A form of the Michaelis-Menten equation in which reciprocals of both sides are equated to give the linear form, l/V=(Km/Vmax)(1/(S] + 1/Vmax, where V is the reaction velocity,(S) is the substrate concentration, and Km is the Michaelis-Menten constant. A plot of 1/V(the Y coordinate) as a function of 1/(S)(the X coordinate) is a straight line from which Vmax, the maximal velocity, can be determined from the y-intercept(=1/Vmax) and Km which measures the enzyme-substrate affinity, can be determined from the x-intercept(=-1/Km). 1, record 4, English, - Lineweaver%20%2D%20Burk%20equation

It is generally found that natural objects possess self-similarity and self-affinity in their structures. Fractal analysis, a technique based on these properties, has been widely used in various research applications. In the active remote sensing of the earth terrain, it is possible to extract this fractal information from the images obtained. In this application, fractal surface dimension, an important parameter in fractal analysis, can be employed as an additional feature to classify different landuse areas. This fractal surface dimension is generally related to the roughness of the surface. By keeping the x and y coordinates of the pixels of the image, and taking the grey level of each pixel as its z coordinate, a three-dimensional surface can be constructed. The calculation of fractal surface dimension can then be carried out on that surface. 2, record 5, English, - fractal%20analysis

L'apparition des images à très haute résolution spatiale en télédétection a substantiellement compliqué l'analyse automatique des images optiques. La difficulté de l'analyse fractale [Kaplan, 1999], etc. ne semble pas pouvoir s'adapter à toutes les formes de textures. La grande variation locale des niveaux de gris des objets présents dans les images optiques à très haute résolution spatiale, rend obsolètes les méthodes d'analyse précédemment citées. Dans [Pentland, 1984], il est montré que la dimension fractale peut être utilisée pour caractériser des scènes naturelles; toutefois, ce type d'analyse n'est plus efficace lorsque l'image à étudier est très irrégulière. Pour analyser des signaux possédant une régularité variant fortement d'un point à un autre, il est préférable d'utiliser l'analyse multifractale. Nous proposons un nouvelle approche à la segmentation d'images de télédétection basée sur l'analyse des composants fractals de l'image. Elle ne nécessite aucune connaissance a priori sur l'image, et étudie la régularité locale et globale par le biais de l'exposant de Hölder et du spectre multifractal. Les singularités et les irrégularités d'un signal sont souvent porteuses de la plus grande part d'information. 3, record 5, French, - analyse%20fractale

Representing the evolution in time of a dynamic system by left shifts of the digits in a suitable number system brings out another important property of systems for which such a representation is possible. No matter how accurately the initial condition x0</sub> of a coordinate is known, the accuracy will always be finite, that is, the digits of x0</sub> to the right of the last known digit will be unknown. As the dynamic system evolves in time, the unknown digits will be shifted to the left; that is, they will grow in significance, and will sooner or later arrive at the "decimal" point and thus dominate the behavior of the system. And because the digits are unknown, this behavior will be completely unpredictable. The resulting motion is called chaotic. 2, record 13, English, - chaotic

Qualifie une situation qui évolue de façon irrégulière, mais dont les lois sous-jacentes sont relativement simples et ne laissent aucune place au hasard. Ainsi, un régime périodique peut devenir chaotique par intensification de déstabilisations intermittentes, par cascade de doublement de période ou via la quasi-périodicité. S'oppose à «non chaotique». Certains auteurs attribuent à ce terme le sens «erratique», «aléatoire», «désordonné» (sens usuel en langage courant). 2, record 13, French, - chaotique
