The upper water layer of the ocean contains air bubbles, induced by wind and waves. These air bubbles attenuate the sound transmission and reception from a hull-mounted transducer... The thickness of the bubble layer may be 5-10 m, or more, depending on the sea state. A towed transducer operates below this bubble layer. The transducer is closer to the fish. This gives a better signal to noise ratio, and also the resolution of single fish is improved because the width of the sound beam is smaller.

In the region below the surface, snow compaction is thought to occur in three stages. In the first stage near the surface, compaction occurs by grain growth and rearrangement due to grain boundary sliding. In the second stage, compaction occurs through increasing overburden pressure inducing creep deformation and sintering. In the final stage, interconnected pores have closed off, and further compaction is caused by air bubble compression. 3, record 4, English, - snow%20compaction

An air bubble system was introduced on Baltic icebreaking vessels in the 1970s. The system uses one or more air compressors to force air through nozzles at the ship's side below the water-line. The air bubbles rise to the surface together with entrained water, lubricating the interface between the ice and the ship's hull, both above and below the water-line. 1, record 7, English, - air%20bubble%20system

Un système de production de bulles d'air (bullage) a été adopté pendant les années 1970 dans les brise-glace de la Baltique. Ce système utilise un ou plusieurs compresseurs pour pulser de l'air dans des buses latérales au-dessous de la ligne de flottaison. Les bulles montent à la surface avec l'eau entraînée, lubrifiant la zone de contact entre les glaces et la coque, tant au-dessus qu'au-dessous de la ligne de flottaison. 1, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20production%20de%20bulles%20d%27air

Since alteration means change, change in the environment is synonymous with alteration. In this case, it is a change for the worse. Often the effects of alteration are neither immediately discernible nor accurately predictable. Who can foresee what will happen to a 1970 American baby who is born in an air-conditioned hospital, taken home in an air-conditioned car, reared in an air-conditioned apartment, schooled in an air-conditioned school and amused by recreational activities in an air-conditioned bubble? This unnatural alteration of normal rises and falls in daily temperature may result in eventual genetic changes. And what alteration is being wrought on the urban atmosphere during the summer while hundreds of thousands of air-conditioned apartments and homes pump their waste heat out into the atmosphere and the occupants undergo alteration of temperature and humidity inside? Undesirable levels of pollutants-toxic and otherwise-of course cause alteration of air, water and soil. 1, record 9, English, - change%20in%20the%20environment

La source CILFG-20 («Dict. des secours d'urgence en cas de catastrophe», par William S. Gunn) définit le terme «altération de l'environnement» comme une «Modification, favorable ou défavorable, de l'état de l'environnement». Selon nous, cependant, «altération» ne peut en fait être considéré comme un synonyme de «modification» que si la modification est défavorable (ce qui est presque toujours le cas néanmoins). En effet, altérer veut dire «modifier en mal l'état normal d'une chose, dénaturer l'état normal de quelque chose» [d'après le Grand dict. encycl.

A frangible bulb in a detection device holds electrical contacts apart much in the way that a fusible device does. The little glass vial(frangible bulb) contains a liquid with a small air bubble. The bulb is designed to break when the liquid is heated to a predetermined temperature. When rated temperature is reached, the liquid expands and absorbs the air bubble, the bulb fractures and falls out, and the contact completes the circuit to initiate an alarm. 1, record 13, English, - frangible%20bulb

Une ampoule cassante dans un dispositif de détection d'incendie sépare les contacts électriques, de la même façon qu'un dispositif fusible. La petite ampoule de verre (ampoule cassante) contient un liquide et une petite bulle d'air. Cette ampoule est conçue pour se casser lorsque le liquide atteint une température prédéterminée sous l'effet de la chaleur. Lorsque cette température est atteinte, le liquide se dilate et absorbe la bulle d'air; l'ampoule se casse et tombe, ce qui ferme le circuit et déclenche une alarme. 1, record 13, French, - ampoule%20cassante

[Air diffusion aeration. ] Several air diffusion devices have been developed which jet air into the sewage and depend upon the shearing action of the rising air to break it into small bubbles.
