Three-dimensional(3D) seismic surveys utilise 2D grids of seismic sources and receivers deployed on the ground surface. The seismic response of the ground is recorded as a time series corresponding to each source-receiver pair, and the wave propagation time becomes the third dimension of the data set.... If a 3D seismic survey is repeated at several time intervals, this historical time(as opposed to the wave propagation time) becomes a fourth dimension, hence the name 4D or time-lapse seismic. The 4D approach allows a detailed description of the evolution of the reservoir, but the overall cost of the survey escalates rapidly by repeating conventional 3D surveys. 4, record 9, English, - time%2Dlapse%20seismic

Dans une économie hyperinflationniste, pour être utiles, les états financiers au coût historique établis dans la monnaie nationale sont retraités au moyen d'un indice général des prix de manière à prendre en compte les effets de l'hyperinflation. Il est également possible de retraiter, à l'aide d'un indice général des prix, les états financiers établis selon une comptabilité au coût actuel. Dans ce dernier contexte, les expressions comptabilité indexée sur le niveau général des prix (general price-level accounting), ou simplement comptabilité indexée, peuvent suffire pour désigner la comptabilité au coût actuel indexé. Toutefois, elles désignent le plus souvent la comptabilité au coût historique indexé. 1, record 11, French, - comptabilit%C3%A9%20index%C3%A9e%20sur%20le%20niveau%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral%20des%20prix
