Record 4 2010-08-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
CONT

A sometimes useful unit of concentration in quantitative analysis is normality (N). A one-normal solution contains one equivalent/liter. An equivalent is a mole multiplied by the number of reacting units for each molecule or atom.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Rapport de la concentration d'une solution titrée à celle de la solution normale du même corps dissous. (La normalité d'une solution normale est égale à l'unité.)

OBS

Par extension : concentration équivalente.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química analítica
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
DEF

Concentración de una disolución de un cuerpo, que se expresa tomando como unidad la concentración del mismo en la correspondiente disolución normal [...]

Record 5 1988-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

The term indicator implies a movement of some variable away from a known or set normality, that is, it indicates that a change has occurred. As such, indicators have received a lot of attention in the context of baseline studies and monitoring but, by definition, have limited use in a predictive sense. Most of the following discussion will reflect this monitoring role for environmental indicators in impact assessment.

Record 7 1986-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Econometrics
CONT

In order to make statements about the probability of mean profits or losses after a given number of bets, an assumption must be made about the distribution of returns. Returns are assumed to be normally distributed with population parameters given by their sample estimates. Each series of returns is tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of normality. In no case can the hypothesis that the returns were drawn from a normal population be rejected at the 90 per cent level.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économétrie
CONT

Pour calculer la probabilité que l'on réalise un profit moyen ou une perte moyenne après un certain nombre de paris, il faut d'abord formuler une hypothèse au sujet de la distribution des rendements. On suppose que les rendements sont distribués de façon normale, les paramètres de la population étant donnés par les valeurs estimées à partir de l'échantillon. Chaque série de rendements est ensuite soumise au test de normalité de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. On ne peut en aucun cas rejeter à un seuil de signification de 90% l'hypothèse que les rendements sont tirés d'une population normale.
