[A] snowpack test that involves drawing the back edge of a snow saw up the length of a known weak layer in a column of snow. 3, record 1, English, - propagation%20saw%20test
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
During the test, the weak layer is monitored and the [propagation saw] test is halted the moment it begins to independently propagate the fracture being initiated by the saw. The results of the test give a point observation of a weak layer's tendency to propagate a fracture once it has been initiated. 3, record 1, English, - propagation%20saw%20test

Regarding material characterization, most work is centered around laboratory testing and adapting the many existing test methods for textiles to construction use tests.... An example [of new techniques] is Rollins work with an image analyzer to characterize fabric as to the size and shape of the openings and details of clogging or blinding of the fabrics. Crack propagation in fabrics is also being studied on a fracture mechanics basis, indicating that many tools common to other areas are being used in fabric problems. 1, record 4, English, - material%20characterization

Theoretical studies have shown the potential scientific value of multi-spacecraft radio tomographic imaging of the magnetosphere. The <10 RE WIND perigee passes during August 2000 afforded a unique opportunity to test and verify the capabilities of radio tomography by measuring interspacecraft electromagnetic wave propagation parameters using the Radio Plasma Imager(RPI) on IMAGE as the transmitter and the WAVES instrument on WIND as the receiver....

After the individual mother vine selection scheme was introduced, only one vine with top performance was selected for propagation. With this individual mother vine selection system for reconstructing vineyards, average must yields in the German wine industry have increased from 3, 000 to 10, 400 L/ha in the past 100 years without altering wine quality. The individual mother vine selection scheme in Germany is a complex set of observations and replicated yield and quality test requiring 20 years to complete. 1, record 7, English, - mother%20vine
