English

Subject field(s)
  • Pulp and Paper
DEF

Irreversible alteration, generally deterioration, of the characteristics of paper or board in the course of time.

CONT

The greatest determinant of the condition of paper remains the integrity of the cellulose fibres. The cellulose polymer is prone to chemical and physical damage that weakens the fibre network on a submicroscopic level, eventually manifesting in visible degradation. The principle mechanism of deterioration is chain scission(the long polymer is reduced to shorter and shorter segments) ;as this happens, the paper begins to lose its physical strength and may become discoloured. As the aging of paper decreases the length of the underlying cellulose chains and therefore the paper fibres, papers that started with longer fibres can undergo further aging before losing mechanical strength.

OBS

ageing: designation and definition standardized by ISO in 2016.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pâtes et papier
DEF

Altération irréversible, qui est généralement une détérioration, des caractéristiques du papier ou du carton, au cours du temps.

CONT

[...] l'état physique du papier dépend avant tout de l'intégrité structurale des chaînes de cellulose qui le composent. Le polymère cellulosique a tendance à subir des détériorations chimiques et physiques, qui fragilisent le réseau de fibres à l'échelle submicroscopique et entraînent une dégradation visible du papier. Le principal mécanisme de détérioration est la scission des chaînes (le long polymère est graduellement réduit en segments de plus en plus petits). Le papier commence alors à perdre sa résistance mécanique et risque de jaunir. Parce que le vieillissement diminue la longueur des chaînes cellulosiques et, par le fait même, rend les fibres de papier de plus en plus courtes, les papiers faits de fibres plus longues prennent plus de temps avant de perdre de leur résistance mécanique.

Any organization is a network of principal-agent relationships. The accountability structure defines the rules of the game, ie, the chain of command and control, and the formal authority that each principal and agent is governed by. As in all such relationships there are informational asymmetrics and monitoring problems, and inducing agent to act according to the objectives and coordinating the activities of these various actors, are the key issues of organization design.

Le concept continue d'évoluer dans la sphère fédérale avec le projet d'amendements au Code canadien du travail qui vise à obliger les grands employeurs à établir un comité conjoint de santé et de sécurité avec des pouvoirs plus étendus et un comité de politiques relatives à la santé et à la sécurité. Ce comité offre un modèle intéressant de structure de responsabilité interne pour les droits de la personne.

A urethane is formed from the reaction of an isocyanate with an alcohol. In general, polyurethanes are made using a diisocyanate, a low molecular weight diol(thermoplastic) and/or triol(cross-linked), and a polyether glycol or a polyester glycol. If the reagents are difunctional, a non cross-linked thermoplastic polyurethane will be formed; if the functionality of at least one of the reagents is greater than two, a cross-linked or three dimensional network will form. Cross-linked polyurethanes exhibit less mechanical creep than non cross-linked polyurethanes. The rubbery modulus of polyurethanes increases as the level of cross-linking is increased. Polyurethanes are diblock copolymers. They consist of hard segments(isocyanate and the chain extender rich areas) that act as physical crosslinks, and soft segments(polyether or polyester glycol rich areas).

The open networked organization is based on cooperative, multidisciplinary teams and businesses networked together across the enterprise. Rather than a rigid structure, it is a modular organizational architecture in which business teams operate as a network of... client and server functions.... As servers, they receive requests or directions from clients,... and add value for the purpose of serving these clients. The new model is derived from Michael Porter's concept of "value chain, "but extended into the notion of a value network--reflecting the rise of the open networked enterprise.... The provision of value is not something chained in a linear way, but rather generated through an ever-changing open network. It is a model designed to encourage flexibility, innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsiveness.
