The validity of comparisons with this type of control group is suspect because the historical group is likely to differ from the current group in its composition, diagnosis, disease severity, measurement of outcomes, or other important ways that could influence the research findings.

Interactions between trees and urban environment have been studied by many authors... With pertinent trees planting, several improvements are expectable for aesthetic, visual, historical or symbolic purpose, for runoff, noise and pollutant control and from a microclimatic point of view. Some of these actions seem be obvious but it should be noticed that few information are available from literature for precise quantitative results. Most of existing results are based on measurements and can be considered only as specific data in a certain context. What happens if vegetation is introduced in a mineral space or if a building is constructed instead of a park? Extrapolations of measurements are often not possible, so only numerical simulations can afford advice to urban planners on the way they may improve urban environment. 1, record 7, English, - mineral%20space

[Il est] possible de distinguer de manière presque fiable (problème des sols nus) les espaces à composante végétale des espaces «minéraux». L'extraction de l'espace bâti ne peut être effectué à partir de ces seuls indices. En effet, on retrouve des formes de bâti urbain dans les zones à composante végétale. Par exemple, les zones pavillonnaires se caractérisent par une coexistence étroite entre de la végétation et des maisons. Le bâti urbain est par conséquent difficile à extraire. De la même manière, l'espace «minéral» est loin d'être homogène. Tout ce qui est «minéral» ne saurait être authentifié comme appartenant à de l'espace bâti (l'exemple des champs labourés est à ce point révélateur). Dans ces conditions, il s'agit de faire appel à de nouveaux critères pour extraire la composante «bâti» des espaces à dominante végétale et minérale à l'aide des images SPOT. On peut considérer en effet que l'espace bâti se distingue des autres espaces par sa texture. Prenons l'exemple d'une zone périurbaine où se côtoient des espaces bâtis, des champs labourés, des espaces à dominante végétale. Un champs labouré (minéral), une forêt (végétal), auront une texture relativement homogène, c'est-à-dire des valeurs de réponses de pixels proches. Un espace pavillonnaire quant à lui, sera constitué par une combinaison de valeurs de pixels distinctes les unes des autres. 3, record 7, French, - espace%20min%C3%A9ral
