Chinoiseries are pseudo-Chinese figures, pagodas, monsters, landscapes, and so forth, with imaginative fantasy elements. They occur in polychrome, monochrome, and gold and silver silhouette. The term Japonaiserie is sometimes employed for such decoration derived from Japanese sources. Chinoiseries were introduced at the end of the 17th century in the designs of such ornemanistes as Bérain(see Bérain motifs) and others, and the style was developed for porcelain painting at Meissen by J. G. Höroldt soon after 1721. It was widely used in decoration of all kinds until c. 1760. 2, record 5, English, - chinoiserie

Pour les applications opérationnelles il paraît illusoire de chercher à définir un critère numérique unique ayant une signification universelle. Par contre, si l'on se limite aux incidences des circonstances atmosphériques sur une catégorie particulière d'activités humaines, il est possible de combiner certains éléments climatiques de façon significative. Sur le plan agricole on peut citer, par exemple : - l'indice héliothermique de Geslin [...] - l'évapotranspiration potentielle [...] - le bilan potentiel ou déficit théorique, [...] Ce critère peut servir d'indicateur du déficit d'approvisionnement en eau de la végétation. 2, record 7, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20th%C3%A9orique

Remembering is not the re-excitation of innumerable fixed, lifeless, and fragmentary traces. It is an imaginative reconstruction, or construction, built out of the relation of our attitude towards a whole active mass of past experience.... It is thus hardly ever really exact, even the most rudimentary cases of rote recapitulation, and it is not at all important that it should be so. The attitude is literally an effect of the organism's capacity to turn round up upon its own "schemata" and is directly a function of consciousness. 1, record 16, English, - remembering
