A stage in the breadmaking process where the scaled dough pieces are shaped or rounded to provide a skin around the dough to hold the gas produced by fermentation and to eliminate some of the stickiness. 3, record 1, English, - rounding

The main functions of the rounding operation are : to form a skin around the dough piece to minimize gas diffusion; to reorient the gluten structure to improve its gas retaining properties; and to form the dough into a ball for easier handling in subsequent step. Three types of rounders are used commercially : the cone, umbrella and drum. In each case the dough piece is forced to travel on a moving surface in a continually rotating motion. 4, record 1, English, - rounding

Mass analyzers are systems designed to identify and measure materials according to their molecular weights. The technique has been adapted for many other applications ranging from physics research and the identification of complex molecular structure to assuring the integrity of the fuel systems on the space shuttle and routine helium leak detection. While the uses of mass analyzers in the microelectronics industry include some exotic applications, such as SIMS, the greatest number of systems are used for various types of gas analysis. Applications for mass analyzers include process monitoring, process engineering and control in such areas as evaporation, MBE, sputter etch and deposition, plasma etch and deposition, ion, implantation, LPCVD, CVD, and diffusion furnaces. Another important application is high purity gas certification and electronic gas mixture verification. 2, record 2, English, - mass%20analyser

The carbon cycle models the movement and storage of carbon in the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Carbon is stored in the biosphere as living organisms; in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas; in the lithosphere as soil organic matter, as fossil fuel deposits, and as sedimentary rock deposits; and in the oceans as dissolved carbon dioxide gas and as calcium carbonate shells in marine organisms. Processes that move carbon from one store to another include photosynthesis, respiration, oceanic diffusion, biomass combustion, fossil fuel burning, fossil fuel creation, and sedimentary rock formation. 4, record 3, English, - carbon%20cycle

Ciclo del carbono. El carbono es elemento básico en la formación de las moléculas de carbohidratos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos, pues todas las moléculas orgánicas están formadas por cadenas de carbonos enlazados entre sí. La reserva fundamental de carbono, en moléculas de CO2 que los seres vivos puedan asimilar, es la atmósfera y la hidrosfera. Este gas está en la atmósfera en una concentración de más del 0,03% y cada año aproximadamente un 5% de estas reservas de CO2, se consumen en los procesos de fotosíntesis, es decir que todo el anhídrido carbónico se renueva en la atmósfera cada 20 años. 3, record 3, Spanish, - ciclo%20del%20carbono

The salts of hydrochloric acid, known as chlorides, can, in most cases, be prepared by dissolving either the metal, its hydroxide, oxide, or carbonate in the acid; or by heating the metal in a current of chlorine, or by precipitation. The majority of the metallic chlorides are solids (stannic chloride, titanic chloride and antimony pentachloride are liquids) which readily volatilize on heating. Many are readily soluble in water, the chief exceptions being silver, chloride, mercurous chloride, cuprous chloride and palladious chloride which are insoluble in water, and thallous chloride and lead chloride which are only slightly soluble in cold water, but are readily soluble in hot water. 3, record 7, English, - metallic%20chloride

Chlorine induced corrosion is the most important corrosion process in power plants, firing waste, coal and/or biomass. Depending on the process, chlorine is present as HCl gas, as solid KCl and NaCl in ashes or as eutectic melts i. e. KCl-ZnCl2 in deposits of waste fired boilers. In the presence of HCl gas and solid chlorides, "active oxidation" is generally accepted as the major corrosion mechanism. Metal chlorides are formed by inward diffusion of chlorine to the metal/oxide interface, evaporating and subsequently oxidized to non-protective oxides and additional chlorine. 4, record 7, English, - metallic%20chloride

En revanche, lorsqu'il est nécessaire de préciser la nature du métal (métaux alcalins, métaux alcalino-terreux, métaux de transition, métaux des terres rares, métaux lourds, etc.), il est préférable, pour éviter toute ambiguïté, d'utiliser la locution «de métal».

The main functions of the rounding operation are : to form a skin around the dough piece to minimize gas diffusion; to reorient the gluten structure to improve its gas retaining properties; and to form the dough into a ball for easier handling in subsequent step. Three types of rounders are used commercially : the cone, umbrella and drum. In each case the dough piece is forced to travel on a moving surface in a continually rotating motion. 1, record 11, English, - drum%20rounder

L'objectif principal du boulage est de former une pellicule autour du pâton pour réduire au minimum la diffusion des gaz, de réorienter la structure du gluten de manière à améliorer sa rétention du gaz et de donner au pâton une forme arrondie qui se prête mieux aux manipulations ultérieures. On utilise commercialement trois sortes de bouleuses : à cône, à cône inversé et à tambour. Dans tous les cas, le pâton doit se déplacer sur une surface mobile, dans un mouvement de rotation continu. 1, record 11, French, - bouleuse%20%C3%A0%20c%C3%B4ne%20invers%C3%A9

Terrain can influence the transport and diffusion of hazardous gases to a critical degree, especially for heavier-than-air gases. Channelling of winds along valleys can lead to transport of gases with restricted lateral diffusion for considerable distances. In light winds, the slope of terrain has a significant influence on local airflow.

L'action thermique du relief crée un régime de vent particulier à la vallée : brises de pente, brises de vallée. La brise de pente est due à la différence de température entre le sol incliné d'un relief quelconque et l'air libre au même niveau. Sous l'influence du rayonnement solaire, le sol se réchauffe plus vite que l'air libre durant le jour. L'air, qui se trouve directement au contact du sol, tend donc à s'élever le long de la pente tandis que l'air libre s'affaisse : c'est la brise montante. La nuit au contraire, le sol refroidit par rayonnement l'air qui se trouve en contact avec lui. Cet air devenu plus lourd s'écoule le long de la pente : c'est la brise descendante. La brise de pente sera d'autant plus accentuée que la vallée sera large et que la pente sera exposée au soleil. 2, record 16, French, - %C3%A9coulement%20de%20pente
