Environment Canada has launched People and Jobs, an electronic inventory to help their employees match their skills and career interests with available job opportunities both inside and outside the Department. The system allows users to search for job opportunities by specific criteria such as job group and level or geographic location. It also allows users to input their resumes and make them available to managers who are staffing positions. Although the system was originally designed to help "downsized" employees find alternate employment, the pilot is to use this same system to help broker mobility opportunities for S&T(science and technology) personnel at Environment Canada. 1, record 2, English, - People%20and%20Jobs

Environnement Canada a lancé «Des travailleurs et des emplois», un répertoire électronique destiné à aider ses employés à harmoniser leurs compétences et leurs intérêts professionnels aux possibilités d'emploi offertes à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du Ministère. Ce nouveau système permet aux usagers de chercher des possibilités d'emploi d'après des critères particuliers notamment le groupe et le niveau du poste ou le lieu géographique du poste. Il permet également aux usagers d'entrer leur curriculum vitæ et de le mettre à la disposition des gestionnaires qui procèdent à la dotation en personnel de certains postes. Bien que le système ait été conçu à l'origine pour aider les employés «ayant fait l'objet de compressions d'effectif» à trouver un autre emploi, le projet pilote l'utilisera pour faciliter le courtage des possibilités de mobilité pour les employés du secteur S-T (sciences et technologie) d'Environnement Canada. 1, record 2, French, - Des%20travailleurs%20et%20des%20emplois

Entomotoxicology is a... branch of forensic entomology. The potential use of insects for detecting drugs and other toxins in decomposing tissues has been widely demonstrated. In death investigations, Diptera and other arthropods can be reliable alternate specimens for toxicological analyses in the absence of tissues and fluids normally taken for such purposes. Entomotoxicology also investigates the effects caused by drugs and toxins on arthropod development in order to assist the forensic postmortem interval estimates. 1, record 6, English, - entomotoxicology

A federal regulation calling for a 98 percent reduction in atmospheric emissions of benzene by September 1991 required all tar storage tanks to be gas-blanketed. The cost of gas-blanketing Tarben's 16 tar storage tanks--spread out over an area equal to about 15 football fields--was estimated at $6 million. As an alternate solution, Tarben developed an innovative technology known as "debenzolization" to remove benzene from the tar in the first processing step; subsequent storage could then use existing atmospheric tanks without the release of benzene or the need to gas-blanket. 2, record 9, English, - debenzolization

An example will illustrate how the computer assists the operation. Joe Smith delivers a truck load of grain to the elevator, and is directed by the central control board operator(CBO) to receiving pit. Using an alphanumeric keyboard, the CBO types in Smith's account number, the code number of the receiving pit(origin) and the code number of the selected bin(destination) in which his grain will be stored. The computer then determines all possible alternate routes between the receiving pit and the bin and displays them in detail on the video screen. The operator selects the route he wants to use by typing in the proper instruction. All but the selected route codes disappear from the video screen. The computer then determines all possible simultaneous routes that could be used without interference; the operator may later select any of these routes for another operation. 1, record 18, English, - central%20control%20board%20operator

Most mills without a direct-contact evaporator use a specially designed single-or multiple-stage, indirectly-heated evaporator, called a "concentrator", for increasing the solids level to 65-70%. Because the solubility limit of inorganic components is usually exceeded at higher solids concentrations, a relatively large volume of liquor must be pumped around to reduce deposits on tubes. Even so, a single-stage concentrator is usually cleaned frequently, and some mills require a spare unit for alternate service and cleaning. 1, record 21, English, - concentrator
