English

Subject field(s)
  • Adaptive Automated Systems
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

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.

  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

Le neuroflou (ANFIS), également connu sous le nom d'adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (système d'inférence neuro-flou adaptatif), est une méthode d'apprentissage automatique qui combine des réseaux de neurones artificiels et des systèmes d'inférence flous pour modéliser des systèmes complexes.

Subject field(s)
  • Geology

CONT

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.

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.

OBS

ocean-floor metamorphism; sea floor metamorphism: terms used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
CONT

Winged orders-grasshoppers, crickets, dragonflies, leaf hoppers, bugs, and many others-are similar to the adult but lack the wings and reproductive system, which gradually develop during the course of subsequent instars. This type of development is called gradual, or incomplete(hemimetabolous development) etc.

Record 4 2003-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steel
DEF

A type of steel similar to rimmed steel, usually cast in a bottle-top ingot mold, in which the application of a mechanical or a chemical cap renders the rimming action incomplete by causing the top metal to solidify.

OBS

The surface condition of capped steel is much like that of rimmed steel, but certain other characteristics are intermediate between those of rimmed steel and those of semikilled steel.

Record 5 1998-06-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Psychometry and Psychotechnology
DEF

a type of projective test which consists of asking the subject to complete a prechosen list of half-completed sentences. Often used are such sentences as :"I like--";... "I get angry when--". Other incomplete sentences may direct the testee into associations connected with a particular desired topic, such as race relations, personal troubles...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychométrie et psychotechnique
OBS

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
CONT

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.
