English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
DEF

A measure of the space between individual particles in the compost pile that are filled with air.

CONT

FAS is fundamental to active composting and curing, as there must be enough void space in the compost pile for oxygen. It is also critical that the spaces between the particles are interconnected so that air can move through the compost pile passively, or be forced through with aeration fans.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
DEF

Mesure de l'espace entre les particules individuelles dans la pile de compost qui sont remplies d'air.

CONT

L'espace lacunaire est essentiel au compostage actif et à la maturation, car il doit y avoir un espace vide suffisant dans la pile de compost pour l'oxygène. Il est également essentiel que les espaces entre les particules soient interconnectés afin que l'air puisse circuler de façon passive à travers la pile de compost, ou qu'il soit soufflé à travers la pile par les ventilateurs.

  • Names of Special Years, Weeks, Days
  • Public Administration (General)
OBS

On June 15, Kingstonians will gather together with family and friends in their city to celebrate First Capital Day. On that day in Kingston in 1841, Governor General Lord Sydenham opened the first Parliament of the United Provinces of Canada. Evantually, Kingston's insufficient number of office buildings forced Parliament to move to Montreal, where it opened on November 28, 1844. Over 160 years later, both the provincial and the federal governments have officially recognized Kingston as the First Capital of Canada. Thanks to the hard work of Mr. Ian Milne and Dr. Margaret Angus, the founders of First Capital Day, the occasion of Kingston's choice as Canada's first capital has been marked with much celebration for the past five years.

Le 15 juin, les habitants de Kingston se réuniront, en famille et entre amis, pour célébrer la Journée de la première capitale. Le 15 juin 1841, le gouverneur général, lord Sydenham, inaugurait, à Kingston, la première législature du nouveau parlement des provinces unies du Canada. Plus tard, l'insuffisance d'immeubles de bureaux forçait le Parlement à s'installer à Montréal, où la législature ouvrait le 28 novembre 1844. Plus de 160 ans plus tard, les gouvernements fédéral et provincial ont désigné Kingston comme première capitale du Canada. Grâce au travail acharné de M. Ian Milne et de Mme Margaret Angus, les instigateurs de la Journée de la première capitale, depuis cinq ans, on célèbre avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme le choix de Kingston comme première capitale du Canada.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

A gentle wind blowing up a valley or mountain slope in the absence of cyclonic or anticyclonic winds, caused by the warming of the mountainside and valley floor by the sun.

CONT

A valley breeze develops during the day as the sun heats the land surface and air at the valley bottom and sides... As the air heats it becomes less dense and buoyant and begins to flow gently up the valley sides. Vertical ascent of the air rising along the sides of the mountain is usually limited by the presence of a temperature inversion layer. When the ascending air currents encounter the inversion they are forced to move horizontally and then back down to the valley floor. This creates a self-contained circulation system. If conditions are right, the rising air can condense and form into cumuliform clouds.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
DEF

Vent anabatique soufflant le jour le long des pentes, des vallées vers les montagnes.

CONT

Brise de pente et brise de vallée. De jour, le réchauffement de l'air le long des pentes produit un flux ascendant vers les crêtes, d'où un courant général vers le haut de la vallée, c'est la brise d'aval. De nuit, au contraire, l'air se refroidit au contact du sol et a tendance à descendre le long des pentes vers le fond de la vallée où s'instaure un courant général vers le bas de la vallée, c'est la brise d'amont.

A paper defect characterized by unwanted folds or creases.

CONT

Gusseting occurs because the inner pages of a folded, closed head signature cannot move independently of the adjacent pages to compensate for progressively varying centres and radii of curvature of backbone fold from the outside pages to the centre pages of the signature. As a result, the paper in the centre of the signature is forced forward at the backbone, but being restrained at the head, it assumes corrugations or waves, and in extreme cases, these waves fold over and become hard wrinkles.

CONT

Reciprocating screw systems. In a reciprocating(in-line) screw, the material is fed from the hopper, plasticized in the screw, and forced past a one-way valve at the injection end of the screw. The material accumulates in front of the screw, forcing back the screw, its drive and motor, and the pistons of the two hydraulic injection cylinders.... When the screw reaches a certain position, it contacts a limit switch that stops the rotation. When the cycle is ready to inject, two hydraulic injection cylinders, one on each side of the carriage, move the screw assembly forward and use the screw as an injection ram.

  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

Many environmental variables have stability envelopes within which they commonly fluctuate, and if such variables are forced beyond the limits of the envelope, they may assume quite different or unknown trajectories in time. In these cases, variables which are predicted to move outside their normal stability limits might be considered as significant impacts, while small shifts within the envelopes might be considered insignificant. Use of this approach is limited to our knowledge of stability envelopes as supported by empirical evidence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
CONT

De nombreuses variables environnementales ont des limites "d'équilibre" de variabilité naturelles au-delà desquelles leur comportement en fonction du temps risque d'être très différent ou imprévisible. Dans ces cas, les variables que l'on prévoit sortir des limites de leur comportement normal peuvent être considérées comme des incidences importantes, alors que des petites modifications dans le cadre des limites peuvent être tenues pour négligeables. Cette approche n'est applicable que dans la mesure où nos connaissances des limites d'équilibre sont basées sur des preuves empiriques.
