GLASS provides a standardized approach to the collection, analysis, interpretation and sharing of data by countries and seeks to actively support capacity building and monitor the status of existing and new national surveillance systems. Furthermore, GLASS promotes a shift from surveillance approaches based solely on laboratory data to a system that includes epidemiological, clinical, and population-level data. GLASS has been conceived to progressively incorporate data from surveillance of AMR [antimicrobial resistance] in humans, such as monitoring of resistance and the use of antimicrobial medicines, including AMR in the food chain and in the environment.

Subject field(s)
  • Stock Exchange
CONT

A technical indicator is a series of data points that are derived by applying a formula to the price data of a security. Price data includes any combination of the open, high, low or close over a period of time. Some indicators may use only the closing prices, while others incorporate volume and open interest into their formulas. The price data is entered into the formula and a data point is produced. For example, the average of 3 closing prices is one data point((41+43+43)/3=42. 33)... A series of data points over a period of time is required to create valid reference points to enable analysis. By creating a time series of data points, a comparison can be made between present and past levels. For analysis purposes, technical indicators are usually shown in a graphical form above or below a security's price chart. Once shown in graphical form, an indicator can then be compared with the corresponding price chart of the security.

CONT

Technical indicators look to predict the future price levels, or simply the general price direction, of a security by looking at past patterns. Examples of common technical indicators include the relative strength index, the money flow index, stochastics, the MACD [moving average convergence divergence] and the bollinger bands.

Ils mesurent la vitesse et la qualité du mouvement des prix et servent à identifier : les situations d’excès à la hausse et à la baisse par des niveaux de surachat ou de survente; l’essoufflement de la tendance en cours grâce aux divergences [et] la dynamique du marché grâce aux indicateurs de suivi de tendance.

DEF

Any sensing device with imaging capabilities.

CONT

RADARSAT-2, Canada's next generation earth observation satellite, is co-funded by the Canadian Space Agency(CSA) and MacDonald Dettwiler... The imaging sensor on the satellite is a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) capable of operating in a wide variety of imaging modes. All imaging modes of the current RADARSAT-1 satellite will be provided, as well as some new modes that incorporate important innovations and improvements. The horizontal co-polarization(HH) of RADARSAT-1 will be supplemented by options for vertical co-polarization(VV) and cross-polarization(HV or VH), and there will be new Quad-Polarization modes providing fully polarimetric data sets. The other major new mode is referred to as Ultra-Fine, providing swath imaging with resolution of about 3 m in each dimension. Re-visit times will be reduced since all imaging modes will be available either to the left or right sides of the satellite track.

Capteur qui saisit des données bidimensionnelles du terrain visé et les mémorise de façon à permettre la reconstitution d'images de ce terrain.

CONT

Les systèmes embarqués à bord des satellites comportent de multiples instruments dont les fonctions sont variées. Toutefois, pour une mission donnée, les instruments de la charge utile ont des fonctions bien particulières. Il s'agit le plus souvent de capteurs qui ont pour vocation d'effectuer des mesures du rayonnement émis ou rémis par la Terre, l'atmosphère ou divers objets de l'Univers, ou bien de dispositifs de réception et de réémission de signaux, quand il s'agit de missions de télécommunications, par exemple. Deux grandes familles de capteurs sont identifiables : les capteurs non-imageurs et les capteurs-imageurs, ces derniers restituant sous forme d'images les observations effectuées dans un champ donné. Les principales caractéristiques d'un capteur-imageur sont : - le champ d'observation total (de quelques dizaines à quelques millions de km) [;] - la résolution spatiale (qui exprime son aptitude à distinguer les détails dans le champ total d'observation) [;] - les bandes spectrales (domaines de sensibilité spectrale des détecteurs et de leurs accessoires (filtres...] [;] - la résolution radiométrique (qui caractérise l'aptitude des détecteurs à distinguer des signaux porteurs de plus ou moins d'énergie).

  • Intergovernmental Bodies and Committees

OBS

After informal bilateral talks, the United States in 1977 proposed that the two governments establish a bilateral scientific advisory group to try to coordinate and harmonize research activities which were then proceeding independently in both countries. The Canadian side agreed, and in relatively short order the Bilateral Research Consultation Group, the BRCG, was created.

OBS

The seeds for an agreement on air quality were sown in 1978, when Canada and the United States established the Bilateral Research Consultation Group(BRCG) to facilitate information exchange, coordinate research, and develop a scientific data base on acid rain. The BRCG's first report in 1979 showed large areas of North America sensitive to acidic deposition(a term used to incorporate both wet and dry deposition of acidic compounds).

La première étape vers un accord sur la qualité de l'air a été franchie en 1978, lorsque le Canada et les États-Unis ont créé le Groupe consultatif de recherche canado-américain (GCR) dans le but de faciliter le partage de l'information, de coordonner la recherche et de mettre sur pied une base de données scientifiques sur les pluies acides. Le premier rapport du GCR, publié en 1979, a montré que de vastes régions d'Amérique du Nord Nord sont sensibles aux dépôts acides (un terme désignant à la fois les dépôts humides et secs de composés acides).

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
DEF

A modeling process by which variation in a time series are assumed to be explained wholly by the historical trends of the data itself. In essence, the ARIMA modeling process consists of the autoregressive and moving average processes of the Auto-Regressive Moving Average(ARMA) Model process on data that have been Differenced to render them Stationary. The process uses variations of differencing and transformations to describe historical patterns in the data. Like the simpler ARMA model, forecasts made by an ARIMA modeling process consist of only a mathematical process of projecting inherent characteristics of trend, cycles, and seasonality into the future and incorporate no economic relatinships. Consequently, such models are not appropriate for impact analysis or for incorporating random "shocks", but may prove an effective estimation process when the trends in the historical data are relatively stable and well-behaved.

OBS

The X-11 ARIMA process is used to detect and remove the seasonality from the original data.

Knowledge engineering tools ... are designed to facilitate the rapid development of knowledge systems ... They incorporate ... specific strategies for representation, inference and control. They contain elementary constructs for modeling the world that determine the sorts of problems they can easily handle.

DEF

The programming language and support package used to build the expert system.

CONT

Most tools contain an inference engine and various user interface and knowledge acquisition aids and lack a knowledge base. Expert system building tools tend to incorporate restrictions that make them easy to use for certain purposes and hard to impossible to use for other purposes. In acquiring a tool, one must be careful to select a tool that is appropriate for the type of expert system one wishes to build. More broadly, a tool is a shell that allows the user to rapidly develop a system that contains specific data. In this sense, an electronic spreadsheet program is a tool. When the user enters financial data, he or she creates a system that will do specific financial projections just as the knowledge engineer uses a tool to create an expert system that will offer advice about a specific type of problem.

Unlike conventional computer software that is only infrequently updated, expert systems by their nature are very easy to modify. Most expert systems that are currently in use are constantly being improved by the addition of new rules. In most applications, the user organization will want to establish a regular routine to capture and incorporate new knowledge into the system. It's a good idea to make one person responsible for entering new rules whenever data or procedures change or whenever questions arise that the current system could not answer.
