Une représentation précise du relief est indispensable pour de très nombreuses applications de gestion du territoire. Les modèles numériques de terrain (MNT) et de modèles numériques de surface (MNS) sont des représentations simplifiées de l'altimétrie du sol. Le MNT est une représentation de l'altitude du «terrain nu» sans infrastructure, alors que le MNS reproduit la forme de la surface terrestre en incluant tous les éléments permanents et visibles du paysage tels que le sol et les bâtiments. 1, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20num%C3%A9rique%20de%20surface

A complex system (MNSs) consisting principally of two pairs of antigens determined by closely linked genes (cross-overs have been observed, but rarely). M and N, determined by allelic genes, depend on sialic (neuraminic) acid residues. S and s are also determined by allelic genes, and an amorphic gene is common in blacks when another antigen (U) is missing. The system also include numerous low frequency antigens. 1, record 7, English, - MN%20blood%20group
