Subject field(s)
  • History
CONT

Contact Period in the Champlain Valley(1609-1664 AD)... 1609 the Mahican living in the Hudson Valley came in contact with Dutch explorer Henry Hudson. Shortly thereafter, the Dutch began to trade metal tools to the Mahican in exchange for furs. The Mahican also developed alliances with the French. When the English captured New Amsterdam in 1664, a region which included much of the Mahican's traditional territory, the Mahican were forced to develop alliances with the British. By 1700 the Mahican population had been decreased from an estimated 4, 000 to about 500 through European diseases, famine, wars, and political pressures. Many of the Mahican merged with other groups, including the Dutch, the Western Abenaki, the French, and the Mohawk Iroquois. By 1720 the Mahican no longer existed as an organized native tribe in the Champlain and Hudson Valleys. The influx of Europeans to the Northeast caused great upheaval among the region's Native American populations. Disease, confusing political and economic relations, and continuous warfare split native communities apart and forced them to join outlying groups....

Record 3 2003-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
DEF

Convection caused by mechanical forces, such as those arising from air motion over a rough or sloping surface.

CONT

Convection... is a principal means of energy transfer. Distinction is made between free convection(gravitational or buoyant convection), motion caused only by density differences within the fluid; and forced convection, motion induced by mechanical forces such as deflection by a large-scale surface irregularity, turbulent flow caused by friction at the boundary of a fluid, or motion caused by any applied pressure gradient. Free and forced convection are not necessarily exclusive processes. On a windy day with overcast sky, the heat exchange between ground and air is an example of forced convection. On a sunny day with a little wind where the ground temperature rises, both kinds of convection take place.

French

Domaine(s)

Free convection is the rising of heated air and the sinking of cooler air without the need of external forces.

Record 6 1989-02-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Stock Exchange
CONT

The large losses incurred on outstanding long positions in futures contracts coupled with the immediate need to meet(variation) margins because of the daily cash settlement rule(marking-to-market), may have exacerbated forced selling in the stock exchange.

OBS

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bourse
OBS

Les pertes massives enregistrées sur les encours des positions longues sur les contrats à terme d'instruments financiers, conjuguées avec la nécessité immédiate de faire face aux variations des marges en raison de l'obligation du règlement quotidien au comptant par référence aux prix du marché ("marking-to market"), peuvent avoir accentué les ventes forcées sur le marché boursier.

Record 7 1980-03-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Power Stations
DEF

The process of replacing D20 in ion exchange resins with H20 prior to the disposal of the resins. H20 is forced slowly down through the resin bed so that all the D20 is displaced and the D plus and OD minus ions on the active sites of the resin are replaced by H plus and OH minus ions.

OBS

Applies to the CANDU heavy water nuclear reactors.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Centrales nucléaires
DEF

Procédé qui consiste à remplacer le D20 contenu dans les résines échangeuses d'ions par de l'H20 (avant l'évacuation des résines). Le H20 refoule l'eau lourde en remontant lentement à travers le lit de résines de façon à ce que tout le D20 soit déplacé et que les ions D plus et OD moins des noyaux de la résine soient remplacés par des ions H plus et OH moins.
