[...] les mécanismes de dégradation des systèmes photovoltaïques conduisent à des pertes de puissance de sortie des panneaux rendant ainsi les dispositifs peu performants. Les écarts de performance peuvent être directement liés à différents mécanismes de dégradation provenant de l'exposition des cellules solaires aux conditions ambiantes ou au vieillissement des composants. 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9canisme%20de%20d%C3%A9gradation

Universal hashing is a technique used in computer science and information theory for designing hash functions. It is a family of hash functions that can be efficiently computed by using a randomly selected hash function from a set of hash functions. The goal of universal hashing is to minimize the chance of collisions between distinct keys, which can lead to degraded performance in hash table operations. 2, record 2, English, - universal%20hashing

Using analytical representations for images, one can develop systematic algorithms for accomplishing a particular image-related task. As an example, model-based optimal estimation-theoretic principles can be applied to find edges in textured images or remove blur and noise from degraded images. Another advantage of using image models is that one can develop techniques to validate a given model for a given image. On the basis of such a validation, the performance of algorithms can be compared. 1, record 3, English, - analytical%20representation
