Record 1 2023-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Underwater Diving (Sports)
CONT

As stated above, recreational dive planners are for "no-decompression" diving. That's unfortunately a rather ambiguous term because, of course, we do decompress as we ascend to the surface again. What it really means is that the data in the tables shows the length of time you can stay at a certain depth and still be able to ascend without making mandatory scheduled "decompression stops. "

English

Subject field(s)
  • Epidemiology
  • Hygiene and Health
CONT

An eradication strategy for COVID-19 is a profoundly different approach to what we’d normally do with influenza ... with eradication, you go full out at the start, and you eliminate the chains of transmission.

French

  • Épidémiologie
  • Hygiène et santé

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Record 3 2014-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Management Operations
CONT

So what we have captured is to think about whether what we develop is hard-shell or soft-shell organizations. Exogenous or endogenous organizations.... A soft-shell organization is built on the assumption that there are no perfect processes. And, therefore, what you have to do is allow professionals enough discretion between the processes and within them to flex them, where necessary, to avoid the catastrophe.

  • Opérations de la gestion

Record 4 2011-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surveillance and Formalities (Air Transport)
CONT

The computer is nothing more than a fast idiot, and cannot think for itself. For this reason, we must communicate with it by means of messages of rigid format that it has been programmed to understand. No matter what you ask the computer to do or check, you must ask it in a set format that it can understand.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Contrôles et formalités (Transport aérien)
CONT

Il s'agit ni plus ni moins d'un idiot aux mécanismes rapides : il ne peut penser par lui-même. C'est pourquoi il faut communiquer avec lui au moyen de messages rigoureusement structurés que sa programmation lui permet de comprendre. Quoi que vous lui demandiez de faire ou de vérifier, la question doit être présentée dans un format qu'il pourra comprendre.
