It is evident that the mountains situated in the tropics have an almost equinoctial yearly sun pattern, whilst in the upper temperate and boreal zones the day span varies widely throughout the year. As a consequence, the daily temperature cycle in tropical mountains shows, all the year round, an almost continuous pattern of severe night frosts and high day temperatures, which implies there is a daily thaw. 1, record 2, English, - daily%20temperature%20cycle

Un dernier mécanisme régulateur de la mise à fleurs est enfin la température, et tout spécialement les cycles quotidiens ou annuels de température, autrement dit le thermopériodisme. [...] Les cycles quotidiens de température agissent de la façon la plus puissante, aussi bien sur la formation des fleurs que sur l'ensemble de la vitalité de la plante. Par exemple, les tomates perdent leurs boutons ou leurs jeunes fruits si elles sont maintenues constamment à une température trop chaude : plus de 26 à 30° selon les variétés. Mais si elles reçoivent chaque nuit quelques heures de température fraîche, l'action nocive des températures trop chaudes ne se produit plus. Chez d'autres plantes, le phénomène peut être différent ou même inversé. 1, record 2, French, - cycle%20quotidien%20de%20temp%C3%A9rature

Thrust augmentation system developed by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada to increase vertical lift characteristics of proposed supersonic short takeoff and vertical landing fighter aircraft. Basically, an ejector mixes a secondary flow of air with the primary flow from a turbofan engine within an encasing shroud. This has the effect of increasing the thrust by 50 to 100 percent. Augmented primary thrust is ejected through a nozzle. When the ejector is within or part of the fuselage, it is referred to as a fuselage ejector, or fuselage ejector lift. 1, record 3, English, - ejector%20lift%2Fvectored%20thrust
