"free carrier" means that the seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier nominated by the buyer at the named place. It should be noted that the chosen place of delivery has an impact on the obligations of loading the goods at that place. If delivery occurs at the seller's premises, the seller is responsible for loading. If delivery occurs at any other place, the seller is not responsible for unloading. This term may be used irrespective of the mode of transport, including multimodal transport. 3, record 4, English, - free%20carrier

«franco transporteur» signifie que le vendeur a dûment livré la marchandise dès lors que celle-ci, dédouanée à l'exportation, a été mise à la disposition du transporteur nommé par l'acheteur, au lieu convenu. Il convient de noter que le lieu de livraison choisi a une incidence sur les obligations de chargement et de déchargement de la marchandise en ce lieu. Si la livraison est effectuée dans les locaux du vendeur, ce dernier est responsable du chargement de la marchandise; si la livraison a lieu ailleurs, le vendeur n'est pas responsable du déchargement. Ce terme peut être utilisé pour tous modes de transport, y compris [pour les modes de] transport multimodal. 3, record 4, French, - franco%20transporteur

Le terme «transporteur» désigne toute personne qui, aux termes d'un contrat de transport, s'engage à effectuer ou faire effectuer un transport par rail, route, mer, air, voies navigables intérieures ou une combinaison de ces divers modes de transport.

Cette expression est basée pour l'essentiel sur le même principe que le terme F.O.B., à l'exception du fait que le vendeur remplit ses obligations lorsqu'il livre la marchandise entre les mains du transporteur au point convenu. S'il n'est pas possible de mentionner un point précis lors de la conclusion du contrat de vente, les parties devront se référer au lieu ou à la série de points où le transporteur devra prendre en charge la marchandise. Les risques d'avarie ou de perte de marchandise seront transférés du vendeur à l'acheteur au point de la prise en charge et non pas à la sortie du navire. 5, record 4, French, - franco%20transporteur

In the immobilized enzyme system, glucose-6-phosphate(G-6-P) produced by the first enzyme reaction, hexokinase, is immediately oxidized by the second enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, at a location close to the first one... This is a good example where diffusion resistance is efficiently utilized, and it suggests that the location of enzymes within cells significantly affects the enzyme reaction rate.... When the activity ratio of HK and G-6-PDH is small, the difference between immobilized and free enzymes becomes great..., while when it is high, the difference becomes small. In the latter case, it is considered that as the concentration of G-6-P within the carrier becomes very high due to the high activity of HK, the difference between the two systems becomes less apparent, because rather large amounts of G-6-P are released into the outer solution against the diffusion resistance. That is, when the activity ratio of HK and G-6-PDH is great, the diffusion resistance is not utilized efficiently. 1, record 9, English, - activity%20ratio
