The neutron moisture meter consists of two main components, a probe and a gauge. The probe contains a source of fast neutrons, and the gauge monitors the flux of slow neutrons scattered by the soil.

Les humidimètres neutroniques (ou sondes à neutrons) mesurent l'humidité volumique du sol en utilisant la propriété qu'ont les neutrons rapides à être ralentis préférentiellement par les atomes d'hydrogène, qui dans le sol sont majoritairement inclus dans les molécules d'eau. [...] La mesure consiste donc à compter pendant un temps déterminé (de l'ordre de la minute) le nombre de neutrons lents qui reviennent vers la sonde. Ce nombre est proportionnel à l'humidité volumique su sol. 2, record 4, French, - sonde%20%C3%A0%20neutrons

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The surface energy balance is the resultant of radiative components such as incoming and outgoing short-wave and long-wave radiation, and also non-radiative components such as sensible heating, latent heating, and the change in energy storage in water or substrate on land. 3, record 5, English, - surface%20energy%20balance
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The main terms involved include the vertical fluxes of energy into or out of the surface due to net radiation, sensible heat, and latent heat, as well as the net horizontal fluxes of energy that may take place below the surface(e. g., due to ocean currents). Any nonzero residual flux is typically applied as a storage term, increasing or decreasing the internal energy below the surface, usually resulting in an associated change of surface temperature. 2, record 5, English, - surface%20energy%20balance

D'un point de vue formel, on peut exprimer le bilan énergétique de la surface comme suit : Rn = H + LE + G. Où Rn représente le rayonnement net à la surface, H le flux de chaleur sensible libéré dans l'atmosphère par conduction et convection subséquente, LE le flux de chaleur latente libéré par évaporation et G le flux de chaleur dans le sol qui traduit l'énergie transmise aux couches profondes. 2, record 5, French, - bilan%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique%20de%20la%20surface

Le bilan énergétique de la surface. Les propriétés optiques de la surface qui reçoit le rayonnement solaire sont primordiales dans les échanges thermiques. En effet, toute surface absorbe une partie du rayonnement et réémet le reste, l'absorption étant un phénomène qui transforme l'énergie par rayonnement en énergie thermique (chaleur). La quantité de chaleur disponible au sol dépend donc du rayonnement solaire mais aussi de la proportion du rayonnement réémis vers l'espace. Ainsi la neige renvoie 80% de l'énergie qu'elle reçoit. 3, record 5, French, - bilan%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique%20de%20la%20surface

Some motors use an ingenious field system designed for a d. c. machine which operates on thyristor power supplies. The poles used consists of stacks of "C" shaped laminations which divide the yoke into four separate parts(for a four-pole motor) which are integral with the opposite halves of adjacent poles. This is called the Dynalam field system with split main poles [developed by the Electro Dynamic Construction Co Ltd](...). The advantage of this split-pole arrangement is illustrated in Fig. 8. 7 which gives a diagrammatic comparison of flux distribution in the field system of Dynalam motors and conventional d. c. machines. 1, record 6, English, - Dynalam%20motor
