Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Artemisinin derivatives should never be used alone, but always with a companion drug. There is now substantial evidence that using a combination of drugs with independent modes of action and different biochemical targets is not only more effective, but also successful in preventing or slowing the development of resistance, because the probability of parasites being simultaneously resistant to two drugs is greatly reduced.... In malaria treatment, using the combination drug approach with artimisinins means using artemisinin-based combination therapy, or ACT. 3, record 1, English, - artemisinin%2Dbased%20combination%20therapy

Steep gullies, filled with ice and snow, are a frequent source of avalanches because they combine several hazardous features :. Often slope angles exceed 40° so that slab and loose snow avalanches are frequent.. Several independent starting zones can occur on the sides and at different elevations.. The snow condition/stability can vary widely over the length of the gully, making evaluation difficult.. Snow deposition and characteristics are radically affected by the weather in a gully..... The difficulty of escaping to the side and the probability of hitting rocks magnify the danger for persons caught. 2, record 5, English, - gully

1. An unbiased estimator of the variance of a probability distribution obtained from a sample of n independent observations is obtained by dividing by n-1 the sum of the squares of the deviations of the observed values from the arithmetic mean of this sample. 2. The positive square root of the unbiased estimator of the variance is often used as an estimator of the standard deviation. However, it ought to be noted that this estimator is not unbiased. 3, record 13, English, - estimation%20of%20the%20variance%20of%20a%20population

1. Un estimateur sans biais de la variance d'une loi de probabilité à partir d'un échantillon de n observations indépendantes s'obtient en divisant par n 1 la somme des carrés des écarts des valeurs observées par rapport à la moyenne arithmétique de cet échantillon. 2. La racine carrée positive de l'estimateur sans biais de la variance est souvent utilisée comme estimateur de l'écart-type. Il faut noter pourtant que cet estimateur n'est pas sans biais. 3, record 13, French, - estimation%20de%20la%20variance%20d%27une%20population
