Petrophysics is the study of the physical properties and the rock and fluid interaction in petroleum systems. A petrophysicist in the oil and gas industry helps fill in some of the details after geologists and geophysicists have found a reservoir target. Specifically, they create a clear picture of the reservoir's rock formation, fluid content, permeability and porosity. 2, record 1, English, - petrophysicist

[Détection et mesures des rayonnements nucléaires.] Gaz de remplissage : son choix est important puisque le développement de l’avalanche dépend largement de la dérive des électrons primaires. Toute trace d’oxygène doit être proscrite et on utilise le plus souvent un gaz rare (comme Ar [argon] ou Kr [krypton] ou Xe [xénon]) pour augmenter l’efficacité s’il s’agit de détecter des photons. Pour la détection des neutrons, on utilise d’autres gaz moins classiques. Ce gaz est souvent enfermé dans une enceinte scellée (emploi plus commode) ou peut être recyclé en permanence dans le compteur (dans la détection des particules chargées en particulier). 1, record 3, French, - gaz%20de%20remplissage

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The vacuum disc phenomenon was... described as the presence of "air" in the intervertebral soft tissues of the spine. It is related to advanced arthrosis of the intervertebral disc. In the early stages of disc degeneration, the nucleus pulposus begins to desiccate, which results in fissuring of the fibrocartilage. These fissures can develop into spaces or clefts that fill with gas from the surrounding tissues. Gas obtained by aspiration directly from a vacuum disc was found to consist of 92 per cent nitrogen. 2, record 5, English, - vacuum%20disk%20phenomenon

Electronic flash tubes are made in many sizes and forms, such as straight, U, or spiral shapes, as required for different applications. The gas pressure and electrode spacing are arranged so that the tube will not flash by itself in most applications. But when a triggering pulse is applied to an external electrode, internal ionization results, and the tube flashes. Most of the flash tubes used today are filled with Xenon gas at a pressure of a fraction of an atmosphere. A series of 1 microsecond exposures of the arc in a typical tube made with a magneto-optic shutter shows that the arc starts as a narrow filament adjacent to the flash-tube wall on the side of the external triggering electrode. Soon, if the energy is sufficiently large, the arc filament enlarges to fill the entire flash tube. 3, record 7, English, - electronic%20flash%20tube
