SIDE DEAL [9 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

By higher-level goals I mean goals that describe what the interaction is all about : The tutor is trying to communicate a body of information to the student; the tutor wants the student to learn the material; if the student is having difficulties, the tutor wants to find the underlying misconceptions and deal with them. These goals are intertwined into a structure that gives overall guidance to the tutor's entire interaction with the student. Learners also have comparable high-level goal structures that guide the interaction from their side.

CONT

The design of a side chair is fairly basic, but incredibly flexible. In order to be considered a true side chair, the chair need only be armless and have a straight back. Beyond that, a furniture designer has a great deal of licence when putting a side chair together.

OBS

Big Sisters and Big Brothers were agencies in Ottawa that provided adult friends and mentors to girls and boys in need in order to enable them to achieve their full potential as young men and women. Studies have shown that mentoring is the most effective way of helping a youngster deal positively with the challenges of growing up. For almost 30 years, these two agencies operated side by side in the Greater Ottawa Area. Now, we are one organization, with an aim to improve service delivery, expand the number of children we serve and present a more coherent fact to clients, funders and the general public alike.

OBS

First title confirmed by the organization.

OBS

À l'origine, les Grandes Sœurs et les Grands Frères étaient deux agences distinctes à Ottawa. Leur mission était de fournir des amis et des mentors adultes aux filles et aux garçons qui en ont besoin afin de leur permettre de réaliser leur plein potentiel en tant que jeunes hommes et femmes. Les résultats de diverses études révèlent que le mentorat constitue le moyen le plus efficace d'aider une jeune personne à faire face aux défis des étapes de la croissance de façon positive. Depuis près de 30 ans ces deux agences ont assuré leurs services côte à côte dans l'Ottawa métropolitain. Maintenant devenue une seule agence fusionnée, nous tenons à respecter trois principaux objectifs, à savoir améliorer la prestation de services, offrir nos services à davantage d'enfants et faire profiter les clients, les agences de financement et le grand public d'un système davantage cohérent.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

A sweep ramp provides the tuning voltage for a voltage-tuned oscillator and is simultaneously applied to the horizontal-deflection system of a cathode-ray-tube display. The local-oscillator frequency is mixed with the input signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is detected, filtered, and applied to the vertical deflection plates of the CRT [cathode-ray-tube].

CONT

The receiver has to have suitable pass band characteristics to deal with the pulse modulation side bands, and must be free from paralysis following reception of a large signal... Its output is rectified and amplified and applied to the cathode-ray tube display, either as a deflexion or an intensity modulation. The cathode-ray tube is also supplied with a range time base..., synchronized to the pulse transmission, and suitable calibration devices... are usually also necessary. The form of the display unit depends on the particular radar application, and on what coordinate or coordinates other than range are to be presented. For example, in the plan position indicator the time base starts from the centre of the tube and goes radically outwards in a direction depending on the azimuth of the beamed aerials(which sweeps continuously), and the signal is presented as a spot intensifier.

Le député ne conviendra-t-il donc pas que nous pouvons beaucoup faire pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, que les provinces doivent être convaincues de participer à cet effort, ainsi que les entreprises, les particuliers, et que le Protocole de Kyoto, en soi, n'est pas une panacée?

The reproductive performance as a whole thus tends to become stabilized at a level which is adequate for maintenance but still allows the retention of a great deal of variability and of wide differences in fitness between individuals... characters become stabilized around means with distinct genetic and environmental tails on each side... This is the result of what may be called 'stabilizing selection’.
