In estimating an extraneous maximum residue level the JMPR [Joint Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO)/World Health Organization(WHO) Meeting on Pesticide Residues] attempts to take into account a number of factors. These include the amount of data, the relative importance of the commodity in international trade, the potential for trade difficulties or accounts thereof, the frequency of positive results, a knowledge of the propensity of a particular crop to take up residues, e. g., the uptake of DDT [dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane] by carrots, historical monitoring data...

Types of technique used, for example, in technological forecasting, which begin with a consideration of the likely future structure and needs of society, and then consider the developments necessary to create that structure and meet those needs. On the other hand, exploratory forecasting techniques make projections based on present knowledge of a technology or product without trying to take into account the likely overall future picture. Particular techniques of technological forecasting include brain-storming, the Delphi approach, morphological research, the scenario writing approach, and technological trend extrapolation.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence

DEF

Diagnosis at the epistemic level. It distinguishes three phases in the inference of a knowledge state : direct assignment of credit and blame(determining which knowledge elements have been directly involved in the available account of behavior), structural consistency(broadcasting of repercussions of this direct recognition on the rest of the knowledge state), and longitudinal consistency(updating of the existing student model according to new information).

Ce sont le traçage de modèles, la reconstruction procédurale ou non procédurale, et la reconnaissance d'objectifs pédagogiques en tant qu'éléments du curriculum.

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

Brown et al.(1982) reflect on the use of quantitative simulation for making inferences and see it as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the simulation provides a lot of leverage to the inference process, because large amounts of knowledge are encoded in the model and brought to bear via the simulation. On the other hand, this embedded knowledge is often based on implicit assumptions and empirical decisions on the part of the model' s designers, which may be very subtle. For instance, the formulas used to run the simulation may only be valid for certain classes of inputs. If these assumptions are not made "explicit and checkable", they can easily be violated when the simulation involves faults. For teaching purposes, the main drawback of quantitative simulation is its inability to give a full account of the causality underlying its inferences. Causality is pedagogically important because it is the main ingredient of the kinds of explanations human students can understand. In a troubleshooting context, causality, more than information content, drives the diagnostic reasoning and the decision to perform measurements.
