GLP-1(glucagon-like peptide-1) is a gut hormone which is released into the blood stream after feeding. Its main action is to stimulate insulin secretion through potentiating the insulinotropic action of glucose. The peptide is encoded in the glucagon gene and expressed mainly in the gut L cells. 3, record 1, English, - glucagon%2Dlike%20peptide%2D1

In a low-yield(i. e., bleachable grade) chemical pulping operation, knots are generally defined as the fraction of pulp that is retained on a 3/8" perforated plate... The pressure screen knotter... consists of a totally enclosed cylindrical, perforated screen through which accepted stock flows. A rotating foil produces a series of pressure and vacuum pulses to keep the perforations clean. Knots are retained on the entrance side of the screen and are continuously discharged, along with some good fiber. The main drawback of the pressure knotter is the requirement for secondary screening of the reject stream to return good fiber back to the system. 1, record 4, English, - pressure%20screen%20knotter

Les nœuds sont en général définis comme la quantité de pâte retenue (comme des copeaux de bois ou des amas de fibres) sur une plaque percée de trous de 0,95 cm de diamètre. [...] On utilise actuellement deux grands types de trieurs de nœuds [...] le classeur vibrant [...] Le classeur sous pression consiste en un cylindre complètement fermé et un tamis à travers duquel s'écoule la pâte acceptée. Une racle rotative produit une série de pulsations de vide et de pression contribuant à maintenir les orifices propres. Les nœuds sont retenus à l'entrée du classeur et évacués en continu en même temps qu'une certaine quantité de fibres acceptables. Ce type de classeur présente donc pour principal inconvénient de nécessiter une seconde étape de classage ayant pour objet la récupération des fibres en question. 1, record 4, French, - trieur%20de%20n%26oelig%3Buds%20sous%20pression

The HDD construction method is used to install pipelines beneath obstacles-such as stream crossings, lakes, coastal bluffs and road or railroad crossings where conventional open trench pipe construction techniques would cause unacceptable environmental disturbance or resource impacts. Using the continuous bore hole method, a HDD tunnels beneath surface obstacles and then pulls pipeline back through the underground tunnel, leaving the surface undisturbed. The HDD installation involves four main steps : pre-site planning, drilling the pilot hole, expanding pilot hole by reaming, and pullback of a pre-fabricated steel pipe string. 3, record 9, English, - horizontal%20directional%20drilling

There are two main types of primary cleaners : indent cylinder machines and screen machines. Most indent cylinder machines are equipped with a scalper-aspirator which combines a rotating cylindrical wire mesh with an air stream which passes through the falling grain stream. The former removes large foreign material such as wood, large straws, etc. while the air stream removes dust, leaves and other light objects. Thus the grain is cleaned partially before it reaches the indent cylinders. 1, record 18, English, - indent%20cylinder%20machine
