Historically, in a guillotine window a peg was inserted through a hole in the movable sash and into a corresponding hole in the frame in order to block the open sash into place. As for the hung window, it used counterweights or a balancing system. Now, these differences tend to faze and the terms are used interchangeably. 5, record 2, English, - guillotine%20window

Purification technique based on the preferential distribution of a soluble affinity ligand-product complex to one of the phases in an aqueous polymer two-phase system. To achieve this, the affinity ligand is covalently attached to a carrier which is preferably the less polar polymer in the two-phase system, usually PEG(polyethylene glycol) 6000. 2, record 3, English, - affinity%20partitioning
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The affinity partitioning approach may also be used for the isolation and separation of enzymes. The partition of the constituents of an enzyme extract in an aqueous two phase system comprising either polyethylene glycol(PEG) and dextran or PEG and potassium phosphate may be attributed mainly to non-specific physicochemical interaction. 2, record 3, English, - affinity%20partitioning

To arrest the rotting, a soluble compound of seven parts boric acid and three parts of borax was mixed with fresh water and sprayed over the entire hull.... to stabilize the wood and keep it from shrinking and cracking, the ship was sprayed with a solution of polyethylene glycol(PEG) and fresh water. 1, record 4, English, - sprinkler%20system
