The double-flash steam plant is an improvement on the single-flash design that can produce 15-20% more power output for the same geothermal fluid conditions. The plant is more complex, more costly, and requires more maintenance, but the extra power output often justifies the installation of such plants.... Triple-flash plants add another stage of flashing, thereby further raising the efficiency of exergy utilization but at the expense of increased complexity, more equipment, and higher capital costs.... many aspects of double-and triple-flash plants are similar to a single-flash plant... The fundamental new feature is one or two additional flash processes imposed on the separated liquid leaving the primary separator in order to generate additional steam, albeit at lower pressures than the primary steam. 3, record 1, English, - triple%2Dflash%20steam%20power%20plant

At the heart of machine translation and generative AI translation lies a fundamental distinction in their approach to translating text. MT relies on a rule-based approach, utilizing a vast database of parallel translation pairs to identify patterns and translate text accordingly.... In contrast, GenAI translation harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to generate human-quality translations. GenAI models are trained on massive amounts of text data, allowing them to learn the intricacies of language and generate translations that capture the subtleties of meaning, cultural nuances, and stylistic nuances. 4, record 3, English, - GenAI%20translation

Nanobiology combines the ideas and theories of nanoscience and the materials and tools of nanotechnology with those of biology at the nanoscale(10[ to the minus 9 power] meters) level. The ability to observe, analyze, understand, and eventually manipulate biological systems at the sub-cellular and even molecular scales holds great promise for various branches of biology(for example, biochemistry, molecular, sub-cellular and structural biologies) and opens the way for important scientific contributions ranging from the development of new bio-imaging devices and sensors to the synthesis and characterization of novel bionanomaterials to advances in the theory, modeling and simulation of diverse nanoscale biological and fundamental life processes. 6, record 7, English, - nanobiology

The Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-3 is an Exploration Systems’ transition flight experiment in the Human System Research and Technology area. BCAT-3 provides a unique opportunity to explore fundamental physics and simultaneously develop important future technology, including computers operating on light, complex biomolecular pharmaceuticals, clean sources of geothermal power, and novel rocket engines for interplanetary travel. These studies depend entirely on the microgravity environment provided by the International Space Station(ISS) ;in all other locations accessible to science, gravity dominates and precludes investigation of any other effects of interest. The experiment itself [consists of] photographing samples of colloidal particles with a digital camera onboard the ISS. Colloids are tiny nanoscale spheres of plexiglass a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair(submicron radius) that are suspended in a fluid. They are ubiquitous(e. g., milk, smoke, and paint) and therefore interesting to study directly. Colloids are also small enough that they behave much like atoms and so can be used to model all sorts of phenomena because their size, shape, and interactions can be controlled. The 10 samples in BCAT-3 are made from the same ingredients, each a recipe with different proportions, and are grouped into three experiments : critical point, binary alloy, and surface crystallization. [Text followed by an illustration of a BCAT-3 sample holder. ] 4, record 10, English, - binary%20alloy%20colloidal%20test

BCAT-3 is comprised of three separate experiments, which are individually referred to as a binary alloy (BCAT-3-BA), surface crystallization (BCAT-3-SC) and critical point (BCAT-3-CP). The critical point investigation is continuing with additional samples on future ISS [International Space Station] expeditions and will be referred to as Binary Colloidal Alloy Test - 4. BCAT-4 will consist of two sets of samples referred to as BCAT - 3 and 4: Critical Point (BCAT-3-4-CP) and BCAT-4:Polydisperse (BCAT-4-Poly). ... The Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-3 (BCAT-3) hardware supported three investigations in which ISS crews photographed samples of colloidal particles (tiny nanoscale spheres suspended in liquid) to document liquid/gas phase changes, growth of binary crystals, and the formation of colloidal crystals confined to a surface. Colloids are small enough that in a microgravity environment without sedimentation and convection, they behave much as atoms and so can be used to model all sorts of phenomena because their size, shape, and interactions can be controlled. The BCAT-3 payload consists of ten small samples of colloid alloys in which the microscopic colloid particles are mixed together into a liquid. These ten samples are contained within a small case that is the size of a school textbook. At the start of an experiment run, all ten samples are shaken to completely remix the colloid samples, much in the same way that salad dressing must be shaken to remix oil and vinegar. After the samples are mixed, what remains is periodically photographed using a digital camera until the colloid and liquid components of those samples have separated or the polymers have formed crystals. The samples can be remixed to repeat the experiment. The ten samples in BCAT-3 were selected as part of three separate experiments examining different physical processes: critical point, binary alloys, and surface crystallization. 5, record 10, English, - binary%20alloy%20colloidal%20test

Pourtant, bien que ces normes planétaires aient elles-mêmes donné naissance à l'espèce humaine dans le cadre de processus naturels, il semble bien que la destruction délibérée ou inconsciente de la riche biodiversité de vastes régions de la planète, dans un laps de temps extrêmement court (quelques siècles), constitue un écart inhabituel par rapport à ces normes. 1, record 14, French, - norme%20plan%C3%A9taire

The [DFM] meter indicates the distortion factor, which is the ratio of the rms total distortion to the amplitude of the fundamental frequency, including harmonics. 2, record 15, English, - distortion%20factor
Record number: 15, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A common measurement is total harmonic distortion(thd) where the fundamental of a very low distortion sine-wave test signal is removed by a steep notch filter. The summed harmonics that remain are then measured as a voltage of the fundamental at the required test power of the amplifier.(When measured in this manner the term thd is not really correct since the distortion also has the amplifier noise added to it within the test passband. The correct term is distortion factor).(GRAEL, 1977, p. 326). 3, record 15, English, - distortion%20factor
