique
OBS

méthode quantitative; méthode de recherche quantitative : désignations habituellement utilisées au pluriel.

Record 2 2014-06-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Equipment
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Geological Research and Exploration
OBS

Microscope objectives use the principle of aplanatic refraction and to reduce the refraction at the front lens of the objective for higher powers, cedar wood oil(refractive index 1. 517) is placed between the cover glass(index 5. 1, say) and the plane surface of the front lens of higher index... Besides aiding aplanatism the numerical aperture is increased by this process, which therefore increases resolving power.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel et équipement (Recherche scientifique)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Recherches et prospections géologiques
DEF

Objectif d'un microscope conçu pour être utilisé avec une goutte d'un liquide réfringent entre l'objet et la face d'entrée de l'objectif.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Material y equipo (Investigación científica)
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
  • Investigaciones y prospecciones geológicas
CONT

[El] oscurecimiento de la imagen puede evitarse, en parte, empleando para los aumentos muy grandes objetivos de inmersión, con los cuales se suprime la capa de aire entre la lente frontal y el objeto o el cubreobjeto interponiendo entre ambos una gotita de líquido (aceite de cedro, por ejemplo) de elevado índice de refracción. Así se evita la pérdida de los rayos de luz desviados por el aire fuera del objetivo.

Record 3 2005-05-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pre-Fire Planning
  • Brush, Prairie and Forest Fires
CONT

Daily Severity Rating-A numerical measure, based on the Fire Weather Index(FWI), specifically designed for averaging, either for any desired period of time(e. g. week, month, year) at a single fire weather station or spatially over a number of stations. The FWI itself, on the other hand, is not considered suitable for averaging, and should be used as its single daily value only. The DSR averaged over a whole fire season is termed the Seasonal Severity Rating(SSR) which can be used as an objective measure for comparing fire weather severity from one season to the next, or the fire climate of one region with another.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévision des incendies
  • Incendies de végétation
DEF

Moyenne de l'Indice journalier de sévérité pour toute la saison des incendies.

OBS

Il peut être calculé pour une station ou une région. Cet indice est considéré comme un critère objectif de comparaison des saisons ou des régions quant à la gravité des conditions météorologiques relativement aux incendies.
