A process for reducing a magnetized material to a neutral state, that is, to a state when both the magnetic induction B and the magnetic field strength H are equal to zero.(...) The standard demagnetization process involves applying a magnetizing force above a critical value for the material used, and successively reversing H in direction as the value of H is steadily reduced to a value less than those to be used in subsequent experiments. If the final value of H is essentially zero, the specimen is demagnetized. 4, record 1, English, - demagnetization

La culture en bandes est la pratique qui consiste à faire alterner des bandes de cultures avec des bandes en jachère; elle réduit l'érosion éolienne en diminuant la vitesse du vent au sol et la distance que parcourt le vent sur les terres exposées en jachère. Lorsqu'il y a un problème d'érosion du sol, les avantages de la culture en bandes en compensent largement les inconvénients. Les avantages de la culture en bandes consistent en une diminution de l'érosion du sol et une augmentation de l'humidité du sol grâce au piégeage de la neige. 1, record 2, French, - technique%20de%20culture%20en%20bandes

El cultivo en franjas de protección se aplica en laderas empinadas donde el contorno es complicado. Las franjas de protección (por ejemplo, arbustos, hierbas o legumbres) crecen entre las bandas de contorno de forma alternativa y pueden ser permanentes (a menudo con vegetación autóctona) o temporales. No son necesariamente de la misma anchura y longitud, depende de las características del relieve. Su finalidad es exactamente la que indica su nombre: protegen el suelo y los cultivos comerciales sirviendo de amortiguadores. Esta práctica resulta especialmente apropiada en terrenos propensos a la erosión, ya que la vegetación de amortiguación mantiene el suelo en su sitio. 1, record 2, Spanish, - t%C3%A9cnica%20de%20cultivo%20en%20franjas%20de%20protecci%C3%B3n

This is especially true of infrastructure assets such as valves, pipes, poles, lights, cameras, etc. Generally, the process focuses on the later stages of an asset's life cycle, specifically maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement, and is critical in reducing risks. 2, record 3, English, - asset%20mapping

A Superconducting Tunnel Junction(STJ-or Josephson junction) consists of two thin films of a superconducting metal such as niobium, tantalum or hafnium separated by a thin insulating layer. When operated at temperatures well below the superconductor's critical temperature(typically below 1 K), the equilibrium state of the junction is easily perturbed by any photon striking it. By applying a small bias voltage across the junction and a suitable parallel magnetic field to suppress the Josephson current, an electrical charge proportional to the energy of the perturbing photon can be extracted from the device. 1, record 12, English, - superconducting%20tunnel%20junction

The base of the exosphere is called the critical level of escape because, in the absence of collisions, lighter, faster-moving atoms such as hydrogen and helium may attain velocities that allow them to escape the planet's gravitational field. Most molecules, however, have velocities considerably lower than the escape velocity, so their rate of escape to outer space is quite low. 6, record 13, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape

Critical level of escape ... is also the level at which the horizontal mean free path of atmospheric particle equals the scale height of the atmosphere. 4, record 13, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape

The height of the critical level, which can vary from 500 to 1000 km, is strongly dependent on the temperature of the upper thermosphere, and varies diurnally and with the level of solar activity. 7, record 13, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape

L'exosphère est la dernière couche d'atmosphère terrestre qui se situe au-dessus de la thermosphère. Cette couche se définie comme la région de l'atmosphère où les collisions entre particules sont rares, considérées comme négligeables. Les atomes s'y comportent librement, certains s'échappent même dans l'espace. La base de l'exosphère (l'exobase) se situe entre 350 et 800 km d'altitude suivant la température à la thermopause, qui est liée à l'activité solaire. L'hélium et l'hydrogène y sont les éléments prépondérants. Elle s'étend jusqu'à la limite extrême de l'atmosphère, soit 50 000 kilomètres.

The OH is typically located outside the spacecraft and performs the critical functions of generating and pointing the transmit laser beam and acquiring and tracking the received beacon and receive laser beams. Major elements of the OH are :-Coarse pointing assembly used for steering the terminal line of sight.-Optical subsystem comprising telescope, optical bench and beacon collimator.-Fine pointing assembly(FPA) : This is a mechanism used in conjunction with the tracking sensor to provide the tracking function for the terminal.-Point ahead assembly(PAA) : This is similar to the FPA and is used to introduce the required point ahead offset to the transmit beam.-Acquisition sensor(AS) : This is a wide field of view sensor used during acquisition for the identification and location of the partner terminal.-Tracking sensor(TS) : This is a fast sensor that operates in a closed loop with the FPA. 2, record 14, English, - point%2Dahead%20assembly
