CROSS RANGE [18 records]

Record 1 2022-06-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metal Extrusion
  • Steel
CONT

[A billet is a] semi-finished steel product with a square cross section up to 155 mm x 155 mm. This product is either rolled or continuously cast and is then transformed by rolling to obtain finished products like wire rod, merchant bars and other sections. The range of semi-finished products above 155 mm x 155 mm are called blooms.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Extrusion (Métallurgie)
  • Acier
CONT

Le métal en fusion est affiné pour enlever les impuretés et développer la composition désirée. L'acier liquide est coulé en blooms, en brames ou en billettes, puis ces produits semi-finis sont façonnés dans les formes désirées par laminage ou par forgeage.

Subject field(s)
  • Ecology (General)
CONT

Rescue effect is the process by which a wildlife species may move through its range in a way that it mitigates a Canadian extirpation or population decline. For wildlife species whose distributions cross an international boundary of Canada or are otherwise shared with another country give the likelihood that dispersal from the foreign population will repopulate the Canadian population should the latter disappear or experience a decline.

OBS

rescue effect: term used by Environment Canada.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écologie (Généralités)
CONT

Une immigration de source externe est un processus par lequel une espèce sauvage peut se déplacer dans son aire de répartition, de telle sorte que la diminution d'une population ou la possibilité que l'espèce disparaisse au Canada soient atténuées. Dans le cas des espèces sauvages dont l'aire de répartition d'une espèce s'étend de part et d'autre d'une frontière internationale du Canada ou d'une frontière que le Canada partage avec un autre pays, donnez la probabilité que la dispersion de la population étrangère repeuple la population canadienne si celle-ci venait à disparaître ou à connaître un déclin.

Record 4 2014-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

Structurally, the signaling molecules used by plants and animals range in complexity from simple gases to proteins. Some of these molecules carry signals over long distances, whereas others act locally to convey information between neighboring cells. In addition, signaling molecules differ in their mode of action on their target cells. Some signaling molecules are able to cross the plasma membrane and bind to intracellular receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus, whereas most bind to receptors expressed on the target cell surface.

Key term(s)
  • signalling molecule
  • cell-signalling molecule

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

De nombreux types cellulaires sécrètent des molécules de signalisation, de nature biochimique variée, qui agissent à plus ou moins longue distance. [...] Les molécules de signalisation peuvent être hydrophobes, comme les stéroïdes traversant les membranes pour activer leur récepteur intracytoplasmique, ou hydrophiles comme les neurotransmetteurs et la plupart des hormones, activant alors des récepteurs à la surface membranaire.

Record 5 2013-11-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

The crossing of two species with the production of fertile offspring, which then usually cross back to one of the parents. This produces a diffusion(introgression) of genes from one species to the other, giving a range of phenotypes of both parental types and a series of hybrids between them.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Production accidentelle, entre des populations formant deux communautés de reproduction distinctes, d'hybrides susceptibles de laisser une descendance par croisement en retour à des individus appartenant à l'une ou l'autre des deux communautés.

Record 6 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.

  • Soccer (Europe : football)

Cross body adduction. This is a stretching exercise that will help improve range of motion in your shoulder and scapula muscles. Cross your affected arm across your chest, grabbing your elbow with your opposite hand. Gently pull your elbow toward your body until you feel a mild stretch across the back of your affected shoulder. Hold the stretch for 15 seconds. Perform the stretch with your arm at neck level, below neck level and above neck level, repeating each stretch three times.

... a Ni-base superalloy IN 713C was continuously cast in the form of rods with a circular cross section under a protective argon atmosphere using a vertical continuous caster. The structure of the rods cast at different casting parameters was investigated using different microstructoral characterisation techniques. It was found that superalloy IN 713C could be continuously cast over a wide range of casting parameters. The continuously cast rods possessed a clean surface and excellent internal integrity without nonmetallic inclusions and porosity.
