Chantigny et autres (2014) ont mesuré une diminution de l'azote organique du sol au cours de la saison hivernale et l'attribuaient en partie aux processus de minéralisation des résidus de culture par les microorganismes se déroulant durant cette période. Cependant, comme les variations mesurées des quantités d'azote organique perdues ont dépassé l'apport des résidus de culture, ils ont conclu que des processus de décomposition des racines et des microorganismes morts contribuaient aussi à cette diminution. 2, record 1, French, - apport%20des%20r%C3%A9sidus%20de%20culture

Combustion Override Split Production Horizontal Well Process(COSH). The main feature of this process, developed by the Alberta Research Council(ARC), is implementation of gravity drainage using a basal horizontal well in a combustion process. The configuration of different wells is critical to the operation of this process. A linear configuration of vertical air injection wells is drilled and completed in the upper portion of the reservoir. A horizontal oil production well is completed in the bottom of the reservoir, aligned and positioned beneath the vertical injection wells. The reservoir is prepared for ignition and combustion is initiated at each of the injection wells. A hot fluid-transmissive chamber is formed around each of the injection wells as combustion proceeds. Combustion gas communication is established with the gas production wells. Heated oil and water, produced by the combustion front in each hot chamber, drains under the effect of gravity and is brought to the surface through the horizontal production well. 3, record 6, English, - combustion%20override%20split%20production%20horizontal%20well%20process

Ce procédé est fondé sur le principe de la combustion in-situ par injection d'air. L'allumage de l'air provoque la combustion de l'oxygène contenu dans l'air au contact de l'huile qui, elle, est oxydée. Par rapport à un procédé conventionnel de combustion où le front de combustion se propage entre deux puits distants horizontalement de plusieurs dizaines de mètres, l'idée proposée ici est de voir se créer un front de combustion qui se propage de haut en bas dans un réservoir entre un puits vertical situé en haut du réservoir dans la couche imprégnée d'huile et un puits horizontal situé en bas du réservoir. L'air étant composé d'azote et l'oxygène, quand la combustion a lieu, elle a pour effet de voir disparaître l'oxygène qui réagit avec l'huile pour donner une huile oxydée, du CO2 et de l'eau. Reste l'azote qui par gravité va rester sous forme de chapeau de gaz (ou «gas cap») dans la partie supérieure du réservoir. Pour évacuer cet azote et éviter qu'il ne fasse cesser la combustion, il est proposé de le produire par des puits verticaux situés latéralement par rapport aux deux puits déjà cités. Ce procédé a été testé au laboratoire mais n'a pas été validé sur champ.

Cette technique permet en effet d'améliorer considérablement la productivité d'un puits et d'augmenter le taux de récupération ultime.

During delignification, there is also a corresponding reduction in pulp viscosity.... If pulp viscosity is allowed to fall below a critical level, the pulp strength drops dramatically. Maintenance of pulp viscosity is the principal reason that the kraft cook must be terminated at a point where a substantial level of residual lignin remains with the fibers. A derivation termed the G-factor(exactly analogous to the H-factor) can be applied for viscosity reduction, i. e., combinations of time and temperature that give the same G-factor can be expected to produce pulp with the same viscosity. Since the G-factor increases more rapidly with temperature than the H-factor, it follows that higher cooking temperatures have a proportionally greater effect on viscosity reduction. 1, record 17, English, - G%2Dfactor

The second aspect of performance sensitivity is usually distinguished by the name of Propagation Sensitivity, which is a measure of the ability of an explosive to support or reinforce a detonation that has already been created. Since the tendency for the detonation wave to fail or fade increases as the hole diameter is reduced, it has become customary to measure propagation sensitivity by the(minimum) critical diameter of a charge at least six diameters long that will support the detonation process once created. At a point below this value, a detonation wave cannot be consistently propagated, and a misfire... may occur; or otherwise the reaction may be incomplete, resulting in a poor blast effect and significant fume. 1, record 18, English, - propagation%20sensitivity

Sensibilité à l'onde explosive. C'est une caractéristique très importante car elle conditionne la transmission de la détonation dans une file de cartouches. La Commission de Normalisation a adopté comme critère le coefficient de transmission de détonation (CTD), (...) La sensibilité à l'onde explosive est fonction de la densité de l'explosif et de son état (pulvérulent, gélatineux, fondu). Quand la densité est trop élevée, surtout avec les explosifs nitratés, l'onde explosive provoquée par le détonateur peut ne pas agir, ou s'arrêter en cours de propagation : on a alors un raté, ou un culot d'explosif. 2, record 18, French, - sensibilit%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20l%27onde%20explosive
