Record 1 2021-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Deterioration of Metals
  • Restoration of Works of Art (Museums and Heritage)
CONT

All ancient bronzes, and more recent ones which have been buried for any length of time or exposed to great humidity, have acquired a "natural" patina. The patina may be a smooth thin skin revealing all of the minute detail of the original, or may appear as a thick warty crust entirely concealing the form of the original bronze. The color of a natural patina may range between black, red and yellow...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Altération des métaux
  • Restauration d'œuvres d'art (Muséologie et Patrimoine)
CONT

À l'extérieur, les œuvres de bronze se patinent sous l'effet conjugué des polluants atmosphériques gazeux et de l'humidité. La couche verdâtre que cela produit est principalement composée de sulfates parfois associés à des nitrates et à des chlorures. Une patine naturelle se forme [donc] progressivement et affecte la surface en superficie.

Record 2 2014-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Hydrolysis by lactase to glucose and galactose would make the glucose available for fermentation and the galactose would still contribute to the formation of crust color.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Boulangerie
CONT

[Le sel] freine légèrement mais régularise la fermentation. Il favorise la coloration de la croûte. Il intervient dans la conservation [...] Il améliore [...] fort sensiblement la saveur du pain.

Record 3 2010-06-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Caramelization involves the conversion of sugar into color substances by an initial hydrolysis into monosaccharides, followed by polymerization under the influence of heat. Part of the over-all caramelization phenomenon in the bread crust no doubt also includes the transformation of starch into brown-colored pyrodextrins.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Boulangerie
CONT

Au bout de 45 minutes environ la cuisson [du pain] est terminée: une croûte dorée et sapide s'est formée, due à la caramélisation d'une partie du glucose résultant des transformations de l'amidon et de la dextrine.

OBS

caraméliser: Réduire le sucre en caramel par l'action du feu.

Record 4 2007-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Botany
CONT

Mineral nutrition of serpentine species ... The species commonly found on serpentine soils in Eastern United States are adapted to the low calcium-high magnesium environment by selectively accumulating calcium.

OBS

Serpentine rock has a mottled, greenish-gray color with a waxy feel to it. These rocks form when the upper mantle of the earth's crust containing wet oceanic sediments is submerged under a land mass, which results in the chemical addition of water to heavy mantle rock.

PHR

Serpentine flora, grassland, plant, species, vegetation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Botanique
DEF

[Se dit d'un végétal, qui est] adapté à la vie sur des substrats serpentineux.

CONT

La flore y est également appauvrie et comprend des espèces endémiques locales serpentinicoles, comme le Minuartia marcescens, le Salix chlorolepis et le Solidago simplex ssp. simplex var. chlorolepis. La population observée à Terre-Neuve occupait les pentes d'une crête serpentineuse sèche orientées au sud.

PHR

Écotype, espèce, flore, lande, plante, végétation serpentinicole.

Record 5 2007-01-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
DEF

Soil derived from the serpentine mineral, and other ultramafic rocks [which is] characterized by unusual flora and often unforested or sparsely forested.

CONT

Some fungi tolerate easily the generally elevated metal contents of serpentine soils. Some of these fungal species are mycorrhizal.

OBS

Serpentine rock has a mottled, greenish-gray color with a waxy feel to it. These rocks form when the upper mantle of the earth's crust containing wet oceanic sediments is submerged under a land mass, which results in the chemical addition of water to heavy mantle rock.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
CONT

Les sols de serpentine causent des modifications tant dans l'apparence que dans le fonctionnement des plantes. Ces modifications, conjuguées à l'isolement caractéristique des habitats de serpentine, favorisent la formation de nouvelles espèces.

CONT

Les plantes qui poussent sur des sols de serpentine ont à faire face à de faibles concentrations des principaux éléments minéraux et souvent à la toxicité de métaux lourds. De plus, les sols de serpentine ont généralement une faible capacité à retenir l'eau; les plantes qui poussent dessus sont donc habituellement adaptées au stress hydrique.

PHR

Sol composé de serpentine; sol riche, chargé en serpentine; sol formé sur serpentine.
