A lognormal error is usually assumed in the traditional stock–recruitment(SR) analysis.... a positive bias results when [a] SR model with [a] lognormal error is used for fish recruitment prediction. Not only is this bias exponentially dependent on the structure of the model' s residual variance and the historical SR data, it is also dependent on the specific value of spawner biomass used.... a bias correction that is asymptotically unbiased with a finite-sample biasthat is practically zero [is then derived]. Data from two Pacific salmon populations, southeast Alaska pink salmon... and Chilko Lake sockeye salmon... are used to demonstrate this approach. The results show that the relative bias is about 10% for a spawning biomass within the historical range and that the bias is substantial outside that data range. However, with the proposed bias correction, the bias is negligible both within(<0. 1%) and outside of(<0. 3%) the data range. 2, record 2, English, - bias%20correction

Les protéines globulaires sont, en moyenne, formées d'environ 350 acides aminés et leur chaîne principale peut se replier d'innombrables façons. Le nombre de niveaux de structure différents montre à quel point la variété règne. Tout d'abord, les interactions locales entre des acides aminés voisins sont à l'origine de la formation des hélices alpha, des feuillets bêta ou d'autres types de structures secondaires; ces structures, formant des blocs assez bien définis, s'organisent en domaines; enfin la disposition des domaines les uns par rapport aux autres produit la structure tertiaire. L'existence des mêmes structures secondaires et des mêmes domaines, dans de nombreuses protéines différentes, prouve que [...] toutes ces structures semblent jouer un rôle fondamental dans l'évolution et la diversification des protéines. 3, record 3, French, - structure%20secondaire

The MPEG standard is primarily a bitstream specification, although it also specifies a typical decoding process to assist in interpreting the bitstream specification. This approach supports data interchange, but it does not restrict creativity and innovation in the means for creating or decoding that bitstream. The bitstream architecture is based on a sequence of pictures, each of which contains the data needed to create a single displayable image. Note that the order of transmission of pictures in the data stream may not be the same as the order in which pictures will be displayed-this will be evident shortly. There are four different kinds of pictures, depending on how each picture is to be decoded : I pictures... P pictures... B pictures are interpolated pictures, which are coded by interpolating between a previous and a future I or P picture. This process is sometimes referred to as "bidirectional prediction.

An ecological approach to environmental impact assessment is one that makes optimal use of ecological principles and concepts in the design and conduct of assessment studies and in the prediction of impacts. An ecosystem approach to impact assessment is one in which impact studies and predictions concentrate on phenomena and variables at the community and ecosystems levels.

Modèle de Lewis - Méthode V.S.E.P.R. Exercice 1 : La prévision a priori des formules se fait dans les cas les plus simples en se basant sur la notion de valence des éléments. La valence correspond le plus souvent au nombre d'électrons célibataires présents sur la couche de valence de l'élément étudié. Dans le modèle de Lewis, ce sont ces électrons célibataires qui formeront le plus souvent les liaisons chimiques en s'associant avec un autre électron célibataire d'un autre atome. Le doublet ainsi constitué formant la liaison chimique. Il faut toutefois tenir compte de la possibilité d'excitation des atomes, qui peut modifier la valence de ceux-ci. Ainsi les configurations électroniques de type s2 p1 à un seul électron célibataire pourront facilement se transformer en s1 p2 à trois électrons célibataires. La valence passant alors de 1 à 3. De même les configurations en s2 p2 de valence 2 conduiront facilement à la valence 4 par excitation en s1 p3. Enfin les configurations en s2 de valence 0 pourront par excitation en s1 p1 conduire à la valence 2. [...] Compte tenu de ces diverses possibilités on peut résumer les valences courantes des éléments à partir de leur place dans la classification. Soit le tableau suivant. Pour les éléments courants dont la position doit être parfaitement connue. En rouge est indiquée la valence «normale» la plus fréquemment rencontrée. 2, record 7, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20de%20la%20r%C3%A9pulsion%20des%20paires%20d%27%C3%A9lectrons%20dans%20la%20couche%20de%20valence
