GASSING [11 records]

Record 1 2017-06-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Cells (Electr.)
DEF

The rate of charge, in amperes, to which charging current is reduced near the end of the charge for some types of batteries to prevent gassing and temperature rise.

OBS

[A] constant current charge [is] a charge that maintains the current at a constant value. For some types of batteries this may involve two rates, called a starting and a finishing rate.

OBS

finishing rate: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Accumulateurs (Électricité)
DEF

Régime de charge utilisé à l’approche de la fin d’une charge lorsque les cellules commencent à produire des gaz.

OBS

régime de fin de charge : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Record 2 2016-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
  • Crop Protection
OBS

In the rather limited literature on mole control, emphasis is placed on trapping as the most efficient means of eliminating the mole. Of secondary value is poisoning : using poisoned bait, poisoned earthworms, or by gassing burrows. The mole-specific term most frequently encountered is "mole toxicant". More usually, "poisons", "baits", and "fumigants" are mentioned during general discussions on mole control.

Key term(s)
  • mole fumigant
  • mole killer
  • shrew killer

Domaine(s)

Record 3 2011-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
DEF

[A] flour produced by grinding malted(sprouted or germinated) wheat or barley and used as an adjunct to bread flour to improve its gassing powers.

CONT

Malted cereal flour is inexpensive and can be used in brewing and in the preparation of malt extract for pharmaceutical purposes and in the preparation of malted milk powder.

OBS

malt cereal flour: Term used at the Canadian Grain Commission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minoterie et céréales
DEF

Farine obtenue par la mouture de blé ou d'orge malté (germé) et utilisée comme additif dans la farine ordinaire pour en accroître le pouvoir gazeux.

OBS

Terme en usage à la Commission canadienne des grains.

Record 4 2010-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Breadmaking
  • Biochemistry
DEF

The power to produce gas.

CONT

In the bakery reference is made to the gassing power of flour. This depends upon the presence of sufficient fermentable sugar(or power to produce sugar) in a dough from which yeast can evolve carbon dioxide to aerate the dough.

OBS

Term used at the Canadian Grain Commission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
  • Boulangerie
  • Biochimie
DEF

Mesure de l'aptitude d'une pâte à pain (y compris tous ses ingrédients) à produire le gaz carbonique nécessaire à la levée (pousse).

OBS

pouvoir gazeux : terme en usage à la Commission canadienne des grains.

Record 5 2002-11-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
DEF

Singeing(also called gassing) : a process applied to both yarns and fabrics to produce an even surface by burning off projecting fibres, yarn ends, and fuzz. This is accomplished by passing the fibre or yarn over a gas flame or heated copper plates at a speed sufficient to burn away the protruding material without scorching or burning the yarn or fabric.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
DEF

[...] flambage (ou grillage) : il s'agit de détruire les duvets des fibrilles dépassant de la surface de certaines qualités de fil et d'étoffe, par passage rapide dans une flamme.

CONT

Gazage : Action de gazer les fils des tissus (syn. : flambage, grillage). Le gazage permet de brûler des peluches dépassant le corps du fil.

OBS

Flambage ou gazage : lorsque le duvet des fils et tissus est brûlé au contact d'une flamme à gaz; grillage : consiste à brûler le duvet des fils et tissus au contact d'une plaque métallique portée au rouge.

Record 7 2001-07-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Total gassing power of a dough is a function of both the level of damaged starch and the alpha amylase activity of the flour. An increase in either causes an increase in values of such quality prediction tests as gassing power, diastatic activity and maltose value.

OBS

Gassing power : The power to produce gas. In the bakery reference is made to the gassing power of flour...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
  • Boulangerie
CONT

Les propriétés gazeuses totales d'une pâte sont fonction à la fois de la quantité d'amidon endommagé et de l'activité des amylases dans la farine. Tout accroissement de l'une ou de l'autre entraîne une augmentation des valeurs dans certains essais utilisés pour prédire la qualité, comme le pouvoir gazeux, l'activité diastasique et l'indice de maltose.

Record 9 1993-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Zoology
CONT

To control rabies in free-ranging animals, health officials in the 1950s had depended on thinning populations that harbored the offending virus. They tried gassing of dens, poisoning, trapping and shooting, among other tactics... Biologists reviewing some 10 years of experience with population-reduction programs for foxes, skunks and raccoons concluded that to improve the success rate, enormous numbers of animals would have to be killed. Because the species reproduce prolifically, destruction of more than 60 percent of a population would often be required to ensure that eradication of rabies persisted beyond one reproductive cycle...
