In a hierarchy of rules or objects, depth-first refers to a strategy in which one rule or object on the highest level is examined and then the rules or objects immediately below that one are examined. Proceeding in this manner, the system will search down a single branch of the hierarchy tree until it ends. This contrasts with breadth-first search. 3, record 1, English, - depth%2Dfirst%20search

Pershing II deployment is also quite independent of moves to modernize or replace older dual-capable aircraft in the NATO inventory. But other issues will determine its ultimate fate. They include topics such as arms-control initiatives, national opposition in some countries to basing nuclear missiles there, a fear that the US may ignore European anxieties and "go it alone" with the Soviets in a zealous pursuit of apparent arms limitations, and the US "dual key" system for controlling its nuclear weapons. 2, record 6, English, - dual%20key%20system

La mise en place des unités de Pershing II n’ interfère par ailleurs pratiquement pas avec les problèmes de modernisation ou de remplacement des avions de l'OTAN à mission double(classique ou nucléaire). Mais le destin final du Pershing II est subordonné au tour que prendront les choses dans d’autres domaines : initiatives nouvelles en matière de limitation des armements; opposition nationale, dans certains pays, au déploiement sur leur sol de missiles nucléaires; crainte de voir les États-Unis passer outre aux anxiétés européennes et traiter directement avec l'Union soviétique, obstinément fidèles à leur vain idéal de limitation; enfin, système de la "double clé", qui permet aux Américains de garder le contrôle de leurs armes nucléaires. 3, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20double%20cl%C3%A9
