Foro Internacional de Energía (FIE): en 1991 en Francia se llevó a cabo el primer seminario internacional de ministros sobre energía con el fin de fomentar un diálogo a nivel internacional y alcanzar la seguridad energética. A partir de 1994, se nombró de manera oficial "Foro Internacional de Energía", en la cual se pactó que los ministros de energía de los países interesados se reunieran cada dos años. Los países que participan el FIE incluyen no sólo a los miembros principales de la Agencia Internacional de Energía (AIE) y de la Organización de Países Exportadores de Petróleo (OPEP), sino también a economías emergentes como Brasil, China, India, México, Rusia y Sudáfrica. 1, record 5, Spanish, - Foro%20Internacional%20de%20la%20Energ%C3%ADa

Electrophoresis in a stabilised pH gradient. High-resolution method for separating molecules, especially proteins, which carry both positive and negative charges. Molecules migrate to the pH corresponding to their isoelectric point. The gradient is produced by electrophoresis of amphiphiles, which are heterogenous molecules giving a continuum of isoelectric points. Resolution is determined by the number of amphiphile species and the evenness of distribution of their isoelectric points. 3, record 8, English, - isoelectric%20focusing

Méthode de séparation très résolutive des protéines qui repose sur la distinction de ces macromolécules selon leur point isoélectrique (pHi). Elle consiste à utiliser des ampholines de différents pH; la protéine est retenue par celle qui correspond à son point isoélectrique. Chaque protéine en effet, comme n'importe quel ampholyte, est définie par son point isoélectrique, valeur du pH du milieu pour lequel sa charge électrique résultante est nulle. Placée à un pH supérieur à son pHi la protéine se charge négativement par perte de protons. A un pH inférieur au pHi, la protéine se charge positivement par capture de protons. Sous l'influence d'un champ électrique continu, les molécules protéiniques migreront soit vers l'anode, soit vers la cathode, en fonction de leurs charges. 2, record 8, French, - %C3%A9lectrofocalisation

For purposes of the National Occupational Classification, the educational requirements for all occupations are rated by a scale referred to as the "Education/Training Indicator" or ETI. In establishing ETI rating, an occupation that "usually requires" a particular level of education is treated as always requiring that level of education. Thus, the ETI is "8" for any occupation that always requires a master's degree or that usually requires a master's degree. 3, record 10, English, - Education%20and%20Training%20Indicator
