Le coffrage isolant Polycrete est composé de deux séries de panneaux symétriques et parallèles en polystyrène expansé de type 3 qui s'emboîtent les uns dans les autres gràce à des profilés de polymère en forme de «T». Cette double paroi est retenue par des tiges d'assemblage métalliques qui s'insèrent dans les profilés. La longueur des tiges détermine l'épaisseur du mur et, par conséquent, celle de la cavité où le béton sera coulé. Ces tiges d'assemblage servent aussi de support à l'acier d'armature. Une fois le béton mis en place, on obtient un mur «sandwich» porteur qui possède une résistance de loin supérieure aux structures conventionnelles. 4, record 4, French, - mur%2Dsandwich

In many countries, variety registration also requires proof of adaptation to certain growing conditions and a test of the variety's processing and use characteristics. These Value for Cultivation and Use(VCU) tests involve multi-locational testing, determination of yield and yield-components, such as disease resistance, in comparison to the already existing varieties. Depending on the crop, VCU tests include certain use characteristics, such as cooking time of legumes, baking quality of wheat and digestibility of fodder. 3, record 6, English, - value%20for%20cultivation%20and%20use
