Kasugamycin... Use Pattern and Formulations : Kasugamycin is not registered in the U. S. [September 2005], however, tolerances were established to cover residues on imported tomatoes and peppers from Mexico where the registrant is seeking to register Kasumin® 2L, a liquid formulation comprised of 2% kasugamycin(by weight) as the active ingredient(ai), for use on rice, potato, pepper, and tomato in Mexico. The product is formulated from kasugamycin hydrochloride hydrate(2. 3%) and contains 2% kasugamycin(0. 1667 lb ai/gal) as the free base. Kasugamycin is also formulated as a co-active ingredient(at 5%) along with copper oxychloride(at 45%, expressed as copper) in a wettable powder(WP), designated Kasumin Cobre®. Additionally, the Kasumin® formulation is a WP containing 8% kasugamycin. The principal target organisms are bacteria rot(Erwinia atroseptica) and leaf mold(Cladosporium fulvum) on tomato, and bacteria spot(Xanthomonas campestris, pv vesicatoria) on both tomato and pepper.

OBS

This is the crystalline HCl hydrate form (derivative) of the antibiotic pesticide (bactericide and fungicide) kasugamycin, and the form in which kasugamycin is usually sold. Note that the Chemical Abstracts Service [CAS] registry number for kasugamycin is 6980-18-3, whereas that of kasugamycin hydrochloride hydrate is 19408-46-9. The molecular structure of this chemical derivative is only slightly different from that of the parent molecule kasugamycin.

DEF

A reed in a musical instrument that vibrates against the edges of an air opening ... to which it is attached.

CONT

Reeds are usually divided into two kinds, the beating, and the free reed.... Both forms possess the elastic tongue; but the beating reed differs from the free reed in that the tongue is made to cover the orifice through which the air passes and slightly to overlap its edges; whereas in the latter it passes freely, as the name implies, though with but little room to spare, past the edges of the slit in which it is adapted.... The beating reed is farther subdivided into single and double varieties, the former represented by the clarinet, and by the usual organ reeds; the latter appearing in the oboe and bassoon.

Subject field(s)
  • Soccer (Europe: Football)
DEF

Central defensive player who, liberated from marking, can relaunch his team’s attack or support another defender in difficulty.

CONT

In some countries, the sweeper(free back or libero) is required to provide cover across the whole back line behind any defender.

CONT

His position was a sweeper, one of the last resort defenders. But he was never satisfied in defending the team, and often participated in the attack whenever the chance arrived. That is why he was often called an attacking sweeper, libero, or free back. Even now, he is considered to be a model of the attacking sweeper. Beckenbauer is a perfect libero.

OBS

The "libero" or "freeback" and the "sweeper" are mainly the same player whose main role is to provide cover for the defenders in front of him.

Défenseur central qui, libéré du marquage individuel, peut relancer l'attaque ou appuyer un défenseur latéral en difficulté.

OBS

balayeur; couvreur; bétonneur; verrouilleur : À quelques distinctions près, ces termes sont synonymes. On dit «balayeur» d'un défenseur qui ne laisse rien passer. Le «couvreur» conjugue son action avec l'autre arrière central, le «stoppeur»; le stoppeur marque l'avant de pointe adverse et le couvreur se place en couverture de son arrière engagé dans la reconquête du ballon. Dans les formations dites «verrou» et «béton», les joueurs placés en retrait de la défense, en couverture des arrières, sont le «verrouilleur» et le «bétonneur»; on dit «verrouilleur» de celui qui relance le jeu et «bétonneur» de celui qui reste en permanence en retrait de la défense.

Subject field(s)
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

A pipeline operated at varying temperatures due to occasional shut down of theproduction will expand at positive temperature changes. If the pipeline is not free toexpand but restrained by friction, the pipe will be subjected to an axial compressive load. If the force exerted by the pipe on the soil cover exceeds the vertical restraint created by the pipe's submerged weight, its bending stiffness and the soil cover, the pipe will tend to move in the vertical plane, and considerable displacements may occur.... This model is a consistent semi-analytical linearized procedure and may as such only be considered sufficiently accurate when the upheaval displacement is relatively small.

Clear sky tonight will result in a solid freeze. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

In Great Britain, a "day of clear sky" is defined as one on which the average cloudiness at hours of observation is less than two oktas.

OBS

In the National Sky Cover Terminology(Environment Canada), the term "clear sky" is for use when the amount of cloud is expected to be less than 2 tenths, thus implying a virtually "cloud free" sky condition(which is closer to the dictionary meaning and to the public' s meaning of no cloud). Day or night-time use. [Manuel des normes et méthodes des services météorologiques au public(édition de janvier 1988])

Solar distillation. The solar distillation process makes use of the fact that water will evaporate from a free surface at a temperature below its boiling point. A simple solar still [acts as a greenhouse]. The sun's rays pass through a sloping glass cover...

  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
CONT

Glide avalanches ... occur mostly in very steep rock slabs during very warm weather. Glide avalanches are relatively difficult for a person to trigger and they tend to release more or less randomly in time. Paradoxically, they tend to release during the coldest part of the day, or during a freeze following a protracted period of melting ...

CONT

Glide avalanches are very difficult to predict. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

"Glide avalanches" occur when the entire snowpack(from ground to surface) slides slowly downslope. A large crack(called a "glide crack") is formed at the top of the slope, and below this crack is where the snow is slipping down the hill. The rate of glide is variable and based on many factors(not well understood). The two biggest influences are the ground cover(smooth grass and rock slab cause glide) as well as the amount of free water at the base of the snowpack which can lubricate the sliding surface. Often these glide slabs will slip downhill for months, or most of the winter. They are very unpredictable and when they decide to release then we generally get a very large avalanche because the entire snowpack depth to the ground slides. When the glide slab finally releases-that is a "glide avalanche. "[Reference : Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada. ]

OBS

Do not confuse "glide avalanche" with "full-depth avalanche". Glide is a slow process that usually occurs over several days, weeks or even months, while a "full-depth avalanche" is a sudden release of a slab avalanche that breaks to the ground.

OBS

glide avalanche; glide release; glide slab avalanche: terms officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

The surface on which an avalanche slides.

CONT

Slab avalanches are most often the greatest threat to backcountry travelers. There are two main components in the snowpack that need to be present for these to occur: a cohesive slab layer and a sliding layer underneath the slab (called the bed surface) which is characterized by poor layer bonding and low shear strength ...

CONT

Slab avalanches fall when a well-defined snow later breaks free and slides away. The sliding surface is usually the interface between distinguishable layers of snow which has been formed by variations in weather or snow deposition. In some cases the sliding surface may be the ground(entire snow cover avalanches).

CONT

The bed surface can be the ground (or older snow).

CONT
