POOR MAINTENANCE [9 records]

Record 1 2025-02-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Data Banks and Databases
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A data lake that is unusable due to poor design, inadequate documentation or bad maintenance.

CONT

Data swamps have no curation, including little to no active management throughout the data life cycle and little to no contextual metadata and data governance. Data swamps have the problem of being of little use or unusable and frustrating.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Banques et bases de données
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Lac de données qui est devenu inexploitable.

CONT

Tout comme certains entrepôts de données sont devenus de gigantesques trous noirs desquels de vastes quantités de données ne s'échappent jamais, un lac de données peut vite se transformer en un marécage de données si des politiques de gouvernance appropriées ne sont pas appliquées.

OBS

Un marécage de données est le plus souvent le résultat d'une insuffisance des moyens consacrés à la gestion d'un lac de données.

OBS

marécage de données; marais de données : termes et définition publiés au Journal officiel de la République française le 24 mars 2023.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

CAN COMBUSTION CHAMBER. The can combustion chamber is used mainly on older centrifugal compressor engines. Airflow is ducted to individual combustion cans that are arranged around the circumference of the burner section. Each can contains its own fuel nozzle, burner liner, and casing. Advantages include its strength and durability, combined with the ease of maintenance. Disadvantages include poor use of space in the chamber, greater pressure loss, and uneven heat distribution to the turbine section.

Subject field(s)
  • Road Construction
CONT

Other contributors to joint deterioration [in concrete highways and streets] include poor joint sealant maintenance, improper installation or poor maintenance of metal or plastic inserts, high reinforcing steel, subbase-pumping, dowel-socketing, and keyway failure. These are design or construction errors that create locally weak areas that spall easily.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Construction des voies de circulation
OBS

Des tirants d'acier ou barres de liaison, de 75 à 90 cm de longueur et espacés de 0,75 m centre à centre, tiennent les voies ensemble. En plus des tirants placés au centre de la dalle, une rainure ou une clef assure le transfert des charges d'une dalle à l'autre, dans le cas de la construction successive de deux voies adjacentes.

OBS

Conception des chaussées [...] Les systèmes de transfert de charge. [...] Les deux systèmes classiques sont : les goujons; les joints à rainure et languette.

Subject field(s)
  • Public Administration (General)
  • Work and Production
  • Real Estate
CONT

Quality standards, described in general terms of the Maintenance Services Building Cleaning Specifications, are assured by regular scheduled formal inspections by qualified building services inspectors. Formal reports are prepared for action by the Property Manager(PM) who may invoke penalties, up to and including the cancellation of a contract for repeated poor performance.

Record 7 2001-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fences and Enclosures
CONT

In Costa Rica, 95% of the farmers fence with living trees instead of dead posts... Farmers establish living fences by planting large cuttings about 2. 5 m long and 8-20 cm in diameter, attaching several strands of barbed wire to them... Living fences are usually pruned once a year to keep them in good shape and to avoid damage to the wire... Living fences are comparatively cost-effective, need careful establishment and regular maintenance, are long-lived, provide numerous products and benefits besides fencing, are difficult to remove, and are very popular among poor farmers. Dead fences, by contrast, are expensive, require much labor to establish, need some maintenance, are of limited durability, are easy to remove, provide no other products, but are more prestigious than living fences.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Enceintes et clôtures

OBS

Noter que la «clôture vive» peut être fabriquée uniquement de matériaux vivants, ou d'un mélange de ceux-ci et de matériaux inertes : par exemple, des barbelés fixés à des arbres vivants.

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

Advanced teleoperation... Maintenance, repair, and dismantling operations in nuclear facilities must be performed remotely when radiation doses impede hands-on operation, but also to minimize contamination risks and occupational doses to the operators. Computer-aided and sensor-based teleoperation enhances safety, reliability, and performance by helping the operator in difficult tasks with poor remote environmental perception... To show the feasibility of radiation-hardened sensors in advanced teleoperation, we are constructing a telerobotics sensing demonstration workcell.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
DEF

Technique de téléopération ultra-perfectionnée basée sur la technologie de pointe en matière de transmission et de traitement de l'information de façon à assurer la meilleure interaction possible homme-machine.
