Record 1 2010-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

Two-armed molecules could become the highly diverse subjects of future directed evolution experiments. The functional arm, which consists of amino acids or other subunits, can be tested for its ability to perform a task, such as binding to a target. The genetic arm, which is made of DNA or RNA, contains a coded description of the functional arm's composition. This description can be replicated and analyzed.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Biología molecular
CONT

De acuerdo con Brenner y Lerner, se preparan moléculas bifuncionales con dos "brazos", unidos por un punto común. Un brazo es una molécula funcional; se valora en atención a su capacidad para enlazarse en una diana; el brazo puede estar formado por aminoácidos, azúcares u otros compuestos orgánicos. El brazo segundo, una macromolécula genética (ADN, por lo común), cifra la descripción del brazo funcional.

Record 2 2008-07-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems
CONT

Direct measures of functional properties(e. g., nutrient export...) may thus be more sensitive(better? appropriate?) measures of ecosystem functional integrity..., but they, in turn, may be insensitive measures of the integrity of species composition.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes
CONT

Ceci montre comment ces communautés aménagent leurs ressources naturelles en étant conscientes des conséquences négatives qu'un usage excessif pourrait engendrer sur la productivité et l'intégrité fonctionnelle de l'écosystème.

Record 4 2005-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems
DEF

The diversity of forest structure, both vertical and horizontal, that provides for a variety of forest habitats for plants and animals.

CONT

Though the emphasis is often placed on composition diversity(species richness, for example), structural and functional diversity are nonetheless important for maintaining composition diversity and essential for preserving ecosystem integrity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes
DEF

Variété de la structure d'une forêt, tant sur le plan vertical qu'horizontal, qui fournit des habitats forestiers diversifiés pour les espèces végétales et animales.

CONT

Lorsqu'on discute de biodiversité, il ne faut pas oublier que les diversités structurales et fonctionnelles sont importantes pour le maintien de la diversité de composition, et essentielles pour le maintien de l'intégrité des écosystèmes.

Record 5 2003-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Architectural Styles
  • Urban Integration
  • Regulations (Urban Studies)
CONT

The projects gathered in this exhibition are only samples of interesting and structuring projects of this beginning of century and millennium. Through their attractiveness, functionality and integration into the site, they contribute to enhancing the image of the city with its inhabitants and visitors.

CONT

Without being contextualist in relation to other historical styles, inter-bellum modern architecture in Romania determined in a given built context the establishment of new landmarks, dominated by the values of the modernist current, which enhanced the aesthetic, composition and functional value of the site, thus representing a new form of integration into the environment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Styles en architecture
  • Intégration urbaine
  • Réglementation (Urbanisme)
DEF

Adaptation harmonieuse des constructions au style architectural local et à leur environnement; [...]

CONT

Ces différentes lignes ont été reprises dans les volumes des Bâtiments; la pente des toits, les Bardages, les nervures verticales de ceux-ci, l'inclinaison des façades sont autant de tentatives d'intégration du site.

OBS

[...] après les nombreuses erreurs de l'après-guerre, ce souci d'intégration prévaut aujourd'hui dans la plupart des textes réglementaires et POS (plan d'occupation des sols) locaux.

Subject field(s)
  • Planting Techniques (Farming)
  • Nurseries (Farming)
  • Silviculture
CONT

Many materials can be used as a growing medium, such as sand, compost, peat, sphagnum moss, vermiculite, topsoil, and some synthetic materials, but for functional and economic reasons, peat-vermiculite mixtures predominate.... For CTS operations, peat vermiculite mixes are... lightweight..., uniform in composition, relatively inexpensive,... relatively free of insects and diseases.

CONT

Les mélanges les plus utilisés sont formés de tourbe et de vermiculite dans des proportions variables. Ces mélanges constituent des milieux légers, de composition uniforme, facilement disponibles et à un coût raisonnable. Ces milieux sont généralement acides, exempts d'insectes et de maladies. Le mélange tourbe-vermiculite le plus utilisé est composé d'une partie de tourbe et d'une partie de vermiculite (...)
