Two very different paths are pursued. One is a top-down strategy of miniaturizing current technologies, while the other is a bottom-up strategy of building ever-more-complex molecular devices atom by atom. Top-down approaches are good for producing structures with long-range order and for making macroscopic connections, while bottom-up approaches are best suited for assembly and establishing short-range order at nanoscale dimensions. The integration of top-down and bottom-up techniques is expected to eventually provide the best combination of tools for nanofabrication. Nanotechnology requires new tools for fabrication and measurement. 3, record 5, English, - nanofabrication

This study provides a taxonomic structure for the discourses which constitute institutional memory and the ways in which such memory structures identity of an institution and of people within an institution. It proposes the dimensions of written-oral, official-unofficial, and intentional-secondary, and discusses how these categories shape the landscape of memory, with particular attention to informal and formal oral narratives told over a long period of time, and their relation to materially preserved forms of memory. The social aspect of memory is remembering : for example, a file cabinet preserves some of a corporations’ written memories, but it does so only if people use it as a resource for remembering. Similarly a narrative functions in an institution only if it is regularly told, and has the potential to be transmitted to new tellers... 2, record 9, English, - institutional%20memory

Lors de la phase de descente, un treuil permet de rapprocher les MAP des pôles inférieur et supérieur pour diminuer le volume de l'enveloppe et ainsi maintenir une surpression constante.

Fischer, Brown, and Burton(1978; Burton, Brown, and Fischer, 1984) propose a paradigm for the design of optimal learning environments, which they call increasingly complex microworlds. The concept of microworlds created for educational purposes with the computer as a(universal simulator) is already the central theme of LOGO. Fischer et al. set out to formalize the notion of a succession of(microworlds) where the modifications at each step are meant to support learning. The idea is to start with a simplified world and to have a coach progressively add new dimensions of complexity that require an increasing mastery of basic skills. Fischer et al. present skiing instruction as a pedagogical success model that has made use of microworlds. Over the years, skiing instruction has become safer and surprisingly effective. According to the authors, the key to this success is the definition of progressive learning phases : instructors have combined technological advances with pedagogical cleverness to provide useful simplified versions of the skill. 1, record 18, English, - increasingly%20complex%20microworld
