The FRIEND (Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data) research programme is an international study in regional hydrology. Its aim is to develop a better understanding of hydrological variability and similarity across different regions through the mutual exchange of data, knowledge and techniques. Such knowledge is vital to improve practical water resource and flood design methods and in developing scenarios for environmental change. Capacity building is an important part of the project in developing countries. 3, record 4, English, - Flow%20Regimes%20from%20International%20Experimental%20and%20Network%20Data

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le coinceur à cames [...] communément appelé «friend» [...] doit sa tenue à l'écartement des cames lorsque l'on imprime une force sur son axe. Ce système lui confère une bonne tenue dans les fissures à bords parallèles, voir même dans des cas moins favorables : fissures irrégulières ou légèrement évasées, grâce au fonctionnement indépendant de ses cames. 5, record 5, French, - coinceur%20m%C3%A9canique
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Un ressort maintient les cames écartées. Une tirette permet de rapprocher les cames et ainsi de glisser le friend dans une fissure; lorsqu'on relâche, les cames se coincent sur les parois de la fissure et plus on tire, plus les cames se coincent. 6, record 5, French, - coinceur%20m%C3%A9canique
