Les termes anglais «slope (ou «gradient») se rendent en français par «pente» (ou «gradient»). Ils indiquent la direction d'une ligne droite dans un graphique. La pente positive monte, indiquant une tendance à la hausse, et la pente négative descend, indiquant une tendance à la baisse. L'abréviation anglaise «ve» fait référence au suffixe qui termine les mots «negative» et «positive». Aucun suffixe de ce type n'est utilisé en français. On peut l'exprimer par une expression du type «pente de + [plus] quelque chose» ou de «pente de - [moins] quelque chose», p. ex. : «pente de +2» ou «pente de -2». 3, record 4, French, - pente%20n%C3%A9gative

A theory of market analysis based upon the performance of the Dow-Jones Industrial and Transportation(stock price) Averages. The theory is that the market is in a basic upward trend if one of these averages advances above a previous important high, accompanied or followed by a similar advance in the other. When both averages dip below previous important lows, this is regarded as confirmation of a basic downward trend. 2, record 5, English, - Dow%20Theory

... encompasses coastal wetlands, major rivers and adjacent uplands of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. It is one of several critical habitat areas identified in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. This plan created in 1986 by the United States and Canada and joined in 1988 by Mexico, is a partnership of local citizens, private companies, conservation organizations, and government agencies. A primary goal of the plan is to reserve the downward trend in waterfowl populations by returning their numbers to those recorded in the 1970s. In order to achieve this goal, the plan works to secure, restore or enhance priority wetlands and maintain some of the current wetland uses to which waterfowl have adapted, such as farming and ranching. 2, record 6, English, - Pacific%20Coast%20Joint%20Venture
