Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
CONT

Hatching troughs are usually made of sheets of aluminium or stainless steel; their dimensions vary, but they are segmented by partitions across the middle, each segment having a drain and an inlet pipe. The segments make it possible to separate eggs in different stages of development. The eggs are kept in 7. 5 cm deep baskets, made of 0. 6 cm meshed hardware cloth and suspended by wire from the side of the trough, so that the water line is below the top of the basket.... Six to ten days are required for catfish eggs to hatch...

Excluding raw material cost, durum wheat protein requirements in the pasta industry will vary, depending upon processing systems, manufacturers’ quality philosophy, consumer demands, product line, raw material availability, blending capabilities(with common wheat or wheat of differing origins), etc. In general, however, a minimum protein content for durum wheat destined for pasta manufacturing is about 14 to 15 percent dry matter basis. Due to loss of protein during the milling process, the corresponding semolina protein content would be 13 to 14 percent dry matter basis.

Selon la norme générale, la teneur en protéines doit être supérieure ou égale à 40 % (sur l'extrait sec) pour que le produit ait droit à l'appellation MPV [matières protéiques végétales]. Le gluten de blé doit avoir une teneur minimale en protéines de 80 %. Quant au soja, le pourcentage varie selon qu'il s'agisse de farines (entre 50 et 65 % du poids sec), de concentrats (entre 65 % et 90 % du poids sec) ou d'isolats (au moins 90 % du poids sec).

  • Computer Graphics
DEF

De-interlacing [through] line doublers and comb filters whose processing strategy or formula varies, where coincidentally the optimum processing depends on whether the subject matter depicted was stationary/steady or moving/changing.

OBS

The best devices may vary their processing dozens of times within a single scan line. The device must digitize several video fields, save(buffer) them on a rolling basis, and compare the content in small groups of pixels to determine whether subject matter was moving or not.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vidéotechnique
  • Télévision (Radioélectricité)
  • Infographie
DEF

Désentrelacement au moyen de doubleurs de lignes et de filtres en peigne dont les stratégies de calculs varient, compte tenu que le traitement optimal dépend du mouvement ou de l'immobilité des trames analysées.

OBS

Un désentrelacement adaptatif est un algorithme plus avancé qui recherche une séquence d'images pour déterminer si une zone est immobile ou en mouvement. Lorsque les pixels sont immobiles, les trames sont simplement combinées, sans fondu. S'ils sont en mouvement, les trames sont fondues ensemble. Cette technique produit les meilleurs résultats visuels, mais est lourde à calculer.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Video Technology
CONT

Of the standards surveyed, measurement procedures for evaluating the resolution of a visual display involve luminance modulation or line-width measurements. There is some agreement among the standards that resolution measurements be performed in a darkened room with test patterns displayed at the maximum luminance. For color displays, resolution measurements of tricolor white are usually required, and line width is measured at the full-width-half-maximum of the luminance profile. However, line-width measurement methods vary in several ways. Most standards specify line width to be measured across one-pixel wide lines, while others specify character stroke width to be measured across a variety of text characters of various pixel widths including "M, ""H, "and "m. "Standards intended for testing stand-alone CRTs exclude video amplifier effects on line width by restricting the measurement to raster scan lines.

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Biology
CONT

The inflorescence of a Euphorbia is condensed to simulate a single flower, this type of inflorescence being known as a cyathium (plural cyathia).

CONT

The cyathium is more or less cup-shaped, the rim of which has four nectar secreting glands which vary in shape between different species. Several minute male flowers, which are not much more than single stamens attached to a long pedicel(flower stalk), and subtended by a feather-like bract, which line the inside of the cyathium. The female flower, which is made up of three united carpels and is borne on a long pedicel, develops within the centre of the cup-like cyathium.

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

Vegetation monitoring has been one of the main focal points of remote sensing study since remote sensing research began. Many vegetation indices, using red and infrared reflectance, have been devised. The Perpendicular Vegetation Index(PVI), Ratio Index and Normalized Vegetation Index are among the well known indices of this type. The Perpendicular Vegetation Index, proposed by Richardson and Wiegand(1977), was defined as the distance from the soil line on a scatter plot of near infrared(NIR) versus red reflectance. The pixel vectors of bare land in such plots vary with soil moisture content. The PVI was developed as a vegetation index to effectively monitor the vegetation biomass without being affected by differences in soil background.

OBS

perpendicular vegetation index; PVI: term and abbreviation officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

  • Plant and Crop Production

CONT

The 3-way hybrid involves a total of 3 inbred lines. Two inbreds are first used to generate a single cross hybrid. The single cross hybrid is then used as the female parent in a cross with a third inbred line, resulting in the 3-way cross. As with the double-cross hybrid, individuals in the population of the 3-way cross are not all the same genetically, and thus vary phenotypically. Seed is cheaper than for the single cross hybrid, for the female parent from which the 3-way hybrid seed is harvested is a single cross hybrid.
