... a method developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service for calculating summertime streamflow recommendations based on median monthly mean flows for August. 2, record 1, English, - aquatic%20base%20flow%20method
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Used primarily in New England, the Aquatic Base Flow method uses historic flow data to determine the median flow for the lowest flow month(typically August or September), and applies that level to the remainder of the year... This approach assumes that a specific flow rate per unit of watershed area will provide an adequate minimum flow. It is simple to use, if historic data is available, but cannot account easily for site-specific biological concerns; nor can the method adequately and defensibly adjust for spawning or incubation. 3, record 1, English, - aquatic%20base%20flow%20method

La donnée extraite de la source écrite est le fruit d'une inversion. Le nom correct de ce parc aurait dû être rétabli et se lire, conformément aux règles d'écriture : parc historique national des Champs-de-Bataille-Nationaux, à Québec. Cependant, il n'existe plus de «parcs historiques nationaux», tous étant devenus «lieu historique national du Canada», administré ou non par Parcs Canada. Ce parc se nomme plutôt le «parc des Champs-de-Batailles-Nationaux»; il est situé à Québec, sur les plaines d'Abraham. 2, record 2, French, - parc%20des%20champs%2Dde%2Dbataille

Traditional signal control systems use pre-stored timing plans that have been developed offline using historic data. These systems are not responsive to dynamic and volitile traffic demands, and deteriorate in performance over time. Adaptive traffic signal control systems are able to adapt to actual traffic conditions, coping with complex flow patterns and unpredictable variations. They seek continuous optimal system performance. 2, record 4, English, - adaptive%20traffic%20signal%20control%20system
