The Snellen chart serves as a portable tool to quickly assess monocular and binocular visual acuity.... The Snellen chart uses a geometric scale to measure visual acuity, with normal vision at a distance being set at 20/20. A standard Snellen eye chart is 22 inches wide by 11 inches tall. The numerator represents the distance that the patient is standing from the chart(in feet), while the denominator represents the distance from which a person with perfect eyesight is still able to read the smallest line that the patient can clearly visualize. 1, record 1, English, - Snellen%20eye%20chart

Le tableau de Snellen, composé de lettres ou de symboles de différentes tailles, est le principal outil d'évaluation de l'acuité visuelle. Lors d'un examen oculaire, on demande à un individu de lire les lettres du tableau à une distance donnée, généralement 20 pieds dans le cas de l'évaluation de la vision 20/20. La fraction représente le rapport entre la distance entre le sujet et le tableau et la distance à laquelle une personne ayant une vision «normale» peut lire la même ligne de lettres. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20Snellen

Simulated annealing is a method for solving unconstrained and bound-constrained optimization problems. The method models the physical process of heating a material and then slowly lowering the temperature to decrease defects, thus minimizing the system energy. At each iteration of the simulated annealing algorithm, a new point is randomly generated. The distance of the new point from the current point, or the extent of the search, is based on a probability distribution with a scale proportional to the temperature. 1, record 3, English, - simulated%20annealing%20algorithm

The scale quantifies the effects of an earthquake on the Earth's surface, humans, objects of nature, and man-made structures on a scale of I through XII, with I denoting not felt, and XII total destruction. The values will differ based on the distance to the earthquake, with the highest intensities being around the epicentral area. Data is gathered from individuals who have experienced the quake, and an intensity value will be given to their location. 2, record 16, English, - Mercalli%20scale

L'échelle de Rossi-Forel a subi de nombreux remaniements. Le premier important a été fait par Mercalli en 1888. Il remarqua que, surtout pour les divisions supérieures, l'échelle précédente n'était pas assez précise pour différencier les intensités sismiques avec autant de détails qu'il était souhaitable et il proposa une échelle à douze divisions. En 1904, Cancani suggéra que les degrés de l'échelle de Mercalli devaient être en relation avec l'accélération maximale du séisme, ainsi il donnait une signification quantitative à l'échelle [...] 2, record 16, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20Mercalli

Triggered conformational changes... are the motions of groups of atoms(i. e. individual side-chains) or whole sections of a protein(i. e. loops of chain, domains of secondary and tertiary structure, or subunit), which occur as a response to a specific stimulus. The distance moved can be as much as 10 [angstrom unit] or more. The time scale can be estimated by studies of the rate of binding or turnover reactions. The energy for triggered conformational change comes from specific interactions, such as electrostatic attractions or hydrogen bonding interactions. The best-known example of a triggered conformational change is the transition in tertiary structure that occurs when ligands bind to the iron atoms of hemoglobin. 1, record 21, English, - triggered%20conformational%20change

The geographic parallels are represented by a second system of straight lines perpendicular to the family of lines representing the meridians.... Conformality is achieved by mathematical analysis, the spacing of the parallels being increased with increasing distance from the equator to conform with the expending scale along the parallels resulting from the meridians being represented by parallel lines. 1, record 35, English, - Mercator%20projection
