Record 1 1982-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Scientific and Technical Vocabulary
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

Part of the pollution can be removed by the use of powdered activated carbon, though without a marked reduction being achieved. This method of treatment will be used to iron out the pollution peaks. The buffer effect of the sludge blanket of a Pulsator clarifier helps this action.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vocabulaire technique et scientifique général
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

L'emploi du charbon actif en poudre permet d'éliminer une partie de la pollution, sans pouvoir atteindre une réduction très poussée. On utilisera ce mode de traitement pour raboter les pointes de pollution. L'effet tampon du lit de boue d'un décanteur Pulsator favorise cette action.

Record 2 1980-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
CONT

... the method of moving averages ... can obtain a curve which will smooth out fluctuations in a time series and thus indicate the general direction of the trend.

OBS

The verb smooth is often used with the preposition out or away. (Cf. WEINT, 1961, p. 2376).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes statistiques
DEF

Éliminer les fluctuations rapides (d'un phénomène) pour ne retenir que l'évolution moyenne.

CONT

Ajustements graphiques. Il s'agit «à main levée» de raboter au mieux les creux et les bosses (ou encore de lisser la ligne brisée). On tentera donc d'égaliser les écarts positifs et les écarts négatifs par rapport aux points de la courbe ajustée.
