Brick training is a method of practicing more than one discipline back to back in a single training session.... An example of brick training is completing a bike training session followed immediately by a run.... Whilst this method of training is typically used to prepare [the] body for a triathlon, it can also be used for an all-round body workout... 2, record 1, English, - brick%20training

Le moulage à la main consiste tout d'abord à appliquer sur la surface du moule un agent de démoulage, et ensuite une couche de gel servant au finissage superficiel de l'article; on étend ensuite une couche de renfort vitreux que l'on imprégne à la main en versant dessus de la résine catalysée. On laisse polymériser, puis on applique une couche successive jusqu'à ce que l'épaisseur désirée soit atteinte. 4, record 2, French, - moulage%20%C3%A0%20la%20main

The rate of a particular enzyme-catalysed reaction can often be measured in a number of ways but there is normally one method which is more convenient than the others... The quantitative assay of enzyme activity is carried out most quickly and conveniently when the substrate or the product is colored or absorbs light in the ultraviolet region because the rate of appearance or disappearance of a light-absorbing product or substrate can be followed with a spectrophotometer, giving a continuous record of the progress of the reaction on a strip chart... Enzyme catalysed reactions can be monitored spectrophotometrically, as many of the substrates or products of enzymes absorb visible or non-visible light. This is the commonest and simplest method of assaying enzymes. 2, record 3, English, - assay%20of%20enzyme%20activity

In the preparation of teeth for conventional dental composite bonded restorations, pit and fissure sealants, cementation of prosthetic restorations, porcelain veneers, and bonding of orthodontic appliances, it is necessary to prepare the desired tooth surface. The standard method is a technique whereby the cleaned and dried tooth surface is treated with an acidic etchant solution or gel. Application of the etchant for a short period of time(approximately one minute) on the tooth surface to be treated, followed by a thorough water rinse and air drying, produces a selective dissolution of the tooth surface to promote an effective bond with the subsequently applied restorative bonding agent or materials. The acid removes calcium salts which increases the size and number of the microspaces. The bonding agent fills these "tags" and is then polymerized to produce the mechanical interlocking of resin to tooth. 1, record 4, English, - etchant%20solution

Le mordançage permet de réparer rapidement et sans douleur les dents. On applique sur la dent du plastique en pâte, appelé résine composite, qui durcit à la lumière. [...] La procédure : Étape 1 : Votre dentiste applique sur la dent une légère solution de mordançage qui rendra l'émail rugueux et facilitera l'adhésion de la résine composite. Étape 2 : Il mélange la résine composite et la teint pour marier la couleur naturelle des dents. Étape 3 : Il applique la résine composite en plusieurs couches. Étape 4 : Chaque couche est durcie (ou polymérisée) à la lumière au fur et à mesure des applications. Étape 5 : Quand la dernière couche a durci, la résine est modelée et polie pour que la dent retrouve son apparence naturelle. 1, record 4, French, - solution%20de%20mordan%C3%A7age

One method used to assess the effect of ions on protein conformation is to measure the melting temperature(Tm) which is the midpoint of the reversible folding... unfolding transformation or order=disorder transformation. It can be illustrated by the thermally induced conversion of collagen from the triple helical order form to the disordered random coil conformation where Tm is the temperature at which the helical and the coil forms are equally stable. Tm decreases by about 16[ degrees c] per mole if calcium chloride is added and is approximately linear with molarity. The transformation can be followed by a plot of change in optical rotation against temperature. 3, record 5, English, - melting%20temperature
