Record 2 2013-09-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soccer (Europe: Football)
DEF

... a "square pass" to the area in front of the goal.

CONT

If a player passes the ball across the field to a teammate out of scoring range, it is not called a "cross", but is called a "square pass"). A crossed ball is usually a "pass to space"(as opposed to a "pass to feet"). Even at the pro level, the passer usually isn’t passing to a specific person; he's just concentrating on kicking the ball to the front of the goal(often while on the run) because doing so often creates a scoring opportunity.

CONT

The cross is ... one of the most important of all attacking techniques. It [is] the domain of the winger ... to "get it over" for the centre-forward to head home.

CONT

A. may be under a duty to inform B..., B. may be under a duty to record such information and pass it on... to C., and so on... Subject to exceptions designed to cover cases such as those which have just been mentioned, the unreliability of hearsay upon hearsay was thought... to justify the continued prohibition of its reception.(Cross, p. 481).

CONT

Multiple hearsay would include double hearsay and instances where the chain of repeated statements is longer still, as where the witness reports that A told him that B said that C had stated a given fact. (McCormick, p. 585)

CONT

Shoulder-in. The horse is slightly bent around the inside leg of the rider. The outside shoulder is placed in front of the inside hind quarter. The inside legs pass and cross in front of the outside legs. The horse looks away from the direction in which it is moving. The horse should not be at an angle of more than 30° to the direction in which it is moving.

DEF

A horizontal, fire-tube boiler in which the flue gases are passed back and forth through the boiler shell 2 or more times by means of a tube arrangement or baffles. Each change in direction is called a pass. In order to maintain the flue gas velocity, each succeeding pass is reduced in total cross section to compensate for the reduced flue gas volume as the gases cool.

Record 10 1990-06-18

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

Linear proton accelerators. The design principle applied in linear accelerators for protons was originated by Luis Alvarez at Berkeley in 1946. It is based on the formation of standing electromagnetic waves in a long cylindrical metal tank, or cavity, as it is sometimes called. In the design that has been adopted, the electric field is parallel to the axis of the tank. Most of these accelerators operate at frequencies of about 200 MHz. During the time required for a proton to traverse one of these tanks, the accelerating electric fields undergo many reversal of direction. In Alvarez’ design, the decelerating effect of the field during the intervals when it opposes the motion of the particles is prevented by installing on the axis of the tank a number of "drift tubes".... The electric field is zero inside the drift tubes, and if their lengths are properly chosen, the protons cross the gap between adjacent drift tubes when the direction of the field produces acceleration and are shielded by the drift tubes when the field in the tank would decelerate them. The length of the drift tubes are proportional to the speeds of the particles that pass through them.

(...) ce n'est qu'avec le développement des générateurs de puissance radiofréquence (rf) que Luis W. Alvarez a été en mesure de proposer (...) la structure qui est encore utilisée aujourd'hui dans les versions modernes de l'accélérateur linéaire à protons. Une cavité résonnante cylindrique est excitée à une fréquence d'environ 200 MHz (...) Il s'agit d'une onde électromagnétique caractérisée par un champ magnétique perpendiculaire à la direction de propagation et un champ électrique possédant une composition parallèle à la direction de propagation. Pour que les protons ne soient soumis au champ électrique que pendant une phase accélératrice, des tubes de glissement, formant cage de Faraday pour les particules les traversant, sont disposés suivant l'axe de la cavité. (...) La longueur des tubes croît à mesure que la vitesse des protons augmente.
