Vidéo produit en 1984 par les Productions du Verseau, Montréal(Québec). Nadine, 13 ans, vit dans une famille d’accueil. Comme bien des enfants qui ont manqué d’affectation, elle ressent un immense vide qu'elle cherche à combler par tous les moyens, comme voler. Toutes les gentillesses, toutes les attentions de sa «famille d’emprunt» lui semblent dérisoires. Nadine est renvoyée au centre d’accueil. Le cheminement qu'ont à faire les enfants mal aimés n’ est pas sans embûches. Ils ne se sont jamais sentis objets de désir pour leurs parents. Ils se perçoivent comme des êtres mauvais, malfaisants. Ils doivent, malgré tout, apprendre à fonctionner, même le cœur en écharpe. 1, record 1, French, - Les%20enfants%20mal%20aim%C3%A9s%20%2D%20Nadine

À l'origine du projet, la création d’un Centre de données de subsurface pour le programme TOGA devait combler le vide existant entre les Centres de données spécialisées travaillant en temps réel et les Centres traditionnels d’archivage de données océanographiques. L'originalité de ce centre était de tenter de combiner les avantages de ces deux modes de gestion, la rapidité d’accessibilité aux données du premier et l'intégralité et la qualité de la collection du second, en évitant leurs inconvénients respectifs. Le fonctionnement de ce Centre repose donc sur le principe de la «mise à jour continue» dans une base de données unique, les données reçues directement des scientifiques venant progressivement remplacer et compléter le jeu de données reçu en temps réel(SMT). 1, record 8, French, - centre%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20de%20subsurface
