Zone of proximal development is the difference between the child's capacity to solve problems on his own, and his capacity to solve them with assistance. In other words, the actual developmental level refers to all the functions and activities that a child can perform on his own, independently without the help of anyone else. On the other hand, the zone of proximal development includes all the functions and activities that a child or a learner can perform only with the assistance of someone else. The person who intervenes in this scaffolding process could be an adult(parent, teacher, caretaker, language instructor) or another peer who has already mastered that particular function. 1, record 5, English, - zone%20of%20proximal%20development

Une augmentation des températures due à un doublement de CO2 aura les conséquences suivantes : [...] des périodes de déficit d'humidité du sol plus longues entre les saisons de pluies, entraînant une réduction des activités agricoles et une avancée remarquable des zones arides vers les zones semi-arides, et des zones semi-arides vers les zones humides, conduisant ainsi à un rétrécissement des zones humides des régions montagneuses. 6, record 13, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20d%27humidit%C3%A9%20du%20sol

A gas burner in which the actual combustion begins in a refractory tunnel or tuyere block. It is a relatively high capacity partial-premix type of gun burner, which uses the kinetic energy of the gas stream issuing from the orifice to bring in at least part of the air required for combustion. A wide range of control of flame characteristics is obtained by adjustment of the primary air, thus causing combustion to be delayed until secondary air can reach the air-fuel mixture. 1, record 14, English, - tunnel%20burner
