Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

Results indicated that a major quantity of volatile compounds detected in the processed meat were derived from the smoking process. Color variations were mainly explained by muscle pigment modification due to the cooking process, and by the input of volatile compounds of smoke.

CONT

En ce qui concerne la mesure directe des propriétés aromatisantes d'un composé volatil, il est possible, au moyen de l'analyse sensorielle, de définir plusieurs propriétés qui peuvent se classer en trois groupes : sa qualité odorante ou caractère, c'est-à-dire, le type d'odeur que ce composé volatil dégage et le degré de préference [...]

OBS

L'adjectif «volatile», avec un «e», est à éviter dans ce sens. Il signifie «Qui peut voler, qui a des ailes», ou encore «formé d'oiseaux»!

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Space Centres
CONT

The present work aims at trying out Acoustic Impact Technique as a possible means of deployment at field level for the purpose of flaw detection in composite helicopter blades. The principle underlying Acoustic Impact Testing is simple. The sound produced when a structure is tapped is mainly at the frequencies of major structural modes of vibration, which are structural properties. Any difference in the sound is necessarily due to modification affected to the force input by the defect in the structure. A study of the force time history of response or its fast fourier transform makes it possible to locate and detect sub surface flaws.

OBS

Type of non-destructive material testing.

Record 11 1990-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Just as the cell doctrine has proved central in biology, and germ theory is pivotal in the area of disease, so the concept of physical symbol system is deemed by Simon and Newell and their colleagues at Carnegie-Mellon as the core doctrine in the area of computer science. Proceeding in Boolean spirit, the job of the theorist is to identify that set of processes which operates on symbolic expressions in order to produce other expressions that create, modify, reproduce, and/or transform symbolic structures. A physical symbol system is necessary and sufficient to carry out intelligent actions; and, conversely, any system that exhibits general intelligence will prove upon analysis to be a physical symbol system. Such a system consists of a control, a memory, a set of operations, and input and output : its input consists of objects in certain locations; its processes are operations upon the input; its output is the modification or re-creation of objects in certain locations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Jeu d'entités (formes physiques) qui peuvent se manifester comme composantes d'un autre type d'entité (expression, structure de symboles). A chaque instant, le système contient un assemblage de ces structures et un ensemble de processus pour produire d'autres structures par création, modification, reproduction ou élimination. Dans le temps, le système est une machine qui produit un assemblage évolutif de structures de symboles. Selon l'hypothèse fondamentale de l'intelligence artificielle (Newell et Simons), cet assemblage possède les moyens nécessaires et suffisants pour une action intelligente.
