Les oxydes d'azote (NOx) comprennent le monoxyde d'azote (NO) et le dioxyde d'azote (NO2). Ils se constituent principalement au cours des processus de combustion qui libèrent l'azote présent dans le combustible et l'azote présent dans l'air de combustion.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Agricultural Economics
CONT

With respect to financial support, the Government of Canada applies a whole-farm approach where all agricultural commodities have access to financial support regardless of the sector. This approach, as opposed to sector-specific support, is regarded as less trade distorting under international trade rules.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économie agricole
CONT

Pour ce qui est du soutien financier, le gouvernement du Canada utilise l'approche de l'exploitation agricole globale où toutes les denrées agricoles donnent droit à un soutien financier, peu importe le secteur. Cette approche, contrairement au soutien particulier à un secteur, est jugée moins perturbatrice au chapitre des échanges commerciaux selon les règles internationales.

  • Navigation Instruments
CONT

Rate gyroscopes provide a means for measuring angular rate about a particular axis and are traditionally used in a variety of high accuracy control and guidance systems in aircraft, missiles and ships. The conventional rate gyro, based on a high speed rotor, is a mature but relatively complex, delicate and expensive product. For these reasons and the increasing market for less expensive devices, a great deal of research effort has been invested into the development of a rate gyro with a vibrating sensitive element, which would eliminate the need for ball bearing suspensions and hence reduce the mechanical complexity and cost whilst greatly increasing life and robustness. The principle of operation of these devices is based on the coriolis force, which couples together two degenerate modes of vibration of the sensitive element when the sensor rotates.

OBS

rate gyro: A special kind of gyroscope that measures rotation rate around a fixed axis.

Key term(s)
  • classic gyrometer
  • classical gyrometer
  • conventional gyrometer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Instruments de navigation
CONT

Les erreurs de mesure des gyromètres laser peuvent être représentées par des modèles mathématiques beaucoup plus simples que ceux intervenant dans l'étude des gyromètres classiques. Cela résulte essentiellement de l'insensibilité des gyromètres laser aux accélérations.

OBS

gyromètre : Capteur gyroscopique à un ou plusieurs degrés de liberté, utilisé pour la mesure de vitesses angulaires.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

From a pedagogical standpoint, Brown and Burton note that grading based on the number and type of bugs or misconceptions manifested in a test would be fairer and more amenable to proper remediation than usual grading schemes based on the number of right and wrong answers. Since this proposal for more informative grading is backed by a practical method and puts to good pedagogical use the ability of computers to deal precisely with complex information, I hope that it will have an impact beyond the research laboratory. However, more proofs of feasibility to publicize this type of knowledge-oriented testing may be required before it can be widely adopted, since constructing theories of bugs is a very laborious process.
