Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A deep, narrow, and swift current, it continues from the Philippines Current in a northeastward direction from Taiwan along the continental rise of the East China Sea, through Tokara Strait, and close to the eastern coast of Japan. At 35°N it separates from the coast and flows eastward into the Pacific as a free jet known as the Kuroshio Extension. It forms a marked temperature and salinity front with the Oyashio, which meets the Kuroshio Extension from the north and then flows parallel to it. Like all other western boundary currents, the Kuroshio develops instabilities and sheds eddies. Its unique characteristic is that south of Honshu it switches between three quasi-stable paths across the Izu Ridge at irregular intervals of 18 months to several years. Volume transport in the Kuroshio increases downstream and reaches 57 Sv... in the Kuroshio Extension, increasing seasonally by 15% during summer. The current's path in the extension is characterized by large meridional excursions in the so-called First and Second Crest at 145° and 152°E. On approaching the Shatsky Rise at 157°E, the Kuroshio Extension divides into several paths that tend to recombine before the Emperor Seamounts near 170°E cause the current to split again and disintegrate. The flow then continues as the North Pacific Current. 4, record 3, English, - Kuroshio

In order to maintain the required obstacle free airspace in the vicinity of a certified airport, regulations known as airport zoning regulations(AZR) may be enacted by Transport Canada. These AZR are enacted not only to protect the present operations of an airport, but also to help ensure that potential and future development surrounding the airport remains compatible with the safe operation of aircraft and of the airport itself. Lands within the airport boundary are under the control of the airport operator and do not require AZR. Since Transport Canada certification requirements normally extend beyond the airport boundary, AZR are enacted on the surrounding off-airport lands. For AZR to be enacted an airport certificate must be in force at an airport or the land in question must be designated as an airport site.... AZR restrict the heights of buildings, structures and objects(including natural growth) on regulated lands, and protect aircraft from potential hazards, such as bird strikes and electronic signal interference. 1, record 7, English, - airport%20zoning%20regulations

Pour maintenir un espace aérien dégagé d'obstacles à proximité d'un aéroport certifié, Transports Canada peut promulguer des règlements connus sous le nom de règlement de zonage aéroportuaire (RZA). Ces RZA sont pris non seulement dans le but de protéger les activités en cours à l'aéroport, mais aussi pour aider à garantir que l'aménagement potentiel et futur de l'aéroport demeure compatible avec l'exploitation sûre des aéronefs et de l'aéroport. Les terrains situés dans les limites de l'aéroport sont sous le contrôle de l'exploitant de l'aéroport et n'ont pas à être régis par des RZA. Comme les exigences de Transports Canada en matière de certification s'appliquent habituellement aussi aux terrains situés en dehors de l'aéroport, les RZA sont promulgués à l'égard des terrains à la périphérie de ce dernier. Pour qu'un RZA soit promulgué, le certificat de l'aéroport doit être en vigueur ou les terrains visés doivent être désignés comme zone aéroportuaire. [...] Les RZA renferment des restrictions sur la hauteur des bâtiments, des ouvrages et des objets (y compris la végétation) situés sur les terrains réglementés, et protègent les aéronefs contre des dangers potentiels, comme de péril aviaire et l'interférence de signaux électroniques. 1, record 7, French, - r%C3%A8glement%20de%20zonage%20a%C3%A9roportuaire

The ratio of lateral entrainment velocity to plume-rise velocity of a smoke plume. 2, record 11, English, - entrainment%20coefficient
Record number: 11, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Smoke plumes that rise through the environment due to buoyancy or momentum become diluted with environmental air, where the rate of dilution is proportional to the rise rate of the plume. The entrainment coefficient is this constant of proportionality. This concept of lateral entrainment does not work well for convective thermals in the atmospheric boundary layer. One reason is that boundary layer thermals are part of a large overturning circulation involving the whole boundary layer during statically unstable conditions of free convection, rather than being thin currents of rising smokestack air. 2, record 11, English, - entrainment%20coefficient

Magnetic Properties of Nanocrystalline Metals. Nanocrystalline materials represent one form of grain boundary engineering which increases the intercrystalline volume fraction of a material. It has been shown that this can affect mechanical, chemical, magnetic, kinetic and electrical properties. Nanomaterials produced by electrodeposition are porosity free and therefore yield their true intrinsic properties. However when assessing the intrinsic properties of nanocrystalline electrodeposits, microstructural and texture differences must be taken into consideration.(Department of Materials and Metallurgical, Engineering, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada),(Department of Metallurgical Engineering, McGill University, Montreal, Que, Canada)(<a href="http ://iptsg. epfl. ch/aps/BAPSMAR96/abs/S3650003. html" title="http ://iptsg. epfl. ch/aps/BAPSMAR96/abs/S3650003. html">http ://iptsg. epfl. ch/aps/BAPSMAR96/abs/S3650003. html</a>) 1, record 16, English, - nanocrystalline%20metal
