Mackenzie Gas Project proposes to develop natural gas fields in the Mackenzie Delta of Canada's Northwest Territories and deliver the natural gas and natural gas liquids to markets in Canada and the United States. The Project consists of five major parts :• three natural gas field production facilities • a gathering pipeline system • a gas processing facility near Inuvik(the Inuvik area facility) • a natural gas liquids pipeline from the Inuvik area facility to Norman Wells • a natural gas pipeline from the Inuvik area facility to northwestern Alberta. 2, record 1, English, - Mackenzie%20Gas%20Project

Le projet gazier Mackenzie (PGM) est un projet sans précédent dans l'histoire du Nord, que ce soit en raison de sa taille, de sa portée ou des possibilités qu'il présente pour les résidants du Nord et toute la population canadienne. Le PGM consisterait en la construction d'installations et l'exploitation de trois champs de gaz naturel dans le delta du Mackenzie, situé dans les Territoires du Nord Ouest; l'établissement d'un réseau collecteur de gaz naturel et de liquides de gaz naturel; la construction d'installations de traitement près d'Inuvik; et l'aménagement de pipelines qui transporteront le gaz naturel et les liquides de gaz naturel vers le sud, le long de la vallée du Mackenzie. 2, record 1, French, - projet%20gazier%20Mackenzie

Advanced Gradient Heating Facility(AGHF)... The AGHF supports the production of advanced semiconductor materials and alloys using the directional solidification process, which depends on establishing a hot side and a cold side in the sample(a temperature gradient). It provides an extremely stable temperature environment of up to 1, 400°C, high-temperature gradients of up to 100°C/cm in the solidification zone, slow movement of the gradient across a sample to provide slow growth rates, efficient cooling through the use of a liquid metal cooling ring attached to the sample container, and Peltier pulse marking capability. The AGHF consists of three modules mounted in one side of a Spacelab double rack : the Core Facility Module contains the processing chamber with the furnace inside; the Electronics Module contains the controls and equipment necessary to operate the furnace; and the Gas Storage Module contains argon for chamber repressurization and sample cooling. 2, record 10, English, - advanced%20gradient%20heating%20facility
