biochemical oxygen demand; biological oxygen demand; BOD; B. O. D. :[These terms and abbreviations can also refer] to a chemical procedure for determining this amount. This is not a precise quantitative test, although it is widely used as an indication of the organic quality of water. The BOD value is most commonly expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per litre of sample during 5 days of incubation at 20 °C and is often used as a robust surrogate of the degree of organic pollution of water.... BOD can be used as a gauge of the effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants.... BOD is similar in function to chemical oxygen demand(COD), in that both measure the amount of organic compounds in water. However, COD is less specific, since it measures everything that can be chemically oxidized, rather than just levels of biologically active organic matter. 2, record 1, English, - biochemical%20oxygen%20demand

During the 1970-71 crop year, a procedure known as "pooling of grain" was introduced at the ports of Vancouver and Thunder Bay to reduce the amount of switching required. Under this system, all Wheat Board grain, that is export wheat, oats and barley(except selected lots), is placed at any terminal for unloading, no matter to which elevator company it is consigned. Time is saved by eliminating the switching formerly required to effect mandatory delivery to the elevator company indicated on the bill of lading. 1, record 4, English, - pooling%20of%20grain

Pendant la campagne agricole de 1970-1971, on a adopté aux ports de Vancouver et de Thunder Bay un procédé appelé «pool du grain», en vue de réduire les échanges. Suivant ce procédé, tout le grain de la Commission du blé, c'est-à-dire le blé, l'avoine et l'orge d'exportation (à l'exception de certains chargements) est stocké dans n'importe quel silo portuaire, quelle que soit la compagnie manutentionnaire à laquelle il a été consigné. On gagne ainsi un temps précieux en supprimant les manœuvres nécessitées jusque-là par l'obligation de livrer le grain à la compagnie de silos figurant sur la lettre de voiture. 1, record 4, French, - pool%20du%20grain

Effective and easy to use, the revolutionary solution of silica nanoparticles is capable of closing deep wounds in a matter of seconds... The researchers were able to test the nanoglue procedure alongside current conventional methods for sealing deep wounds or repairing cuts to an organ, and the results lived up to expectations. The nanoglue method resulted in minimal scarring, an absence of necrosis or inflammation, and rapid healing of the wound. Hemorrhaging is quickly stopped and organ function is preserved. 1, record 5, English, - nanoglue

A less dramatic use for thrust reversers is the powerback, a maneuver in which an aircraft is backed up under its own power. As a matter of procedure, pilots are cautioned not to apply brakes while powering back, as this may cause the aircraft to settle on its tail.
