The stringer may be formed as a T, Z, C, L or OMEGA stringer.... the geometry of the skin shell and the stringers can be modified in various ways. Instead of T stringers, OMEGA stringers which are connected to a skin shell in the region of their foot portions may also be used. "Stringer" is intended to mean any kind of stiffening element, that is to say for example a frame.

  • Scientific Information
  • Atomic Physics
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

When the numbers of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom are specified(i. e., both Z and A) the word nuclide sometimes replaces the word atom. For example, "The Chart of Nuclides" is a chart setting out the properties of each distinct atomic type(all the isotopes of each element).

  • Information scientifique
  • Physique atomique
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Lorsqu'on précise le nombre de nucléons dans le noyau des atomes (c.-à-d. Z et A) on utilise parfois le mot nucléide. Par exemple, le «tableau des nucléides» illustre les propriétés de chaque type d'atomes distincts (tous les isotopes de chaque élément).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

A cognitive device in learning and diagnosis (ODYSSEUS).

CONT

The selection of a particular strategy is based on the information provided ... by the performance evaluator which gives a historical view concerning how well the student has mastered the relevant concepts.

CONT

The elements are the forward transfer element(FIE), the performance evaluation element or critic(PEEL) the system parameter transformation element, and the input and output functions.... The nature of the performance evaluation(PEEL) determines the character of the system as it contains the goal orientation of the system... The PEEL is then said to contain the goals and constraints of the system's operation and it maps the input and output functions into a set of measures Z, which indicate the performance of the system.

OBS

The PEEL or critic is often called the teacher as its function is to provide an input to the system that tells it whether its behaviour is proper or not.
