An adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system(ANFIS) is a type of artificial intelligence that combines the benefits of both neural networks and fuzzy logic systems. ANFIS is able to learn and make decisions based on data, just like a neural network, but it can also handle imprecise or incomplete data, like a fuzzy logic system. 3, record 1, English, - adaptive%20neuro%20fuzzy%20inference%20system

Ocean-floor metamorphism is a type of metamorphism of regional or local extent related to the steep geothermal gradient occurring near spreading centres in oceanic environments. The recrystallisation, which is mostly incomplete, encompasses a wide range of temperatures. The metamorphism is associated with circulating hot aqueous fluids(with related metasomatism) and typically shows an increasing temperature of metamorphism with depth. 5, record 2, English, - ocean%2Dfloor%20metamorphism
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
During extension at mid-ocean ridges (red-orange), convection carries heat to very shallow levels, where 7-km thick oceanic crust forms; hydrothermal circulation produces low P/T metamorphism, often called seafloor metamorphism: Many good examples of seafloor metamorphism are known from ophiolites in the Sierra Nevada and Klamaths. 3, record 2, English, - ocean%2Dfloor%20metamorphism

Mise en garde: il ne faut pas confondre les expressions «test de complètement de phrases» (sentence completion test, voir cette fiche) et «test des phrases inachevées» (incomplete sentence test). Ces expressions ne sont pas synonymes. Le «test de complètement de phrases» est utilisé surtout pour évaluer la compréhension de textes tandis que le «test des phrases inachevées» est une épreuve projective où le sujet est libre de répondre comme ça lui plaît permettant ainsi de dégager certains traits de personnalité. 2, record 5, French, - test%20des%20phrases%20inachev%C3%A9es

residual bodies are formed if the digestion is incomplete. In some cells, such as amoeba and other protozoa, these residual bodies are eliminated by defecation. In other cells they may remain for a long time and may be important in the aging process. For example, the pigment inclusions found in nerve cells of old animal may be a result of this type of process. 1, record 7, English, - residual%20body
