Creeping line search pattern. The creeping line search pattern is similar to the parallel patterns. The parallel pattern search legs are aligned with the major, or longer, axis of the rectangular search areas, whereas the search legs of the creeping line pattern are aligned with the minor or shorter axis of rectangular search areas. The creeping line pattern is used when : a) the search area is narrow, long, and fairly level, b) the probable location of the target is thought to be on either side of the search track within two points, or c) there is a need for immediate coverage of one end of the search area. 3, record 1, English, - creeping%20line%20pattern

Parallel track search. This procedure is normally used when :(a) the search area is large and fairly level;(b) only the approximate location of the target is known; and(c) a uniform coverage is desired. The aircraft proceeds to a corner of the search area and, flying at the allotted height, sweeps the area maintaining parallel tracks, the first of which is at a distance equal to the sweep width from the side of the rectangular area. Successive tracks are flown parallel to each other but at twice the sweep width apart. This type of search may be carried out by one aircraft or by several aircraft flying parallel tracks or each searching smaller rectangular areas separately. 1, record 3, English, - parallel%20track%20search

Ratissage par passes parallèles. Cette procédure est normalement utilisée : a) lorsque la zone de recherches est vaste et que le relief est peu accusé; b) lorsque seule la position approximative de l'objectif est connue; et c) lorsqu'on désire une couverture uniforme. Les aéronefs de recherches se dirigent vers un angle de la zone de recherches et ils ratissent la zone en suivant des trajectoires parallèles à l'altitude assignée, la première passe étant effectuée à une distance de la limite de la zone égale à la largeur de la bande de ratissage. Les passes suivantes sont parallèles à la première mais elles sont séparées par une distance égale au double de la largeur de la bande de ratissage. Ce type de ratissage peut être effectué par un seul aéronef ou par plusieurs aéronefs qui suivent des trajectoires parallèles, ou bien chaque aéronef peut ratisser une zone rectangulaire moins vaste. 1, record 3, French, - ratissage%20par%20passes%20parall%C3%A8les

The relative ease of dissemination [of biological weapons] affects the level of effort and scale of preparation required... Unlike the chemical poisons which, for mass dissemination, require complete weapon systems of a type not likely to be available to terrorist organizations, use of biological pathogens is virtually identical with certain biological weapons applications which do not require massive weaponry... The search capability of the aerosol cloud(it seeks out its victims) ;its potential for large area coverage; and the fact that the respiratory form of most diseases, the form resulting from aerosol particle inhalation, is usually the most severe form, are the factors which make biological weapons aerosols truly mass destruction weapons. 1, record 6, English, - aerosol%20cloud

SFI is Alberta's welfare program. It includes temporary income support to ensure people with no other resources have access to food, clothing, shelter, and health services. SFI generally provides a standard allowance, a shelter allowance, and health coverage. In some cases, additional special benefits may be available for training and job search, emergencies, or medical and children's needs. Rates vary by the number of adults and children in a household, and by how soon the client is expected to return to the workforce. 1, record 7, English, - Supports%20for%20Independence

To make the search computationally tractable, DEBUGGY assumes that the simple bugs that interact to form multiple ones can also be detected individually. This means that there exists at least one problem in which either the simple bugs appear in isolation or the complex bug is consistent with their individual manifestations. On this assumption, the generate-and-test method is first used to construct an initial hypothesis space. Every primitive bug is tested, plus a few very common combinations, and only those for which there is evidence in the data are kept. The initial hypothesis space is further reduced by eliminations of certain overlaps in coverage, with preference for multiple over single evidence. Next, the bugs in this initial hypothesis space are combined, and every combination that explains more than its parts is retained in the set of hypotheses. 1, record 8, English, - initial%20hypothesis%20space
