Record 4 2013-04-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics
DEF

Any request to the Web server for any type of file.

CONT

An HTML page can account for several hits : the page itself, each image on the page, and any embedded sound or video clips. Therefore, the number of hits a [Web site] receives is not a valid popularity gauge, but rather is an indication of server use and loading.

CONT

The term "hit" is perhaps the most misused term in online marketing, mistakenly used to mean unique visitors, visits, page views, or all of the above.

OBS

[It] can be an HTML page, an image (jpeg, gif, png, etc.), a sound clip, a cgi script, and many other file types.

OBS

web hit: The Translation Bureau recommends in its revised 2013 Linguistic Recommendation that “web” not be capitalized when it is part of a compound, whether the compound is written as two words or one, with or without a hyphen

French

Domaine(s)
  • Internet et télématique
DEF

Demande de fichier sur un serveur Web.

CONT

Chaque élément d'une page Web demandée (y compris les graphiques, un clip vidéo, du contenu audio, une animation Flash, etc.) est compté comme un appel de fichier individuel. Ainsi, une page ayant deux images nécessitera trois appels de fichier (1 page HTML + 2 images).

OBS

Étant donné que le nombre d'éléments par page est très variable, les appels de fichier sont peu fiables pour l'évaluation de l'achalandage d'un site Web.

OBS

requête : forme abrégée du terme «requête de fichier». Mise en garde : ce terme rend également la notion du terme anglais «query».

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Internet y telemática
DEF

Solicitud de un archivo realizada al servidor.

Record 8 2003-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A passage for conveying flame and hot gases around or through water in a steam boiler.

CONT

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes. The tubes may be firetube (flue gas inside, heated fluid outside) or watertube (fluid inside).

CONT

The firing tubes are copper clad on the water side. The 2 in. OD by number 13 gauge tubes are formed by telescoping a. 030 in. hard phosphorized copper tube over a. 065 in. seamless steel tube and drawing over a mandrel and through a die for a tight bond. Long tube life is positively assured under the most aggressive conditions.

The gauge indicates fineness of texture in knit fabrics. It refers to the number of needles in a given width. For example, in full fashioned hosiery the number of needles per 1. 5" represents the gauge; in circular knit hosiery it is the number of needles per 1". The higher the gauge-number the finer the texture of the fabric.

French

Record 14 1977-01-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
OBS

The number and location of gauges used in an index-type network is dependent on the complexity of the cause-and-effect relationship and the degree of association which is required. Generally, at least one gauge should be placed in each homogeneous contributing area. Also the network should provide indices for sub-watersheds which may be used for experimentation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géomorphologie et géomorphogénie
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
OBS

Le nombre et l'emplacement des pluviomètres utilisés dans un tel réseau de type-indice dépendent de la complexité de la relation cause à effet et du degré d'association nécessaire. Généralement, on devrait placer au moins une jauge pluviométrique dans chaque zone contributrice homogène. De plus, le réseau devrait fournir des indices sur les sous-bassins qui pourront servir à l'expérimentation.
