General excavation is the term quite generally applied to the moving of portions of the earth’s crust for construction purposes. Other terms, such as earthmoving, may or may not mean the same thing. Confusion arises from the dual use of the word "earth" to refer, on the one hand, to the sphere on which we live, and on the other hand to that portion of the earth’s crust often termed "dirt," but now more frequently termed "soil." 4, record 2, English, - earthwork

Although one of the primary aims in durum wheat milling is to produce a speck-free product, bran specks in the final product are unavoidable. If wheat is improperly cleaned, foreign material such as earth pellets or insect fragments may also appear as black specks; kernels damaged by severe smudge, mildew, black point or ergot will also cause speckiness. Since a specky product is undesirable, one test for checking the efficiency of milling is the determination of number of specks per unit area of semolina. The definition of "speck" is not clear cut and differentiation must be made between bran specks and other dark or black specks. Insufficient cleaning of wheat, presence of damaged kernels in low grade wheats, and inefficient purification contribute to speckiness. Normally, the number of specks is reported as specks per 100 square centimetres. 2, record 6, English, - specks

Criteria for judging quality. Flour color: A very simple way to determine color differences in different batches of flour is to look at the color of different types of flour under a sheet of glass. This can be done with more than one flour at a time. This method not only facilitates a comparison of the whiteness of different flours but allows for an inspection for impurities. The flour should have a ..."perfectly regular consistency and not contain any specks". This obviously does not pertain to mixed grain or to other than white flours. 3, record 6, English, - specks

Bien que l'absence de piqûres soit une des caractéristiques les plus recherchées des semoules, les piqûres de son sont inévitables dans le produit final. Avec des blés mal nettoyés, divers corps étrangers (terre, fragments d'insectes) peuvent également apparaître comme des piqûres noires, tandis que les grains fortement avariés par la moucheture, le mildiou, la rouille ou l'ergot présenteront également des piqûres. Comme un produit piqué est indésirable, la détermination du nombre de piqûres par unité de surface de semoule constitue un test permettant de vérifier l'efficacité de la mouture. La définition du terme «piqûre» est imprécise et l'on doit établir une distinction entre celles qui sont causées par le son et les autres piqûres noires ou foncées. Un nettoyage insuffisant du blé, la présence de grains endommagés dans les blés de qualité inférieure et un sassage défectueux sont autant de causes possibles de la présence de piqûres. Normalement, leur nombre s'exprime en piqûres par 100 cm carrés. 1, record 6, French, - piq%C3%BBres%20de%20la%20farine

A schematic diagram of a modular concrete canister disposal (MCCD) facility is shown in Figure 5.5. Modular concrete canister disposal consists of placing individual waste containers in modular concrete structures (i.e. overpacking the individual waste containers in concrete canisters) and disposing of the concrete canisters in shallow low trenches below natural grade. Except for the use of the concrete canisters, the physical details of belowground modular concrete canister disposal closely resemble those of shallow land disposal (in that disposal is below grade with shallow cover) and belowground vaults (in that structured capability is also provided by the facility). 2, record 8, English, - modular%20concrete%20canister%20disposal

On élève des parois en béton le long de la fosse, constituant ainsi des cases dans lesquelles sont déposés les déchets après injection d'un coulis de ciment, on obtient un monolithe que l'on recouvre par une couche bitumineuse. Chaque case a comme dimensions 4,5 m X 4,5 m X 4 m. 1, record 9, French, - fosse%20creus%C3%A9e%20dans%20le%20sol

Modular concrete canister disposal. Figure 11 shows the canister disposal option. Its main characteristics are that :. wastes are placed in concrete canisters that can then be placed either in shallow, below-grade trenches or above grade on a concrete pad;. there is a shallow earthen cover over the waste trenches containing the canisters(earth or soil may be mounded over the canisters in the above-ground version) ;. structural stability is provided by each canister;. the structure is modular in nature; and. safety may be enhanced in future by additional engineered barriers. 3, record 10, English, - modular%20concrete%20canister

Stones(in all grains) include hard shale, coal, hard earth pellets, hard fertilizer pellets(except when found in domestic mustard seed) or other non-toxic materials of similar consistency. Any such material that is readily removable by ordinary cleaning methods is assessed as dockage. If a No. 6 buckwheat sieve or a No. 316 slotted sieve is used for special cleaning, the material removed may be assessed as dockage(see "Special cleaning" in the dockage assessment sections for each grain in this Guide). Grade tolerances established in this Guide are for material classed as stones which is not separable. Tolerances are normally expressed in number of stones per 500 grams. When this is not practical, stones are expressed as a percentage by weight. 1, record 11, English, - stones

Pierres (dans tous les grains) - comprennent le schiste dur, le charbon, les boulettes de terre dures, les boulettes d'engrais dures (sauf lorsqu'on les trouve dans la moutarde cultivée) ou autres matières non toxiques de consistance semblable. Toutes les matières semblables que l'on peut facilement extraire en utilisant les procédures ordinaires de nettoyage sont déterminées comme impuretés. Si on utilise un tamis à sarrasin no 6 ou un tamis à fentes no 316 pour effectuer un nettoyage spécial, on peut déterminer les matières extraites comme impuretés (voir «Nettoyage spécial» dans les sections du Guide portant sur la détermination des impuretés de chaque grain). Les tolérances de grades qui sont établies dans ce Guide se rapportent aux matières considérés comme des pierres, qui ne sont pas séparables. Les tolérances sont normalement exprimées en pierres par 500 grammes. Lorsque cela n'est pas pratique, la quantité est exprimée en pourcentage en poids. 1, record 11, French, - pierres
