[The] process of assigning individual pixels of an image to categories, generally on the basis of spectral reflectance characteristics. 2, record 1, English, - classification
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Digital image classification is the process of assigning a pixel (or groups of pixels) of remote sensing image to a land cover class. The objective is to classify each pixel into only one class (crisp or hard classification) or to associate the pixel with many classes (fuzzy or soft classification). The classification techniques may be categorized either on the basis of training process (supervised and unsupervised) or on the basis of theoretical model (parametric and non-parametric). Several classification algorithms (classifiers) have been developed under this categorization. 3, record 1, English, - classification

Although we can't directly compare sedimentation constants and molecular weights it is helpful to have a rough idea of the corresponding ranges. A value of 2S will be obtained for nearly spherical proteins with molecular weights somewhat over 10,000; long, thin molecules having sedimentation constants of 2S may have molecular weights over 50,000. Similarly, 4S crudely corresponds to a molecular weight of 50,000 for spherical proteins, 8S to 160,000 and 16S to 400,000; the molecular weights of long, thin molecules with the same sedimentation constants are several-fold greater. 3, record 3, English, - Svedberg%20unit

Dobb tente d’expliquer ce point, qui reste un mystère pour le mathématicien, en se référant à des faits simples, que l'on apprend en général à l'école : comme on le sait, il est tout aussi possible de construire un volume tridimensionnel correct sur le plan géométrique, ne serait-ce qu'un parallélépipède, possédant son équivalent dans la réalité sous forme de cube, que de former, de la même manière, un volume géométrique à quatre, cinq ou n dimensions(un objet à quatre dimensions est ce que l'on appelle un tesseract). Ces dimensions-là ne possèdent pas d’équivalents dans la réalité, et nous pouvons en acquérir la certitude puisque du fait de l'absence d’une quatrième dimension physique, il est impossible de construire un cube ayant vraiment quatre dimensions. 1, record 5, French, - tesseract
