English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
DEF

The biological process by which certain types of synaptic stimulation – such as prolonged low frequency input – result in a long-lasting decrease in the strength of synaptic transmission.

OBS

It is thought that the mechanisms underlying LTD, together with those underlying long-term potentiation, may contribute to synaptic plasticity during learning.

Record 4 2005-11-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
  • Audio Technology
DEF

The process of preparing data to be recorded into a compact disc.

OBS

This includes dividing data into sections and recording those sections with the appropriate header (address) and error correction information. In the case of recordable CD systems, premastering and mastering are done in one operation, resulting in a ready-to-read compact disc.

OBS

mastering: the process of creating a glass master from which compact discs will be reproduced in quantity.

OBS

glass master: master for CD production. Pits representing the digital information on a CD are physically etched as pits in the glass. A mold is made from the glass master, in which the CD's are subsequently molded.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
  • Électroacoustique
DEF

Première étape du pressage qui consiste à rassembler les informations sur [une matrice] du type CD ou DLT [Digital Linear Tape : bande linéaire numérique] pour la mastérisation.

Record 6 2003-11-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
DEF

A defect of an optical system in which the magnification varies with angular distance from the axis, causing straight lines to appear curved.

CONT

The hyperspectral imaging modules are primarily based on flat field diffraction grating technology which allows direct application of spectral unmixing algorithms on the uncorrected data arriving from the sensor, since corrections for optical distortion are unnecessary.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
DEF

Défaut d’un système optique qui fait en sorte que l’agrandissement varie avec la distance angulaire de l’axe, et déforme les lignes droites de sorte qu’elles paraissent courbées.

CONT

La transformation linéaire directe, plus connue sous le sigle anglais de DLT pour Direct Linear Transformation, permet de lier les coordonnées images et terrain par une relation linéaire si la modélisation des phénomènes de distorsion optique n’ entre pas en ligne de compte.
