Record 4 2000-07-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Environment
CONT

The turbidity plume that formed close to the equipment ran the length of the wharf at a distance of about 50 m and rapidly dispersed; dilution factor was eight over 200 m (112 to 14 mg/L), dropping at 200 m to concentrations not statistically different from background.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Environnement
CONT

Le panache de turbidité qui se formait à proximité immédiate des équipements s'étirait le long du quai, à une distance d'environ 50 mètres de celui-ci et se dispersait rapidement, affichant un facteur de dilution de l'ordre de 8 sur 200 mètres (112 mg/L à 14 mg/L), atteignant alors des concentrations non statistiquement différentes des valeurs naturelles.

Record 5 1996-03-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

The factor by which the result of titration must be multiplied to obtain a result independent of the volume change of the sample taking place in instrumental methods of titration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
CONT

Avec un bruit de fond exprimé en unité d'indice de réfraction [...], une différence d'indice de réfraction entre la phase éluante et l'effluent égale à 0,1 unité et une injection de 5 [mu]L et un facteur de dilution de 25, la quantité minimale détectable est de l'ordre de 100 à 200 ng donc beaucoup plus importante qu'en absorptiométrie dans l'ultraviolet où elle est de l'ordre du nanogramme.
