The responsibility of an ocean engineer is quite panoptic and among all the engineering sciences prevalent in today's times, the toughest and the most difficult one. To put it simply, ocean engineering extends from building dams and reservoirs in a micro level to planning, designing and executing structures, equipments and constructions that benefit not just humans but also the existence of marine life-forms at its zenith. 2, record 1, English, - ocean%20engineer

Le niveau de pression acoustique Lp est une mesure logarithmique du rapport entre un événement sonore d'amplitude p et le seuil d'audibilité p0, qui est exprimée en décibels (dB): Lp = 20 log (p/p0).

Even in a gravity gradient attitude, accelerations caused by crew movements, equipment operations, and occasional thruster firings can disrupt the quiescent low-gravity environment and may affect microgravity science experiments. Accelerations at particular frequencies may interrupt one type of experiment but have no effect on others. These accelerations are measured at fractions of Earth’s gravity; for instance, 10~ g is equal to 1/100,000 of the gravity on Earth. 3, record 4, English, - microgravity%20environment

Un environnement en microgravité offre aux scientifiques une occasion unique de contrôler les phénomènes liés à la gravité. De plus, en microgravité, le traitement sans contenant peut être pratiqué sur de plus gros échantillons, car les force acoustiques et électromagnétiques utilisées pour manipuler ne sont pas dominées par la gravité. 2, record 4, French, - environnement%20en%20microgravit%C3%A9
