DEF

A form of check not employed in the United States but extensively used in England where it is recognized by law. Crossing is of two kinds, general and special. General crossing consists of drawing two parallel or transverse lines across the face of a check without the addition of any words. ... If the name of the bank or banker is added in a crossing, however, the check ... is known as a special crossing. When a check is crossed, generally the bank on which it is drawn may not pay it to any other party than to a bank, and when it is crossed specially, to no other than the banker specified in the crossing.

In a galaxy, roughly once every ten thousand years, a star gets disrupted by the strong tidal forces of [a] central supermassive black hole. About half of the stellar debris continues on its original trajectory, while the other half becomes gravitationally bound and falls back towards the black hole. The accretion of this bound stellar material causes a short-lived flare of emission, known as a tidal disruption event(TDE).

OBS

The International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale can be applied to any event associated with nuclear facilities, as well as with the transport, storage and use of radioactive material and radiation sources.... Naturally occurring phenomena are excluded from INES.

OBS

Events are classified on the scale at seven levels: Levels 1–3 are called "incidents" and Levels 4–7 "accidents."

Events without safety significance are called "deviations" and are classified Below Scale/Level 0.

The purpose of shear testing is to determine the integrity of material and procedures used to attach two items together. This is done by applying a precisely applied and controlled shear force to the side of the item being tested. In the event of a failure, it is necessary to know the force at which the failure occurred. This information, along with the visual appearance of the separation, is used to determine the reason for the failure.

Bonding strips are just strands of braided conductive material that allows the charges that are carried by the aircraft(due mainly to friction with the moving airstream) to equalize throughout the aircraft. In any event what should happen is that the current from the lightening should pass throught the structure, through the bonding strips and be discharged into the atmosphere through the static wicks that are on the trailing edge of the wing tips and rudder.

Beginning in the late 1970s there were unconfirmed reports of an event in the Urals that resulted in widespread contamination of the environs. We now know that this was a chemical explosion in a high level waste storage tank in 1957. This chemical explosion resulted in 20 MCi of radioactive material thrown out from the tank and 2 MCi were dispersed downwind as a plume. This plume contaminated about 23, 000 square kilometers and became known as the "Eastern Urals Radioactive Trace(EURT) ". About 270, 000 persons were exposed and 8, 000 were relocated within periods ranging from 10 to 670 days after the explosion.

An ESD [electrostatic discharge] event can occur when any charged conductor(including the human body) discharges to an ESDS(electrostatic discharge sensitive) device. The most common cause of electrostatic damage is the direct transfer of electrostatic charge from the human body or a charged material to the electrostatic discharge sensitive(ESDS) device. When one walks across a floor, an electrostatic charge accumulates on the body. Simple contact of a finger to the leads of an ESDS device or assembly allows the body to discharge, possibly causing device damage.... The transfer of charge from an ESDS device is also an ESD event. Static charge may accumulate on the ESDS device itself through handling or contact with packaging materials, worksurfaces, or machine surfaces.

A typical micronic type filter... utilizes an element made of specially treated paper which is formed in vertical convolutions(wrinkles). An internal spring holds the elements in shape. The micronic element is designed to prevent the passage of solids greater than 10 microns(0. 000394 inch) in size. In the event that the filter element becomes clogged, the spring loaded relief valve in the filter head will bypass the fluid after a differential pressure of 50 p. s. i. has been built up. Hydraulic fluid enters the filter through the inlet port in the filter body and flows around the element inside the bowl. Filtering takes place as the fluid passes through the element into the hollow core, leaving the foreign material on the outside of the element.

In behaviourist theories of learning, the presentation of a reward after the desired response has been made.

CONT

Teaching... becomes "simply the arrangement of contingencies of reinforcement"(Skinner, 1968). Since the important event is considered to be the reinforcement and this should only follow the occurrence of desired behaviour, it follows that the teaching material should be organised so as to maximise the probability of correct responses.

OBS

Lessons for children frequently engage in activities that reinforce correct responses. This may be done with encouraging words such as "You’re doing a great job!" or with an interesting picture or animation. However, such reinforcers should have variety and should not be too time consuming, especially if they occur frequently.

erupting prominences. Although prominence equilibria are maintained on a long period of time, many quiescent prominences do ultimately erupt in a dramatic event lasting only a few hours. Incredibly, the eruption always occurs outwards, away from the surface, indicating that the magnetic field which originally supported the prominence has suddenly released its stored energy. This energy release is sufficient to drive the dense plasma outwards against the Sun's huge gravitational pull. After the eruption, most of the material does eventually fall back down towards the surface and the prominence will often reform again at the same location over the course of a few days.

Record 81 1998-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Freight
  • Statutes and Regulations (Air Transport)
CONT

International Air Transport Association restricted articles regulations. General information.... "Other Restricted Articles" : defined as articles which are not otherwise defined in these Regulations and which possess characteristics as described in one of the following groups :"Group A" [ORA-A or ORA. A] has anaesthetic, noxious, toxic, or other characteristics which can cause extreme annoyance or discomfort to passengers and crew in the event of leakage in flight. "Group B" [ORA-B or ORA. B] is a solid material which, when wet, becomes strongly corrosive so as to be capable of causing damage to aircraft structure. "Group C" [ORA-C or ORA. C] has other inherent characteristics which make it unsuitable for air carriage, unless properly prepared for shipment.

OBS

USA regulations require the use of the term "ORM", meaning Other Regulated Materials, in place of "ORA".

  • Fret aérien
  • Réglementation et législation (Transp. aérien)
CONT

Les particularités du transport aérien ont conduit I.A.T.A. à concevoir, par ailleurs, la notion des «autres articles réglementés», dont le texte se borne à indiquer qu'ils comprennent ceux qui ne sont pas définis autrement mais présentent les caractéristiques reprises dans l'un des groupes A.B.C. ci-dessous. La définition de ceux-ci montre qu'ils regroupent des marchandises réparties selon l'importance, le degré et non pas la nature du danger. De ce fait, en principe, les «autres articles réglementés» pourraient comprendre des matières de toutes classes de danger. Pratiquement ils se rapportent tout spécialement aux matières de caractères toxiques, certains corrosifs, et aux gaz non comprimés ininflammables et non toxiques.

OBS

La réglementation américaine exige l'utilisation du terme «ORM» signifiant «other regulated materials» (autres matières réglementées) à la place de AAR. Par exemple «AAR.A» devient «ORM.A».
