Immature hay is both more easily digested by, and more appetizing to, horses. This is because it is lower in nonstructural carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and is typically softer, greener and leafier. 3, record 1, English, - immature%20hay

Explosively drive upward with legs, driving barbell up off shoulders. Drop body downward and split one foot forward and other backward as fast as possible while vigorously extending arms overhead. The split position places front shin vertical to floor with front foot flat on floor. The rear knee is slightly bent with rear foot positioned on toes. The bar should be positioned directly over ears at arms length with back straight. Push up with both legs. Position feet side by side by bringing front foot back partway and then rear foot forward.

The frequency at which a sound wave incident upon a surface has a projected wavelength equal to the length of the bending wave excited in the surface material. The effect of this "trace matching" is a marked reduction in the sound transmission loss in the frequency region in which this occurs. The frequency is a function of the angle at which the sound impinges on the surface, the surface weight, and bending stiffness of the surface. 2, record 3, English, - coincidence%20frequency

Les pertes de transmission du son par les cloisons et les planchers dépendent également de la rigidité. Les courbes des pertes de transmission de son pour les matériaux rigides présentent des creux à certaines fréquences par rapport aux pertes calculées selon la loi de masse. Cet effet dit de coïncidence entraîne souvent un ITS plus faible. Les matériaux peu rigides comme les feuilles de plomb n'ont pas de creux de coïncidence. Les fréquences de coïncidence des différents matériaux se produisent dans diverses parties du spectre acoustique, parfois en dehors de la gamme normale utilisée en acoustique du bâtiment. 2, record 3, French, - fr%C3%A9quence%20de%20co%C3%AFncidence

The Aztec word for a spear throwing stick device. 4, record 4, English, - atlatl
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This projectile propulsion device preceded the bow and arrow. In general, a wooden or bone stick or board with a hand grip at one end and a spur or hook at the other end. The atlatl is used as an extension of the arm in throwing a spear or dart. The spear shaft is socketed and fits into the spur or hook of the Atlatl. Essentially the Atlatl lengthens the length of the spear thrower's arm and with loaded, spring-like, motion can provide the benefit of greater force and distance over that of the hand thrown spear. It is hypothesized that sometimes a stone weight(s)(a. k. a. : Bannerstone, Birdstone, Boatstone) was attached to the Atlatl to provide better balance or to load the device with a spring or bending effect or to diminish the "whoosh" noise created during the throwing process. 4, record 4, English, - atlatl

L'atlatl a servi pendant très longtemps à lancer les javelots des chasseurs ou des guerriers. Encore maintenant, ce propulseur mécanique reste utilisé par les chasseurs de l'Alaska et d'Australie. Les hommes installent une extrémité de leur lance dans la planche juste avant de l'envoyer, pour multiplier leur force et donc la vitesse de la lance dans l'air. Grâce à l'atlatl, les lances atteignent des vitesses de 100 km/h sur une distance de 200 mètres. 1, record 4, French, - atlatl

Resisting bending moment (RBM) [is] a calculation used to compare frames of different section modulus and of different material. It is the product of the section modulus times the yield strength of the frame material. The formula is expressed as: RBM = Section Modulus x Yield Strength. 5, record 5, English, - resisting%20bending%20moment

The mainframe of a heavy or medium-duty truck or tractor consists of a pair of C-section rails running the vehicle's length... joined by C-, T-, L-or hat-section crossmembers.... "Resisting bending moment, "or RBM [is] measured in inch-pounds. RBM describes the frame's ability to withstand twisting forces as well as its carrying ability... A road tractor's frame might be built with an RBM of 1. 3 million to 1. 6 million inch-pounds, while a quad-rear-axle dump truck's frame might have an RBM of 3 million inch-pounds. Yes, those are torque values, because torque is what's applied to the frame as the vehicle rocks and rolls its way over a jobsite or roadway, and its load pulls and pushes on the frame. 6, record 5, English, - resisting%20bending%20moment
