... the virtual centre of gravity is raised by free surface effect [that] further compounds the effects of loss of positive stability by lifting weights with a topped-up boom which raised the virtual centre of gravity even more, and reduced the vessel' s ability to right herself.  2, record 1, English, - virtual%20centre%20of%20gravity

[...] le centre de gravité virtuel est relevé en raison d'un effet de carène liquide [qui] s'ajoute aux effets découlant de la perte de stabilité positive attribuable à la levée de charges à l'aide d'un mât apiqué qui relève davantage le centre de gravité virtuel, et de la diminution de la capacité du bâtiment à se redresser.  2, record 1, French, - centre%20de%20gravit%C3%A9%20virtuel

The free surface effect is a mechanism which can cause a watercraft to become unstable and capsize. It refers to the tendency of liquids... to move in response to changes in the attitude of a craft's cargo holds, decks, or liquid tanks in reaction to operator-induced motions... When referring to the free surface effect, the condition of a tank that is not full is described as a "slack tank"...  3, record 2, English, - slack%20tank

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

There are two distinct ways in which a polymer support might affect the microenvironment surrounding an immobilized enzyme. The first may be considered to be a partitioning effect. By virtue of its own physical chemistry, the polymer may attract(or repel) substrate, product, inhibitor, or other molecules to its surface thus concentrating(or depleting) them in the immediate vicinity of the enzyme. The second way in which the polymer may affect the enzyme's microenvironment may be by presenting itself as a barrier to the free diffusion of molecules both to and from the enzyme.  3, record 3, English, - microenvironment

Les conditions de microenvironnement imposées permettent de modifier considérablement la catalyse notamment du point de vue de la spécificité : seules les applications analytiques nécessitent une spécificité absolue. Pour les applications de bioconversions, il est intéressant de pouvoir exploiter pour une large gamme de substrats, une spécificité restreinte (régio- ou stéréospécificité) ex : isomération de glucose en fructose par la xylose isomérase. [...] Cette spécificité peut elle-même dépendre du microenvironnement : ainsi la β galactosidase d'E. Coli ne peut hydrolyser à l'état soluble les galactocérébrosides très hydrophobes. Elle acquiert cette capacité de reconnaissance par inclusion dans des liposomes.  3, record 3, French, - microenvironnement

Frontier zones may serve several purposes. The smallest, of a few metres only, will be to mark the frontier, and will involve the destruction of all natural or artificial protrusions from the surface of the earth. Others may be of several kilometres width, and provide for a customs free zone, or, for example, that doctors and midwives may be permitted to practise their profession in the territory adjoining that of their own practice. Such zones are formed in the interests of the local populations on each side of the frontier, in an effort to palliate the disruptive effect of the political frontier.  1, record 4, English, - frontier%20zone

Consider the effect of rotating a right-circular cylinder(...) about its axis with a peripheral velocity(...) in a fluid otherwise at rest. The fluid in contact with the surface of the cylinder rotates with the cylinder. Fluid at greater radius is also set in motion in concentric circles with velocity diminishing as the radius increase. This type of fluid motion, in which the velocity varies inversely as the radius, is referred to as a free vortex.  1, record 6, English, - free%20vortex

Any body of liquid in a ship which has an unconfined upper surface, free to remain parallel to the horizontal as the ship rolls and pitches, is said to have a free surface. Free surface always has a deleterious effect on transverse stability, which varies as the cube of the breadth of the free surface, parallel to the ship's beam.  1, record 7, English, - free%20surface

Nous savons qu'au point de vue stabilité transversale, un lest liquide à surface libre détermine une diminution de stabilité, par rapport au même lest considéré comme fixe, (...) Il suffit évidemment de supprimer la surface libre de ce liquide pour pouvoir le considérer comme un poids fixe.  1, record 7, French, - surface%20libre
