DEF

[Instruction using] programs that understand the student’s internal cognitive structures; are able to analyse a student’s answer to a question and determine which parts of the question confuse the student. They then use that information to provide very specific instruction. A system of this type would be a substitute for a very competent and experienced teacher.

CONT

Intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction (ICAI) ... encompasses two primary areas. One is instructional programs that model the learner ... These programs collect detailed data about the student’s work and formulate a hypothesis about what the student knows and is thinking. ... The other area is the use of expert systems ... that contain all known information on a particular topic, a set of logic that ties all this information together ..., and in some cases a program that allows a person to converse easily and in natural language with the computer.

CONT

The components of an ICAI program are problem-solving expertise, student model, and tutoring module.

OBS

For historical reasons, much of the research in the field of educational software involving artificial intelligence has been conducted under the name of "ICAI. "This acronym stands for "Intelligent Computer-Aided Instruction, "a phrase that evolved out of the name "Computer-Aided Instruction"(CAI)... Most recently, "ICAI" has often been replaced by the acronym "ITS, "for "Intelligent Tutoring Systems"....

The effectiveness of KE projectiles decreases at longer ranges, since the projectiles slow down during long flights.

According to Terry Smythe, Historical Research Division, Parks Canada, "chief trader" is a term used by the Hudson's Bay Company to refer to a rank of company officer.

Le projet de recherche sur la Nouvelle Économie Rurale (NÉR) est un programme de recherche et d'éducation en marche au Canada rural depuis 1998. Le projet regroupe des habitants des régions rurales, des chercheurs, des analystes de politiques gouvernementales, des gens d'affaires et des représentants d'agences gouvernementales à tous les niveaux afin d'examiner les questions d'importance vitale pour les régions rurales. Il opère au niveau national par l'entremise d'analystes historiques et statistiques, et au niveau local, par le biais d'études sous forme de sondages menés auprès des localités ou des foyers individuels. Le mandat du projet de la NÉR a été renouvelé jusqu'en 2006 grâce à une subvention majeure de INITIATIVE DE LA NOUVELLE ÉCONOMIE, un programme du Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada.

En contexte, l'usage le plus répandu consiste à mettre l'article qui accompagnerait le nom si celui-ci était traduit en français. «University» se traduisant par Université, nom féminin en français, l'article «la» serait normalement élidé du fait de la rencontre des deux voyelles (le «a» de la et le «U» de «University»). Par contre, pour des raisons d'euphonie (le son «l'iou» est désagréable à l'oreille), il est recommandé de ne pas élider l'article «la».

The description of history with changes in a few key facts or events as the basis for speculation of a different outcome.

CONT

Virtual history, also referred to as counterfactual history, is a form of history which attempts to answer "what if" questions. It seeks to explore history and historical processes from the point of view of extrapolating a position in which certain key historical events did not happen or had an outcome which was different to that which did in fact occur. Most historians regard counterfactual history as sometimes entertaining, but not meeting the standards of mainstream historical research due to its speculative nature.

D'abord, comment désigne-t-on cet exercice qui consiste à faire l'histoire avec des «si» ? Les Anglais disent What if? Il y a d'ailleurs des collections entières de livres anglais qui portent ce titre. C'est un titre prosaïque qui diminue sans doute un peu le sujet. On peut, en termes plus abstraits, parler d'histoire contrefactuelle ou virtuelle. Un de nos compatriotes du XIXe siècle, Charles Renouvier, avait inventé un substantif féminin, l'uchronie, construit à partir du grec sur le modèle d'utopie, pour désigner l'histoire faite en pensée, telle qu'elle aurait pu être et qu'elle n'a pas été.

Extracts from the Federal Heritage Buildings Policy.(Parks Canada). Designation of Federal Heritage Buildings. All federal buildings 40 years old or older for which alteration, demolition, or disposal are planned must be identified and referred to the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office(FHBRO) for evaluation, in order to determine if the buildings have heritage value. Also to be evaluated are buildings 40 years old or older whose acquisition is being contemplated. The Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office will evaluate the identified buildings to determine if they merit heritage designation. Parks Canada will prepare research that addresses historical, architectural and environmental criteria, as well as any other relevant information, as a basis for this evaluation. A building evaluated as a heritage building will be recommended for designation as a "classified" or as a "recognized" federal heritage building. A classified building is the higher of these two designations. The Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office will convey the recommended designation(classified or recognized) to the custodial department. The recommendation will be accompanied by a statement of heritage character. A federal building which has been designated under this policy will be entered in the Register of Federal Heritage Buildings, along with a statement of its heritage character.

The expression "statement of significance" must not be used instead of "statement of heritage character."

Si l'évaluation est positive, une recommandation pour désignation comme édifice fédéral du patrimoine classé ou reconnu pourra être faite. La cote classée correspond à la valeur la plus élevée.

Truly rare quality Canadian coins are very infrequently offered or sold. In many cases, rare coins may appear only once every few years of possibly only once every major coin cycle(5-8 years). The last sale of such an item may be meaningless as an aid to repricing such a coin in a "new" market. "Trends" for such coins are non-existant. Such coins are usually priced by relating them to other similar coins of comparable rarity and using historical relationships of pricing between the two to arrive at a "fair" asking price. In the end the price will be what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller. Considerable research may go in to pricing such coins, certainly more than looking them up in a Trends List.
