Note that if were making a geologic map, we could draw a line on the map that separates the pelitic rocks containing only Pyrophyllite from those containing Kyanite + Quartz. Such a line(a surface in 3 dimensions) is called an isograd(iso-same, grad-grade). In this case, since it represents the first appearance of Kyanite, we call it the Kyanite Isograd... If we continue walking along the direction that T & P increased in these rocks during metamorphism, we would eventually come to another place where in the pelitic rocks the mineral assemblage changes. This time the change is from Kyanite + Quartz to Sillimanite + Quartz. Again, we can draw a line on the map that indicates this change in mineral assemblage, this time calling it the Sillimanite Isograd. Just like before, this represents the point on the phase diagram, above, where the geothermal gradient intersected the boundary for the reaction... Because the sandstone and the limestone do not contain Kyanite, the isograd does not appear in these rocks, but we can still extrapolate its position across the map or outcrop. 3, record 3, English, - sillimanite%20isograd

The Grain Inventory Accounting System(GIAS) is a computer based system of grain accounting that replaces hard copy elevator receipt documentation. Prior to the development of GIAS, grain accounting was a paper-based system which relied on the terminal elevator receipt document to be representative of the stocks in store at a terminal. As the status of the grain changed(i. e., grade changes, blending, drying, etc.), like changes had to be made to the document(s) representing that grain. There was also the possibility of losing the hard copy document. Under GIAS, all transactions are done electronically; there are no lost documents; inventory records are manipulated as soon as the physical stocks of grain are manipulated and the elevator operators are able to keep their in-house accounting current. 2, record 5, English, - Grain%20Inventory%20Accounting%20System

Le Système de comptabilisation des stocks de grains (GIAS) est un système informatisé de comptabilisation des stocks de grains qui remplace le récépissé sur papier. Avant le développement du système GIAS, la comptabilisation des stocks se faisait sur papier et le récépissé de silo terminal devait être représentatif des stocks en magasin au silo terminal. À mesure que l'on apportait des changements au grain (p. ex. changements du grade, mélange, séchage, etc.), il fallait apporter les mêmes changements au(x) document(s) représentant ce grain. Il existait toujours la possibilité de perdre la copie sur papier. Selon le système GIAS, toutes les transactions se font électroniquement; on ne peut perdre de documents; les dossiers des stocks sont manipulés dès que les stocks physiques de grains le sont; les exploitants de silos sont en mesure de tenir leur comptabilisation interne à jour. De plus, les exploitants de silos agréés peuvent respecter les délais d'exécution précisés dans la Loi sur les grains du Canada et son Règlement qui régissent l'enregistrement et l'annulation de documents ou des dossiers électroniques ou les deux. 2, record 5, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20de%20comptabilisation%20des%20stocks%20de%20grains

However, statutory grades defined in Schedule 1 of the Canadian Grain Act cannot be established, amended or eleted, except by Order of the Governor in Council on the Commission's recommendation. These statutory grades are the keystone of the Canadian grading system. They cover most grades sold domestically or for export, and are recognized and accepted by all purchasers of Canadian grain.

A double tempering system is preferable for conditioning prior to milling. Unlike hard red spring wheats, the time required to bring sound, good quality durum to optimum milling condition is only five to six hours. Longer periods cause pigment changes resulting in loss of colour in the semolina and the pasta end product. It should be emphasized, however, that this tempering time may vary depending on the quality of durum wheat. A poor grade containing a high percentage of white grains absorbs moisture quickly and may require no more than three hours tempering time. Durum wheat is usually milled at a moisture content of approximately 16% to yield semolina at 14% moisture content. 1, record 11, English, - double%20tempering%20system

On préfère un système à double conditionnement avant la mouture du grain. A la différence des blés de force roux de printemps, le temps nécessaire pour conditionner parfaitement un blé dur sain et de bonne qualité n'est que de 5 à 6 heures. Une durée plus longue entraîne des modifications dans la pigmentation et une perte de couleur de la semoule et des pâtes alimentaires obtenues. Il convient de souligner, toutefois, que cette période de conditionnement peut varier selon la qualité du blé dur. Le blé dur de qualité inférieure contenant une forte proportion de grains blancs absorbe rapidement l'humidité et peut nécessiter une durée de conditionnement ne dépassant pas 3 heures. Le blé dur est généralement écrasé à environ 16% d'humidité pour produire une semoule à 14% d'humidité. 1, record 11, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A0%20double%20conditionnement
