Una central nuclear, o planta nuclear, es una instalación industrial empleada para la generación de energía eléctrica a partir de energía nuclear. Se caracteriza por el empleo de combustible nuclear, compuesto básicamente por material fisionable. [...] reacciones nucleares proporcionan calor que es empleado a través de un ciclo termodinámico convencional para producir el movimiento de alternadores, transformando el trabajo mecánico en energía eléctrica. 2, record 1, Spanish, - central%20nuclear

The high demand for low-cost sequencing has driven the development of high-throughput sequencing (or next-generation sequencing) technologies that parallelize the sequencing process, producing thousands or millions of sequences concurrently. High-throughput sequencing technologies are intended to lower the cost of DNA sequencing beyond what is possible with standard dye-terminator methods. In ultra-high-throughput sequencing as many as 500,000 sequencing-by-synthesis operations may be run in parallel. 4, record 2, English, - high%2Dthroughput%20sequencing

Le champ d’application de ces nouvelles méthodes de séquençage est très vaste. En effet, à partir du moment où il est possible d’obtenir une molécule d’ADN, le séquençage à haut débit peut être utilisé. Grâce à la capacité de ces machines à fournir de grandes quantités de séquences ou de travailler sur un grand nombre d’échantillons en parallèle, ces outils permettent de couvrir plusieurs technologies différentes employées jusqu’à maintenant comme les puces à ADN, le séquençage classique de Sanger ou la PCR [polymerase chain reaction] quantitative à haut débit. 3, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9quen%C3%A7age%20%C3%A0%20haut%20d%C3%A9bit

The National Geodetic Survey, our Nation's first civilian scientific agency, was established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast. Its mission soon included surveys of the interior as the nation grew westward. In 1878 the agency was reorganized and given a new name, the Coast and Geodetic Survey (C&GS), which it maintained until 1970. In 1970 a reorganization created the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Ocean Service (NOS) was created as a line office of NOAA. To acknowledge the geodetic portion of NOAA mission, the part of NOS responsible for geodetic functions was named the National Geodetic Survey. 1, record 4, English, - National%20Geodetic%20Survey
