Hydro-flattening is the process of creating a lidar [light detection and ranging]-derived DEM [digital elevation model] in which water surfaces appear and behave as they would in traditional topographic DEMs created from photogrammetric digital terrain models (DTMs). 5, record 3, English, - hydrological%20flattening
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[A] digital elevation model(DEM) or triangulated irregular network(TIN) derived from LiDAR [light detection and ranging] data will show unpleasant and unnatural water surface due to the fact that LiDAR data does not provide natural breaklines and the elevations of water points is not uniform. Furthermore, hydrologic connectivity in water surfaces is necessary to ensure that the elevation of water surface decreases from upstream(U/S) to downstream(D/S). Therefore, the LiDAR data is hydro-flattened so that water bodies such as streams, rivers, and long reservoirs show an elevation change along their length, whereas ponds, lakes, or other cartographically polygonal water surfaces show a static water surface, consistent with their natural behavior and the surrounding topography... 6, record 3, English, - hydrological%20flattening

Since alteration means change, change in the environment is synonymous with alteration. In this case, it is a change for the worse. Often the effects of alteration are neither immediately discernible nor accurately predictable. Who can foresee what will happen to a 1970 American baby who is born in an air-conditioned hospital, taken home in an air-conditioned car, reared in an air-conditioned apartment, schooled in an air-conditioned school and amused by recreational activities in an air-conditioned bubble? This unnatural alteration of normal rises and falls in daily temperature may result in eventual genetic changes. And what alteration is being wrought on the urban atmosphere during the summer while hundreds of thousands of air-conditioned apartments and homes pump their waste heat out into the atmosphere and the occupants undergo alteration of temperature and humidity inside? Undesirable levels of pollutants-toxic and otherwise-of course cause alteration of air, water and soil. 1, record 11, English, - change%20in%20the%20environment

La source CILFG-20 («Dict. des secours d'urgence en cas de catastrophe», par William S. Gunn) définit le terme «altération de l'environnement» comme une «Modification, favorable ou défavorable, de l'état de l'environnement». Selon nous, cependant, «altération» ne peut en fait être considéré comme un synonyme de «modification» que si la modification est défavorable (ce qui est presque toujours le cas néanmoins). En effet, altérer veut dire «modifier en mal l'état normal d'une chose, dénaturer l'état normal de quelque chose» [d'après le Grand dict. encycl.

Au XIe siècle, les théologiens commencent à associer crime contre nature et hérésie, en réponse aux conceptions divergentes qui se répandent un peu partout ; la sodomie, en tant que crime contre nature par excellence, fait partie des pratiques hérétiques, puisqu'elle nie la nature créée par Dieu. 3, record 12, French, - crime%20contre%20nature

[Cet effet], qui doit être absolument évité, intervient lors de certains mouvements lents de l'appareil de prise de vue (le plus souvent les panoramiques horizontaux). Un effet de saccade désagréable se produit à 24, 25 ou 30 images par seconde et il est atténué voire inexistant à 50 ou 60 trames par seconde. Ceci est dû au fait que le cerveau est trompé dans sa tentative de prédiction des mouvements de l'image à cause de la nature fréquentielle de la diffusion télévisée et de la projection cinématographique. 1, record 13, French, - effet%20de%20saccade
