The dark adaptation test measures the threshold of sensitivity of the retina to a small spot of light after the patient is placed in the dark and typically is measured over a 40 [minute] period.... Any panretinal disease, which causes rod damage or dysfunction may cause night blindness and can be quantified by the dark adaptation test. Measuring the final threshold in several retinal locations after 40 [minutes] of dark adaptation is a good screening procedure for assessing night vision. This test is useful in functionally accessing complaints of night blindness in cases where dysfunction at night has vocational significance. 3, record 1, English, - dark%20adaptation%20test

Le test d'adaptation à l'obscurité permet d'étudier un des éléments de la fonction visuelle. Bien que peu pratiqué, ses indications restent néanmoins variées : pour évaluer l'aptitude à certaines professions, lors du passage du permis de conduire si nécessaire, ou encore, pour compléter le bilan réalisé à l'apparition des premiers signes fonctionnels en vision nocturne. 1, record 1, French, - test%20de%20l%27adaptation%20%C3%A0%20l%27obscurit%C3%A9

The basic defect of the receiving system was its high sensitivity to the reverberation generated by the set's very high power transmissions and the use of rapid scanning to achieve omnidirectional coverage on a single transmission. This effectively precluded the separation of reverberation and noise backgrounds during processing. The only solution to this problem lay in the use of preformed receiving beams(as in Type 177), which allowed this separation, and, indeed, allowed parallel processing of narrow-band channels(cross-correlation or matched-filter processing) to reduce detection threshold and extract [Doppler] information. 1, record 5, English, - narrow%2Dband%20channel

Analyse par règles pour l'extraction de connaissances. Cette approche consiste à utiliser une analyse du texte basée sur des règles décrivant des schémas de relations à rechercher dans le corpus. L'objectif est de repérer les contextes de ces relations dont les contraintes morphosyntaxiques sont décrites dans des règles déclaratives du type : (SI conditions ALORS conclusion). Cette démarche a été appliquée au système SEEK (Jouis, 1995) en se basant sur la grammaire applicative et cognitive de Desclés (1990).
