In order to model climate data time series that often contain periodic variations, trends, and sudden changes in mean(mean shifts, mostly artificial), this study proposes a hybrid‐domain(HD) algorithm, which incorporates a time domain test and a newly developed frequency domain test through an iterative procedure that is analogue to the well known backfitting algorithm. 1, record 1, English, - backfitting%20algorithm

Deux formes de glace amorphe. La glace amorphe ou glace vitreuse est celle que l'on obtient en réalisant une trempe rapide de l'eau en dessous de 135 K. Elle a la densité de la glace cristalline. Mais il en existe une deuxième forme beaucoup plus dense, laquelle ne pèse pas moins de l,2g/cm³! Découverte seulement en 1984, le moyen de la fabriquer consiste à comprimer des cristaux de glace à basse température. Plus curieux encore : si l'on remonte sa température, cette glace explose littéralement à 125 K après une augmentation de volume de presque 30 %. Elle se transforme alors en une autre forme de glace amorphe dont la densité est proche de celle de la glace cristalline. 1, record 4, French, - glace%20amorphe

... the Menger sponge(called) after its architect, Karl Menger,... has no two-dimensional analogue. Its "holes" are open channels that penetrate the unit cube. Applying the inclusion-exclusion principle, one sees that the generator leaves 27-9+3-1=20 cubes of side length 1/3, giving a Hausdorff dimension... Thus, the Menger sponge is intermediate between Cantor dust and cheese, but closer to the latter, as one might expect. Mandelbrot suggested the Menger sponge independently as a model of intermittency. 2, record 6, English, - Menger%20sponge
