English

Subject field(s)
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
DEF

A window consisting of vertically sliding sash which utilizes counterbalancing devices to allow the sash to be opened to any variable position between its fully open and fully closed limits.

OBS

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.

OBS

vertical sliding window: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick) in 1990.

Key term(s)
  • guillotine-window
  • vertical-sliding window

Domaine(s)
  • Ouvertures (Éléments du bâtiment)
DEF

Fenêtre dont le châssis glisse verticalement entre deux rainures et s'ouvre de bas en haut.

OBS

fenêtre à coulissement vertical : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques du Nouveau Brunswick en 1990.

Record 3 2010-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

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.

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Séparation par partage de phase dont l'efficacité est augmentée en rendant affine pour une biomolécule à purifier l'une des phases liquides. Le polymère ainsi modifié contrôlerait la répartition de la biomolécule au sein du système biophasique.

CONT

At the time the Vasa was raised, in 1961, there were no conventional techniques adequate to preserve such an enormous artifact.... While new methods were being worked on, the ship was enclosed in a large storage house.... The sprinkler system was the best solution. 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.

CONT

Le traitement de consolidation et de conservation du bois [...] fait intervenir des procédés complexes [...]. La [méthode] plus répandue, [...] consiste à imprégner le bois gorgé d'eau de polyéthylène glycol (PEG) [...] à l'aide d'une solution plus ou moins concentrée jusqu'à ce que le produit se substitue de façon satisfaisante à l'eau. En refroidissant, le PEG se solidifie et consolide le bois, tout en maintenant sa forme et son apparence. Cette méthode fut utilisée [...] en 1961 pour le traitement du Vasa [...]. Ne pouvant être démonté, l'imposant navire fut imprégné par un système d'arrosage automatique [...]. Le système d'arrosage automatique au PEG fut aussi utilisé en 1970 [...].
