The number that identifies a property class which covers a relatively homogeneous area of commodities, in respect to their physical or performance characteristics, or in respect that the items included therein are such as are usually requisitioned, stored, and issued together.

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research
  • Statistical Methods
CONT

Imbricated controls : the control plots are arranged systematically in the trial. Plot size and shape need not be the same as for other plots in the trial. The observations made in these plots are of a different nature and should not be included in the statistical analysis. The purpose of the arrangement is to ensure a more homogeneous distribution of the effect of an adjacent untreated area than is possible with the included randomized design.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

[A technique] that corrects and improves radiometric values of individual pixels.

CONT

By using adaptive filters a compromise exists between the radiometric enhancement in the homogeneous areas and the preservation of the spatial resolution within the heterogeneous areas(i. e., the textural area or edges). Depending on the local heterogeneity degree of the target, pixels are weighted with a value ranging from the local mean to the raw intensity values.

OBS

radiometric enhancement: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing

DEF

The network of 48 shipping areas or blocks into which the grain producing area of western Canada is divided. Each block represents a train run or railway subdivision or a group of such subdivisions on which are situated a number of shipping points within a fairly homogeneous production area. The shipping blocks are the units within which the Canadian Wheat Board allocates shipping orders among the companies operating elevators within the block. The elevator companies assign the orders to their elevator managers within each block, and this assignment governs the spotting of cars at the elevators for the loading of grain authorized by the shipping orders.

Subject field(s)

CONT

Heterogeneous catalysts, in contrast to homogeneous catalysts, form a separate phase from reactants and products and are usually solids. They have a microporous structure and a very large internal surface area(it may reach 1000 m²/g) but these colloidal catalysts are often inactivated by the presence of small amounts of poisons. Poisons act by combining with an active site in the catalyst surface and rendering it inactive.

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
OBS

The number and location of gauges used in an index-type network is dependent on the complexity of the cause-and-effect relationship and the degree of association which is required. Generally, at least one gauge should be placed in each homogeneous contributing area. Also the network should provide indices for sub-watersheds which may be used for experimentation.

French

Domaine(s)

OBS

Le nombre et l'emplacement des pluviomètres utilisés dans un tel réseau de type-indice dépendent de la complexité de la relation cause à effet et du degré d'association nécessaire. Généralement, on devrait placer au moins une jauge pluviométrique dans chaque zone contributrice homogène. De plus, le réseau devrait fournir des indices sur les sous-bassins qui pourront servir à l'expérimentation.
