Record 5 1997-06-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistics
  • Air Pollution
  • Meteorology
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Any data that have been accumulated from prior periods.

CONT

The causal relationship between certain detrimental effects and acid precipitation, including its accompanying pollutants, can usually be proven by means of comparisons using historical or chronological data or by means of experiments in laboratories.

CONT

... scientists are using models based on fragmentary historical data or paleolimnology. ... One has to be careful in using historical data. First, methods of measurement may have been different, or even imperfect, so as to give deviating results. And even if chronological data show increasing acidification, this might be a natural process for the region involved, although this is not very likely.

CONT

The Fuzzy Temporal Relational database provides a structure for incorporating current and historical information on student's knowledge, performance capabilities, instructional goals, etc.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Statistique
  • Pollution de l'air
  • Météorologie
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
CONT

[...] la concentration en sulfate, en aluminium et en manganèse augmente tandis que le pH et l'alcalinité diminuent. Il est donc possible en étudiant l'évolution de la qualité de l'eau d'identifier les lacs en voie d'acidification ou acidifiés. Malheureusement, les données historiques sont souvent incomplètes ou imprécises.

OBS

Selon M. Richard Adams de la section de traduction de Statistique Canada, on emploie maintenant données historiques au lieu de données chronologiques.

Record 6 1994-12-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Personnel and Job Evaluation
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)
CONT

Some fuzzy decisions can be clarified by the availability of historical data. For example the tutor often needs to discriminate "slips" from true knowledge deficits, as a less intrusive tutorial response is made for slips. This inference can be made easily when historical performance data is available.

Record 7 1994-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

A cognitive device in learning and diagnosis (ODYSSEUS).

CONT

The selection of a particular strategy is based on the information provided... by the performance evaluator which gives a historical view concerning how well the student has mastered the relevant concepts.

CONT

The elements are the forward transfer element (FIE), the performance evaluation element or critic (PEEL) the system parameter transformation element, and the input and output functions. ... The nature of the performance evaluation (PEEL) determines the character of the system as it contains the goal orientation of the system ... The PEEL is then said to contain the goals and constraints of the system’s operation and it maps the input and output functions into a set of measures Z, which indicate the performance of the system.

OBS

The PEEL or critic is often called the teacher as its function is to provide an input to the system that tells it whether its behaviour is proper or not.

CONT

Dans la plupart des cas, l'étude détaillée des performances d'une éolienne sur un site donné devra comporter la pratique d'une campagne de mesure du vent sur le site (probablement pendant au moins une année) et une étude climatologique entreprise à partir des stations du voisinage.
