The lesser grain borer is a cosmopolitan insect, but it survives best in tropical climates where it attacks cereals as well as milo and sorghum.... The lesser grain borer is a much more ferocious feeder than weevils and what they do not eat they spoil. The female lays about 300 to 400 eggs and the larvae feed on the kernel remains left by their parents. At 34 degrees C, it takes 25 days for a complete life cycle. The lesser grain borer is a small brown insect with a cylindrical form, about 3 millimetres long. Looking at the insect from the top, its head is completely hidden by the thorax, which forms a hood-like cover. Pronounced knobs protrude from the thorax. 2, record 1, English, - lesser%20grain%20borer

Le petit perceur des céréales est un insecte cosmopolite, qui prolifère toutefois essentiellement dans les régions tropicales où il attaque les céréales ainsi que le mil et le sorgho. [...] Le petit perceur des céréales est beaucoup plus vorace que les charançons; de plus, il gaspille une plus grande partie des céréales qu'il attaque. La femelle pond environ de trois cents à quatre cents œufs, et les larves se nourrissent des reliefs laissés par les adultes. À 34 degrés C, il faut vingt-cinq jours à l'insecte pour compléter son cycle évolutif. Le petit perceur des céréales est un insecte de couleur brune, de forme cylindrique, qui mesure 3,0 mm de longueur. Vue de haut, sa tête demeure entièrement cachée par le thorax qui l'encapuchonne et dont la surface dorsale, très bombée, forme de petites dents analogues à celles d'une râpe. 2, record 1, French, - petit%20perceur%20des%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9ales

A representative medium-consistency system is shown in Figure 11-19. Pulp from a brown stock washer or decker at about 10-14% consistency is charged with caustic or oxidized white liquor. It is then preheated in a low-pressure steam mixer and pumped through one or more medium-consistency gas mixers to an upflow pressurized reaction tower. Steam and oxygen are added upstream of the medium-consistency mixer or are added directly into it. The reactor bottom may be hemispherical or conical, and the top is equipped with a discharger.... The stock is depressurized through a separator where steam is flashed and small amounts of by-product gases, oxygen and other noncondensibles are released. 1, record 8, English, - medium%2Dconsistency%20oxygen%20delignification
