CONT

The basic premise of a season pass follows the real world concept of a sporting season ticket, and gives gamers open access to time bound events and activities in a game's world. These frequently run for about 3 months before expiring, at which point a new season pass must be redeemed. With each season, developers offer fresh content, features and customisation options to incentivise renewal. This method of monetization is very effective as it means a game can continue earning revenue long past its initial release date. The concept has a long running association with DLC(downloadable content packs) release and can be seen as a refinement and serialisation of them.

DEF

Wind of foehn type blowing on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains.

CONT

Chinook is a Blackfoot word that translates to "snow eater", referring to, its ability to make winter snow packs vanish over a short time. The Chinook is a foehn wind; a generic term for all winds that have been warmed and dried by descent off a slope. The Chinook occurs over the front range of the Rocky Mountains and western plains of North America. They usually blow from the southwest to west and are quite strong, often 25-40 knots with gusts as high as 80 knots. Their effects are most strongly felt in southwestern Alberta where they funnel through the Crowsnest Pass before fanning out across southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

CONT

The chinook will affect the front ranges. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

Chinook est un mot amérindien qui signifie littéralement «mangeur de neige», une allusion à sa capacité de faire fondre rapidement des accumulations de neige durant l'hiver. Le chinook est un foehn, terme générique pour tous les vents qui ont été réchauffés et asséchés en descendant une pente. Les chinooks se produisent sur les chaînons frontaux des Rocheuses et l'ouest des plaines d'Amérique du Nord. Ils soufflent habituellement du sud-ouest ou de l'ouest et sont assez forts, souvent de 25 à 40 nœuds avec des rafales jusqu'à 80 nœuds. Leurs effets se font surtout sentir dans le sud-ouest de l'Alberta, où ils sont canalisés dans le col Crowsnest (pas du Nid-de-Corbeau) avant de se répandre dans le sud de l'Alberta et de la Saskatchewan.

In parts of the United States, real estate is customarily sold through a process known as an escrow closing. In such a closing, the buyer and seller do not meet face to face for an exchange of documents and consideration; rather, the purchaser deposits with the escrow agent the agreed purchase price and such other documents as may be required, while the seller deposits with the escrow agent the executed deed to the property and related documents. In addition, if financing by a lender is to be provided, the mortgage or deed of trust and its related instruments are also deposited with the escrow agent. When the agent has received all of the necessary documents and cash, it will consummate the transaction and title will pass to the purchaser. Between the time that a document or cash is deposited with the escrow agent and the transaction is consummated, the items deposited are considered to be "in escrow".("The Arnold Encyclopedia of Real Estate", 1978, p. 269)

White Pass and Yukon Railway, at 175 km long, was the steepest pitched railway in Canada. Work began in 1898, at the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, to provide transportation from Skagway, Alaska, to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Building of the narrow gauge railway was an extremely difficult engineering feat, requiring extensive blasting, tunnels and precarious bridging. Thirty-five of the 35 000 men who worked on construction were killed. The summit of White Pass was reached in February 1899 and the "last spike" was driven at Carcross on 29 July 1900. The gold was exhausted by the time work was complete, though the line struggled along carrying passengers and freight. The mining boom in the Yukon revived the railway, as lead-zinc was hauled from Faro, Mayo and Clinton Creek. The shutdown of the WP&Y in 1982, as a result of the collapse of the mining boom, deprived Whitehorse of some employment and its sea rail link.

Nowadays, "The Scenic White Pass and Yukon Route Railway of the World" is running for tourists from the cruising-ferry dock in Skagway, Alaska, to the White Pass, British Columbia, or to Carcross, Yukon Territory. The name "White Pass & Yukon Route Railway" appears on the tickets, leaflets and other products of the company.

D'une longueur de 175 km, il s'agissait du chemin de fer le plus escarpé au Canada. Sa construction débute en 1898, à l'apogée de la ruée vers l'or du Klondike, afin de relier Skagway, en Alaska, et Whitehorse, au Yukon. La construction de cette voie étroite est un véritable exploit d'ingénierie. Les travaux nécessitent d'importants dynamitages et la construction de tunnels et de pontages précaires. Trente-cinq des 35 000 hommes qui y sont engagés périssent sur le chantier. Le sommet du col White est atteint en février 1899 et le dernier crampon est enfoncé à Carcross le 29 juillet 1900, mais les réserves d'or de la région sont déjà épuisées. Le chemin de fer survit tout de même en transportant des voyageurs et des marchandises. L'essor minier au Yukon ravive la voie ferrée qui sert au transport du plomb et du zinc en provenance de Faro, Mayo et Clinton Creek. Le déclin de l'industrie minière entraîne la fermeture du White Pass and Yukon Railway en 1982 et prive Whitehorse d'un certain nombre d'emplois ainsi que de son lien entre transports maritime et ferroviaire.

OBS

De nos jours, la compagnie de chemin de fer opérant sous le nom de «The Scenic White Pass & Yukon Route Railway of the World» transporte des touristes depuis le quai des bateaux de croisière à Skagway (Alaska), jusqu'au col White (Colombie-Britannique) ou à Carcross (Territoire du Yukon). Le nom «White Pass & Yukon Route Railway» apparaît sur les billets, brochures et produits de la compagnie.

A sweep ramp provides the tuning voltage for a voltage-tuned oscillator and is simultaneously applied to the horizontal-deflection system of a cathode-ray-tube display. The local-oscillator frequency is mixed with the input signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is detected, filtered, and applied to the vertical deflection plates of the CRT [cathode-ray-tube].

CONT

The receiver has to have suitable pass band characteristics to deal with the pulse modulation side bands, and must be free from paralysis following reception of a large signal... Its output is rectified and amplified and applied to the cathode-ray tube display, either as a deflexion or an intensity modulation. The cathode-ray tube is also supplied with a range time base..., synchronized to the pulse transmission, and suitable calibration devices... are usually also necessary. The form of the display unit depends on the particular radar application, and on what coordinate or coordinates other than range are to be presented. For example, in the plan position indicator the time base starts from the centre of the tube and goes radically outwards in a direction depending on the azimuth of the beamed aerials(which sweeps continuously), and the signal is presented as a spot intensifier.

Contact Stabilization. Microorganisms consume organics in the contact tank. Raw wastewater flows into the contact tank where it is aerated and mixed with bacteria. Soluble materials pass through bacterial cell walls, while insoluble materials stick to the outside. Solids settle out later and are wasted from the system or returned to a stabilization tank. Microbes digest organics in the stabilization tank, and are then recycled back to the contact tank, because they need more food. Detention time is minimized, so the size of the contact tank can be smaller. Volume requirements for the stabilization tank are also smaller because the basin receives only concentrated return sludge, there is no incoming raw wastewater. Often no primary clarifier before the contact tank due to the rapid uptake of soluble and insoluble food.

Asset Accounting is a sub-ledger accounting module in Financial Accounting, in which all business activities for fixed assets are recorded. The Asset Accounting(FI-AA) component is used for managing and supervising fixed assets with SAP R/3 System. Financial Accounting serves as a subsidiary ledger to the FI General Ledger, providing detailed information on transactions involving fixed assets. As a result of the integration system, FI-AA transfers data directly to and from other systems i. e., it is possible to post from the Materials Management(MM) component directly to FI-AA. When an asset is purchased or produced in-house, it can directly post the invoice receipt or goods receipt, or the withdrawal from the warehouse, to assets in FI-AA. At the same time, it can pass on depreciation and interest directly to Financial Accounting(FI) and Cost Accounting(CO). From the Plant Maintenance(PM) component, it can settle maintenance activities that require capitalization to assets.

The line is then pressurized using the isolator Air Test Panel to control both the plug inflation and test section pressures. To pass the acceptance test, the sewer must retain a specified air pressure for a specific period of time. Failure to hold the pressure indicates that a leak is present.

CONT

Sewer Line Testing. Air Testing. A routine air test is performed to determine the integrity of the pipeline. A mandrel test is performed next to test for deflection.

A lengthwise separation of the wood that usually extends across the rings of annual growth and commonly results from stresses set up in wood during seasoning.

DEF

A defect found in logs that have been exposed to sun or wind for a long period of time. Sun dries out the wood, causing deep checks on the ends of the log. Heart check, caused by wind, is a radial split along the rays that pass through the center of the log. Weather check is found in logs cut from dead trees. Like sun and wind checks, weather checks are splits in the log, but they are likely to be deeper than the other two.

CONT

The roll-out, or running, pass is usually a short pass-five or six yards-and can be «thrown» into the flat easily. It is usually a true option run-pass which helps offset a strong pass rush from the inside. Although it doesn’t take a great passer to execute this play, the roll-out pass does require a considerable amount of time and practice to perfect. The quarterback sprints out at controlled speed, while holding the ball in a «ready position» and looks immediately to the area he is running toward.

CONT

The roll-out maneuver is used for plays hitting to the outside and on some passes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Football nord-américain
OBS

Dans le cas d'une passe à droite, avec le pied droit, le joueur exécute un pas de biais vers l'arrière et court vers la droite. Et vice-versa dans le cas d'une passe à gauche. Rapidement, il repère ses receveurs. Le lancer s'amorce alors que le pied correspondant ou bras lanceur frappe le sol. Il pivote les épaules en lançant le ballon.

OBS

Le quart-arrière a toujours l'option de courir avec le ballon si la défensive a beaucoup reculé pour la couverture de passe. L'action vers l'extérieur, le «roll-out pass», est utilisé seulement si une passe est effectuée, c'est pourquoi souvent on utilise «sprint-out» indépendamment s'il y a passe ou non car «roll-out pass» exige que le jeu soit à sa fin. En français, on utilise "passe hors l'aile" car ce jeu préconise une passe. Le quart peut couvrir mais ne le fera que si la couverture de passe défensive est bonne.

  • Technical Textiles

DEF

The movement by mechanical action or hydraulic flow of soil particles into the voids of a fabric and retention therein, thereby reducing the hydraulic conductivity of a geotextile.

CONT

Clogging, blocking and blinding. If the geotextile pore openings are slightly too small, then there will be insufficient initial wash-through of fine soil particles to promote the rapid formation of an efficient graded filter in the adjacent soil. Where the geotextile pore openings are even smaller, then there is a serious risk that either blinding, severe blocking or severe clogging will develop with time. Blocking is where soil particles resting on the surface of the geotextile, either totally or partially obstruct the pore openings.... Blinding is a special form of severe blocking, where the soil grading permits the suffusion of fine soil particles which are too large to pass through the geotextile.... Where the size of many of the soil particles is very close to that of the geotextile pore openings, then they are likely to enter the pores and become trapped within the geotextile. This can cause severe clogging which is most likely to arise in thick non-woven geotextiles with a complex pore structure.

Il existe deux risques majeurs de colmatage : le "clogging", qui est provoqué par la pénétration des particules à l'intérieur du géotextile (généralement les non-tissés) et donc réduit la perméabilité de ce dernier.

Linear proton accelerators. The design principle applied in linear accelerators for protons was originated by Luis Alvarez at Berkeley in 1946. It is based on the formation of standing electromagnetic waves in a long cylindrical metal tank, or cavity, as it is sometimes called. In the design that has been adopted, the electric field is parallel to the axis of the tank. Most of these accelerators operate at frequencies of about 200 MHz. During the time required for a proton to traverse one of these tanks, the accelerating electric fields undergo many reversal of direction. In Alvarez’ design, the decelerating effect of the field during the intervals when it opposes the motion of the particles is prevented by installing on the axis of the tank a number of "drift tubes".... The electric field is zero inside the drift tubes, and if their lengths are properly chosen, the protons cross the gap between adjacent drift tubes when the direction of the field produces acceleration and are shielded by the drift tubes when the field in the tank would decelerate them. The length of the drift tubes are proportional to the speeds of the particles that pass through them.

(...) ce n'est qu'avec le développement des générateurs de puissance radiofréquence (rf) que Luis W. Alvarez a été en mesure de proposer (...) la structure qui est encore utilisée aujourd'hui dans les versions modernes de l'accélérateur linéaire à protons. Une cavité résonnante cylindrique est excitée à une fréquence d'environ 200 MHz (...) Il s'agit d'une onde électromagnétique caractérisée par un champ magnétique perpendiculaire à la direction de propagation et un champ électrique possédant une composition parallèle à la direction de propagation. Pour que les protons ne soient soumis au champ électrique que pendant une phase accélératrice, des tubes de glissement, formant cage de Faraday pour les particules les traversant, sont disposés suivant l'axe de la cavité. (...) La longueur des tubes croît à mesure que la vitesse des protons augmente.
