The finishing operation is the final step in producing favrics and typically imparts the aesthetic and physical properties required for various fabric uses. These properties, achieved through a combination of chemical and mechanical processes, include shrinkage control, stain resistance, water repellency, and softness... 1, record 1, English, - finishing%20operation

Interactions between trees and urban environment have been studied by many authors... With pertinent trees planting, several improvements are expectable for aesthetic, visual, historical or symbolic purpose, for runoff, noise and pollutant control and from a microclimatic point of view. Some of these actions seem be obvious but it should be noticed that few information are available from literature for precise quantitative results. Most of existing results are based on measurements and can be considered only as specific data in a certain context. What happens if vegetation is introduced in a mineral space or if a building is constructed instead of a park? Extrapolations of measurements are often not possible, so only numerical simulations can afford advice to urban planners on the way they may improve urban environment. 1, record 2, English, - mineral%20space

[Il est] possible de distinguer de manière presque fiable (problème des sols nus) les espaces à composante végétale des espaces «minéraux». L'extraction de l'espace bâti ne peut être effectué à partir de ces seuls indices. En effet, on retrouve des formes de bâti urbain dans les zones à composante végétale. Par exemple, les zones pavillonnaires se caractérisent par une coexistence étroite entre de la végétation et des maisons. Le bâti urbain est par conséquent difficile à extraire. De la même manière, l'espace «minéral» est loin d'être homogène. Tout ce qui est «minéral» ne saurait être authentifié comme appartenant à de l'espace bâti (l'exemple des champs labourés est à ce point révélateur). Dans ces conditions, il s'agit de faire appel à de nouveaux critères pour extraire la composante «bâti» des espaces à dominante végétale et minérale à l'aide des images SPOT. On peut considérer en effet que l'espace bâti se distingue des autres espaces par sa texture. Prenons l'exemple d'une zone périurbaine où se côtoient des espaces bâtis, des champs labourés, des espaces à dominante végétale. Un champs labouré (minéral), une forêt (végétal), auront une texture relativement homogène, c'est-à-dire des valeurs de réponses de pixels proches. Un espace pavillonnaire quant à lui, sera constitué par une combinaison de valeurs de pixels distinctes les unes des autres. 3, record 2, French, - espace%20min%C3%A9ral

Earth berms and mounds are used to improve site drainage, to moderate the wind, create visual and noise buffers and enclose private space. Berms are often constructed from excess soil fill that otherwise would have to be removed from the site; they should have gentle slopes ..., appear in visual scale with surrounding landforms, have smoothly rounded edges ..., and have a sufficient covering of topsoil for plant growth. 1, record 3, English, - earth%20berms
