Subject field(s)
  • Welding - Various Processes
DEF

A welding process producing coalescence of metals with molten slag which melts the filler metal and the surfaces of the work to be welded. [Definition standardized by the AWS.]

OBS

The molten weld pool is shielded by this slag which moves along the full cross section of the joint as welding progresses. The process is initiated by an arc which heats the slag. The arc is then extinguished and the conductive slag is maintained in a molten condition by its resistance to electric current passing between the electrode and the work.

Subject field(s)
  • Track and Field
CONT

Most 1500 m races these days are run at a fast even pace, so basic speed is important as is strength and stamina to maintain the pace throughout the race.

CONT

Reliance on strength can be a curse as well as a blessing. I’ve noticed that many excellent cross country runners who rely on strength disappear during the track season, either because they lack the basic speed, or because that speed hasn’t been developed properly. In cross-country, it's easy for a runner to use mileage-built strength to be successful without working on speed. To put it simply, mileage can work in cross country, but speed is the most critical component in track racing.

French

La piste peut être utile pour travailler sa vitesse de base, la course au train, de préférence hors bitume, permet de régler sa vitesse et de travailler un effort soutenu sur une grande distance.

OBS

The proposed primary goal of CHRIMCY are to initiate, support and disseminate excellence in peer-reviewed research encompassing the critical stages of life, including preconception, pregnancy, fetal and newborn development, and growth and development throughout childhood and adolescence. These primary goals define the nature of research that would be supported by the proposed institute, and clearly distinguish this institute from others that may form within the CIHR. Research would be conducted in the fields of basic biomedical science, clinical and applied health, health services and health care systems, and population health, with a particular focus on the determinants of health. The proposed main objectives of CHRIMCY is to reinforce individual investigator initiatives by aiding in the formation of networks of research teams that would cross disciplines, institutions, regions and the country. This includes providing mechanisms for researchers to work across the institutes of the CIHR. CHRIMCY would have the unique mandate and framework to identify reserach themes and to harness reserach expertise cross the country, and to focus on priority issues affecting the health of mothers, children and youth.

Diffusion filters produce "soft" images and tend to flare bright areas of a scene into dark areas(...) There are several different types of diffusion filters on the market.(...) some contain wavy criss cross patterns, and some have concentric circles lightly etched into them. They all work in basically the same way, though. The plain areas of the diffusion filter allow the light to go straight through, forming a normal sharp image on the film. The areas of the diffusion filter that have been embossed or etched or waved or whatever bend the light that strikes them, forming one or more unsharp images that overlap the sharp one.
