Geological and geometric modelling of the discontinuity network of a granite rock mass... The quality of the model can be checked by a procedure of fictive boreholes in a simulated volume. The Simbloc(CGI) [Centre de géologie de l'ingénieur] software produces an analysis of connectivity which provides the block size distribution of the rock mass and an index of anisotropy of the positioning of the circumscribed polyhedrons. Subsequently, it is possible to make useful forecasts for a more closely targeted reconnaissance of the architecture of the rock mass thanks to new boreholes conducted from the surface. 1, record 1, English, - block%20size%20distribution

Modélisation géologique et géométrique du réseau des discontinuités d'un massif granitique reconnu par forages carottés. [...] Une procédure de sondages fictifs dans un volume simulé contrôle la qualité du modèle. Le logiciel Simbloc (CGI) [Centre de géologie de l'ingénieur] réalise une analyse de connectivité qui fournit la «blocométrie» du massif et un indice d'anisotropie de la disposition des polyèdres délimités. Des prévisions utiles pour une reconnaissance plus ciblée de l'architecture du massif rocheux par de nouveaux forages depuis la surface sont alors possibles. 3, record 1, French, - blocom%C3%A9trie

GESDEC pour GEStion de préDECoupage est une méthodologie de suivi et de contrôle de qualité de prédécoupage basée sur le positionnement exact en X, Y, Z des traces des forages. Ce positionnement est effectué par photogrammétrie frontale rapprochée. Cette méthodologie peut être couplée avec 3D.BLOC pour optimiser les techniques de prédécoupage, le processus d'excavation et l'obtention d'une blocométrie de référence à l'abattage. Exemples d'applications opérationnelles récentes : - Maîtrise d'œuvre des carrières de Saint Nabor (Bas Rhin). - Maîtrise d'œuvre de la mise en sécurité du vallon Saint Pons à Gémenos (Bouches du Rhône). Quelques domaines d'application : - Surveillance des talus autoroutiers ou SNCF. - Surveillance et purge des masses rocheuses instables. - Terrassements en milieu rocheux. - Optimisation de terrassements. - Contrôle de qualité de prédécoupage. - Contrôle des quantités terrassées ou extraites. - Exploitation et mise en sécurité de carrières. 4, record 1, French, - blocom%C3%A9trie

We propose a finite-element method(FEM) deformable breast model that does not require elastic breast data for nonrigid PET/MRI [positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging] breast image registration. The model is applicable only if the stress conditions in the imaged breast are virtually the same in PET and MRI. Under these conditions, the observed intermodality displacements are solely due to the imaging/reconstruction process. Similar stress conditions are assured by use of an MRI breast-antenna replica for breast support during PET, and use of the same positioning. 3, record 3, English, - breast%2Dantenna

The planimetric accuracy of the orthoimages depends on control data, the digital elevation model(DEM), and the methodology used to extract the positions of the control points on the image. The best sources of control data currently available in Canada were used to generate the orthoimages. A number of control sources were used to correct the Landsat 7 images, namely provincial vector data, roads resulting from the global positioning system(GPS), data from the National Topographic Data Base(NTBD), and geometrically corrected aerial photography(orthophotos). The control points extracted from the sources generally represent road intersections and centres of mass of lakes or islands. Different DEMs also served in generating these orthoimages; provincial DEMs and Canadian Digital Elevation Data(CDED) at the 1 : 50 000 and the 1 : 250 000 scales. Planimetric accuracy is obtained by analyzing the parameters of the geometric correction model(SRIT), the accuracy of the source data used to correct the image, and DEM accuracy. 2, record 4, English, - planimetric%20accuracy

La précision planimétrique des ortho-images dépend du contrôle, du modèle numérique d'élévation (MNE) et de la méthodologie utilisée pour extraire la position des points de contrôle dans l'image. Les meilleures sources de contrôle disponibles au Canada à cette époque ont servi à générer les ortho-images. Plusieurs sources de contrôle ont été utilisées pour corriger les images Landsat 7, soit : des données vectorielles provinciales, des routes issues du système de positionnement global (GPS), des données de la Base nationale de données topographiques (BNDT) et des photographies aériennes corrigées géométriquement (ortho-photos). Ces points de contrôle extraits des sources provenaient généralement des intersections de routes et des centres de masse des lacs ou d'îles. Différents MNE ont aussi servi à générer ces ortho-images, soit : des MNE provinciaux, des données numériques d'élévation du Canada (DNEC) au 1/50 000 et des DNEC au 1/250 000. La précision planimétrique est obtenue par l'analyse des paramètres du modèle servant à la correction géométrique (SRIT), de la précision des données sources utilisées pour corriger l'image et de la précision du MNE. 2, record 4, French, - pr%C3%A9cision%20planim%C3%A9trique

To treat CCA theoretically we consider the following "Sutherland's Ghost" model(Ball and Witten 1984b). Let us imagine that the clusters are constructed according to an algorithm similar to the hierarchical version of the ballistic aggregation model. However, instead of combining the clusters using ballistic trajectories, one selects a monomer belonging to each of the two clusters, and joins the clusters by positioning the monomers on adjacent sites of the lattice(This is done in the spirit of reaction-limited CCA). The specific feature of this model is that the particles are allowed to overlap. 2, record 11, English, - Sutherland%26rsquo%3Bs%20ghost
