Vitellogenesis in decapod crustacea... has been shown to be mediated by hormones.... Female shrimps often do not mature fully, even though maturing eggs can be found in the ovaries. The maturation process seems to be inhibited by a gonad-inhibiting hormone(GIH)... The ablation(surgical removal) of eye stalks, which have the glands containing the inhibitory hormone, has been shown to accelerate vitellogenesis. 4, record 2, English, - gonad%2Dinhibiting%20hormone

[...] les utilisateurs industriels de la farine, tels que les boulangers et les autres fabricants de produits alimentaires [doivent être capable de] vérifier les propriétés de la farine qu'ils achètent de façon à maintenir un bon contrôle qualitatif. Certaines de ces propriétés, le taux d'humidité par exemple, sont relativement faciles à mesurer; d'autres, telles que les propriétés rhéologiques, qui ont trait à la consistance de la pâte, requièrent un appareillage spécialisé. Les méthodes utilisées sont sujettes à des normes internationales, mais il peut y avoir d'importantes disparités entre les mesures effectuées par différents laboratoires. Non seulement, ces différences peuvent avoir de graves conséquences financières lorsque les quantités de farine sont énormes, mais en plus elles imposent parfois un surcroît de travail quand les tests doivent être répétés. 2, record 5, French, - propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9s%20de%20la%20farine

Seed Physiology/Biochemistry. Seeds undergo discrete physiological stages during development, maturation, storage, and germination. The seed first dries to a dormant organism that is then rejuvenated by water during imbibition. Little is known concerning these important physiological transitions.
