After grain was placed in the bin, a standard compartmentalized grain probe was used to obtain grain samples along the diameter of the bin at 30-cm intervals, starting at a point 15 cm from the bin wall. The grain probe was 3 m long, with compartments at 14-cm intervals. Samples from each two adjacent compartments in the probe were combined and screened with appropriate sieves to determine the fine material content. The percentages of fine material content in each sample established the distribution of fine material in the bin. 2, record 1, English, - compartmentalized%20grain%20probe

The Indian-meal moth has a wing-spread of about 2 centimetres. The forewings are creamy white next to the body, and have a reddish-brown colour with a coppery lustre on the outer two-thirds. The female moth lays about 200 eggs, either singly or in groups, on food material. The larvae are dirty white in colour, often with a greenish or pinkish tint. The newly hatched larvae are almost never seen because of their small size and the fact that they burrow as far as two metres into the grain mass. They normally remain in the grain until they have completed their larval growth. When fully grown they are about 1.2 centimetres long. In summer their life cycle is about six weeks. 1, record 3, English, - indian%2Dmeal%20moth

The Indian-meal moth is cosmopolitan in distribution, feeding on stored grain as well as nuts, dried fruits and packaged cereals. The principal damage caused to wheat is to the germ : a single larva may destroy the germ of approximately 50 kernels in completing its development. Degermed kernels reduce the grade and produce flour inferior in baking quality. 1, record 3, English, - indian%2Dmeal%20moth

La pyrale indienne de la farine est un insecte cosmopolite qui se nourrit du grain entreposé ainsi que de noix, de fruits secs et de céréales en boîte. Elle s'attaque principalement au germe du grain de blé; en effet, une seule chenille peut détruire le germe d'environ cinquante grains au cours de son développement. La présence de grains dégermés diminue la qualité des céréales ainsi que la valeur boulangère de la farine. 2, record 3, French, - pyrale%20indienne%20de%20la%20farine

Les ailes de la pyrale indienne de la farine ont une envergure d'environ 2 cm. Les ailes antérieures sont, à la base, d'un blanc crème et, sur les deux tiers restants, d'un brun roux aux reflets cuivrés. La femelle pond environ deux cents œufs, qu'elle expulse isolément ou en groupe sur ce qui lui sert de nourriture. La chenille est de couleur blanc jaunâtre, souvent teintée de verdâtre ou de rosâtre. Il est difficile de déceler la présence de la chenille nouvellement éclose parce qu'elle est très petite et qu'elle pénètre jusqu'à 2 m de profondeur dans la masse des grains. Elle y demeure habituellement jusqu'à la nymphose. Elle mesure à ce moment environ 1,2 cm. En été, le cycle évolutif demande environ six semaines. 2, record 3, French, - pyrale%20indienne%20de%20la%20farine

The objectives in wheat conditioning are primarily to improve the physical state of the grain for milling... The processes of conditioning involve the addition of moisture to wheats that are too dry or its removal from those that are too wet, and often the heating and cooling of grain for definite periods of time, in order to obtain the desired average moisture content in the mass of the grain, and the desired distribution of moisture throughout each individual grain. 2, record 5, English, - conditioning

The positive is produced from the negative and accurately represents dark and light. The fine grain master positive(also known as the interpositive) is a positive version of the camera negative made for duplication purposes. It is an intermediate element and has a very low overall contrast between blacks and whites. Because prints increase in contrast with each duplication, the negatives made from this positive will contain the true blacks and whites from the original camera negative. It is used to create duplicate negatives. These duplicate negatives will then be used to make projection prints.

Whether washing is used or not, the wheat must be brought to a specific moisture content to prepare it for milling. This is achieved by several cycles of wetting and resting. In milling technology this is called tempering. The wetting is carried out in a damping conveyor where a controlled amount of water is sprayed on the moving wheat as it is conveyed slowly to the tempering bin where the wheat is allowed to rest for a predetermined period. Following the first tempering, the wheat may go through a second tempering cycle. A two stage tempering system is preferred over a single stage, since there are occasions when the moisture content of the grain must be increased by as much as 6. 0%. It is much easier to make this addition in two stages, separated by a rest period, to allow for proper distribution of moisture in the wheat kernel. Tempering the wheat to a proper moisture content is an essential part of the milling process. Optimal tempering toughens the bran and thereby facilitates its separation from the endosperm without extensive powdering. It also mellows the endosperm and this facilitates its reduction without excessive starch damage. 1, record 12, English, - wetting

Lavé ou non, le blé doit être imprégné d'une certaine humidité pour l'opération de mouture. A cette fin, on le soumet à plusieurs cycles de mouillage et de repos qu'on appelle, en meunerie, le conditionnement. On utilise pour l'humidification une vis mouilleuse sur laquelle on pulvérise une quantité contrôlée d'eau pendant que le blé se dirige lentement vers les cellules de repos où on le laisse reposer pendant un temps déterminé. Le blé peut ensuite repasser par tout le cycle de conditionnement. On préfère généralement un conditionnement en deux étapes, puisqu'il faut dans certains cas accroître l'humidité du grain de 6%. Il est beaucoup plus facile d'effectuer cette opération en deux fois, avec une période de repos intermédiaire, pour permettre une bonne répartition de l'humidité dans tout le grain. Ce conditionnement du blé par humidification est l'une des étapes préparatoires essentielles à la mouture. Effectué dans les meilleurs conditions, il a pour effet d'assouplir le son et de faciliter ainsi sa séparation de l'albumen sans trop le pulvériser. Ce traitement amollit également l'albumen et facilite ainsi sa réduction sans endommager outre mesure l'amidon. 1, record 12, French, - humidification

Lavé ou non, le blé doit être imprégné d'une certaine humidité pour l'opération de mouture. A cette fin, on le soumet à plusieurs cycles de mouillage et de repos qu'on appelle, en meunerie, le conditionnement. On utilise pour l'humidification une vis mouilleuse sur laquelle on pulvérise une quantité contrôlée d'eau pendant que le blé se dirige lentement vers les cellules de repos où on le laisse reposer pendant un temps déterminé. Le blé peut ensuite repasser par tout le cycle de conditionnement. On préfère généralement un conditionnement en deux étapes, puisqu'il faut dans certains cas accroître l'humidité du grain de 6%. Il est beaucoup plus facile d'effectuer cette opération en deux fois, avec une période de repos intermédiaire, pour permettre une bonne répartition de l'humidité dans tout le grain. Ce conditionnement du blé par humidification est l'une des étapes préparatoires essentielles à la mouture. Effectué dans les meilleurs conditions, il a pour effet d'assouplir le son et de faciliter ainsi sa séparation de l'albumen sans trop le pulvériser. Ce traitement amollit également l'albumen et facilite ainsi sa réduction sans endommager outre mesure l'amidon. 1, record 13, French, - conditionnement

Whether washing is used or not, the wheat must be brought to a specific moisture content to prepare it for milling. This is achieved by several cycles of wetting and resting. In milling technology this is called tempering. The wetting is carried out in a damping conveyor where a controlled amount of water is sprayed on the moving wheat as it is conveyed slowly to the tempering bin where the wheat is allowed to rest for a predetermined period. Following the first tempering, the wheat may go through a second tempering cycle. A two stage tempering system is preferred over a single stage, since there are occasions when the moisture content of the grain must be increased by as much as 6. 0%. It is much easier to make this addition in two stages, separated by a rest period, to allow for proper distribution of moisture in the wheat kernel. Tempering the wheat to a proper moisture content is an essential part of the milling process. Optimal tempering toughens the bran and thereby facilitates its separation from the endosperm without extensive powdering. It also mellows the endosperm and this facilitates its reduction without excessive starch damage. 1, record 14, English, - tempering%20bin

Surface application is one of the approved methods for application of liquid fumigants. Surface application is effective for treating top infestations such as grain moths or secondary beetles in flat storages. Flat storages and annexes can be treated only by surface applications, applying the liquid fumigants under pressure.

Retention criterion.... Criteria for granular filters can be found in many text book on soil mechanics.... In these criteria, which have been drawn up on the basis of laboratory tests, a defined grain size is often compared with a pore diameter of the filter. The behaviour of soil material, especially in the case of cohesive soils, is a far too complicated phenomenon to be predicted only from the grain-size distribution. Because of this there is little to be gained by enumerating a large number of sometimes contradictory criteria for both granular and synthetic filter materials. 3, record 18, English, - retention%20criterion
