Analyse quantitative de la surface de l'acier par microanalyse ionique [...]. L'utilisation du microanalyseur ionique de Slodzian en tant que technique d'étude des surfaces est liée à la maîtrise des deux phénomènes mis en œuvre, à savoir le phénomène de pulvérisation cathodique qui permet de mettre à nu des plans atomiques de plus en plus profonds et le phénomène d'émission ionique secondaire qui permet d'analyser, à l'aide du spectromètre de masse, les éléments contenus dans la cible. 2, record 2, French, - spectrom%C3%A9trie%20de%20masse%20d%27ions%20secondaires

Cette technique, initialement introduite par Castaing et Slodzian dès 1962 pour l'analyse de surface en géologie et en métallurgie, a été appliquée à la biologie par Galle à partir de 1970. Le principe de base de la méthode repose sur un principe simple; si une surface est bombardée par un faisceau d'ions primaires énergétiques ces particules vont induire la rupture des liaisons chimiques des molécules présentes dans les couches superficielles de l'échantillon et conduire à la désorption d'atomes ou de petits fragments polyatomiques neutres ou chargés (ions secondaires). Ces ions peuvent alors être accélérés et focalisés par des lentilles électrostatiques pour finalement être analysés et «triés» par un spectromètre de masse. L'ensemble du faisceau secondaire conserve la totalité de l'information topologique initiale et il est possible, en sélectionnant un ion particulier, de reconstituer la distribution spatiale de l'élément considéré. 7, record 2, French, - spectrom%C3%A9trie%20de%20masse%20d%27ions%20secondaires

Single Particle Analysis is a group of related computerized image processing techniques used to analyze images from transmission electron microscopy(TEM). These methods were developed to improve and extend the information obtainable from TEM images of particulate samples, typically proteins or other large biological entities such as viruses. Individual images of stained or unstained particles are very noisy, and so hard to interpret. Combining several digitized images of similar particles together gives an image with stronger and more easily interpretable features. An extension of this technique uses single particle methods to build up a three dimensional reconstruction of the particle. 1, record 3, English, - single%20particle%20analysis

It is generally found that natural objects possess self-similarity and self-affinity in their structures. Fractal analysis, a technique based on these properties, has been widely used in various research applications. In the active remote sensing of the earth terrain, it is possible to extract this fractal information from the images obtained. In this application, fractal surface dimension, an important parameter in fractal analysis, can be employed as an additional feature to classify different landuse areas. This fractal surface dimension is generally related to the roughness of the surface. By keeping the x and y coordinates of the pixels of the image, and taking the grey level of each pixel as its z coordinate, a three-dimensional surface can be constructed. The calculation of fractal surface dimension can then be carried out on that surface. 2, record 6, English, - fractal%20analysis

L'apparition des images à très haute résolution spatiale en télédétection a substantiellement compliqué l'analyse automatique des images optiques. La difficulté de l'analyse fractale [Kaplan, 1999], etc. ne semble pas pouvoir s'adapter à toutes les formes de textures. La grande variation locale des niveaux de gris des objets présents dans les images optiques à très haute résolution spatiale, rend obsolètes les méthodes d'analyse précédemment citées. Dans [Pentland, 1984], il est montré que la dimension fractale peut être utilisée pour caractériser des scènes naturelles; toutefois, ce type d'analyse n'est plus efficace lorsque l'image à étudier est très irrégulière. Pour analyser des signaux possédant une régularité variant fortement d'un point à un autre, il est préférable d'utiliser l'analyse multifractale. Nous proposons un nouvelle approche à la segmentation d'images de télédétection basée sur l'analyse des composants fractals de l'image. Elle ne nécessite aucune connaissance a priori sur l'image, et étudie la régularité locale et globale par le biais de l'exposant de Hölder et du spectre multifractal. Les singularités et les irrégularités d'un signal sont souvent porteuses de la plus grande part d'information. 3, record 6, French, - analyse%20fractale
