delayed fluorescence. Three types of delayed fluorescence are known : 1. E-type delayed fluorescence : The process in which the first excited singlet state becomes populated by a thermally activated radiationless transition from the first excited triplet state. Since in this case the populations of the singlet and triplet states are in thermal equilibrium, the lifetimes of delayed fluorescence and the concomitant phosphorescence are equal. 2. P-type delayed fluorescence : The process in which the first excited singlet state is populated by interaction of two molecules in the triplet state(triplet-triplet annihilation) thus producing one molecule in the excited singlet state. In this biphotonic process the lifetime of delayed fluorescence is half the value of the concomitant phosphorescence. 3. Recombination fluorescence : The first excited singlet state becomes populated by recombination of radical ions with electrons or by recombination of radical ions of opposite charge.  1, record 5, English, - delayed%20fluorescence

A molecule at room temperature normally resides in the ground state. The ground state is usually a singlet state... with all electrons paired. Electrons that occupy the same molecular orbital must be "paired", that is, have opposite spins. In a singlet state, the electrons are paired. If electrons have the same spin, they are "unpaired" and the molecule is in a triplet state. Singlet and triplet states refer to the multiplicity of the molecule.... The spacing of the vibrational levels and rotational levels in these higher electronic states gives rise to the absorption spectrum of the molecule.  4, record 6, English, - self%2Dabsorption

A hypnagogic hallucination is a byproduct of a quirk of the reticular activating system(RAS), the part of the brain which switches sleep paralysis on and off. A hypnagogic hallucination is, in fact, the functional opposite of sleepwalking-whereas in sleepwalking one is in a state of REM without sleep paralysis being switched on(and the REM consciousness is actually tuned into the real world, not into a dream as many erroneously believe), in a hypnagogic hallucination one is in a state of consciousness with sleep paralysis switched on(and the active consciousness is tuned into the dream state).  1, record 7, English, - hypnagogic%20hallucination

gimballed momentum wheel : Better attitude control and energy storage can be achieved by using a pair of counter-rotating micro wheels. This configuration enables micro-satellites to change their angular momentum and orientation with very little net change in stored energy. Likewise, energy can be extracted or added to a pair of wheels without changing the satellite's attitude. Power can be saved while using a regenerative brake state to decrease the speed, or this braking energy can be used to accelerate the other micro-wheel rotating in the opposite direction in a gimballed momentum wheel. Thus, it can sustain spacecraft with limited power during a short-term space mission.  2, record 9, English, - single%2Dgimballed%20momentum%20wheel

Flux de chaleur latente : On appelle chaleur latente l'énergie échangée lors d'un changement de phase d'un corps pur. Dans le système climatique, il s'agit toujours des changements d'états de l'eau. Il faut distinguer les 2 étapes suivantes : Évaporation à la surface des océans. Ce processus refroidit la surface océaniques et introduit de la vapeur d'eau dans l'atmosphère. Condensation dans les nuages. Lors de la convection, la pression partielle de la vapeur d'eau atteint progressivement la valeur de la pression de vapeur saturante. Il y a alors condensation en eau liquide et libération de chaleur qui réchauffe l'atmosphère. Le flux de chaleur latente entre la surface et l'atmosphère est donc associé à la quantité de vapeur d'eau introduite dans l'atmosphère. La chaleur ne sera libérée qu'ultérieurement lors de la condensation. D'où l'appellation de chaleur latente (qui se manifeste plus tard).  1, record 12, French, - flux%20de%20chaleur%20latente

Les flux énergétiques (en watts par mètre carré, moyennés sur le globe) et leurs transformations. Il faut aussi tenir compte des flux non radiatifs d'énergie. Le flux de chaleur latente (LE = 85 Wm^-2 de la surface vers l'atmosphère) correspond à l'évaporation E de l'eau à la surface du globe, et sa condensation dans l'atmosphère (essentiellement dans les nuages). Exprimé en termes énergétiques, ce flux est bien plus faible que les flux de rayonnement, mais l'eau de l'atmosphère joue un rôle central, à la fois pour l'effet parasol (de par les nuages) et pour l'effet de serre; et aussi, bien sûr, pour les précipitations (P=E).  2, record 12, French, - flux%20de%20chaleur%20latente

According to the psycho-analytic theory of dreams, [day's residues are] elements from the waking state of the day before which are found in the narrative of the dream and in the dreamer's free associations. They are connected, more or less distantly, to the unconscious wish that is fulfilled in the dream. Cases may be met with at any point between two extremes : cases where the presence of a particular day's residue appears to be motivated-in the first analysis at any rate-by a preoccupation or wish of the day before; and, at the opposite pole, cases where it is apparently insignificant daytime elements that are selected because of their being bound by association to the dream-wish.  2, record 14, English, - day%27s%20residues
