Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The image processing consisted in generating intensity images and one coherence image. To facilitate their analysis and interpretation, a coloured composition has been created with the results. This composition is obtained by adding the coherence image in red, the average of both images phase intensities in green and the difference between these phase intensities in blue. As such, a high coherence level(value close to 1) appears in red and indicates a very good phase correlation between the two images, a consequence of the various mechanisms of radar signal scattering and of the lack of change which could affect the target. On the contrary, a weak coherence level(value tending to 0) appears in black and indicates a movement in these zones during the 24 hours interval which separated the two image shots. Lastly, the white spots correspond to areas with a strong radar signal backscattering i. e. with zones of hills or vegetation. 3, record 2, English, - colour%20composition

Dans les systèmes de télédétection, nous avons vu qu'il est possible de détecter et d'enregistrer des parties du spectre électromagnétique qui ne sont pas décelables à l'oeil nu, comme l'infrarouge par exemple. Pour pouvoir visualiser cette information, on associe aux bandes spectrales du système d'observation des couleurs d'affichage (rouge-vert-bleu), qui ne leur correspondent pas nécessairement. Ce faisant, on crée des compositions colorées [...] 2, record 2, French, - composition%20color%C3%A9e

The planned working time establishes a baseline hours of work for each employee. This includes the number of hours per day; month; week; year and working days. The planned working time for part time employees identifies their weekly working hours. The planned working time is read by CATS to determine what an employee's target working hours are. In addition, the planned working time infotype is used to define an employee on compressed or a variable shift scheduling agreement. 1, record 7, English, - planned%20working%20time

A variation of the mixed lymphocyte culture(MLC) techniques that is a functional test of the ability of cytotoxic lymphocytes(CTL) to kill target cells. Lymphocytes from two individuals are cultured together for several days, one population having been prevented from proliferating by treatment with radiation or mitomycin(a "one-way" MLC) ;they are then cultured for several hours with 51CR-labeled target cells that are HLA-identical to the stimulator cells. Cytotoxicity is measured as percentage of 51CR released from specific target cells compared to percentage of 51CR released from control(nonspecific target) cells. 1, record 8, English, - cell%2Dmediated%20lympholysis
