The Dimension 3000 Scanning Probe Microscope(SPM) encompasses several techniques for studying surface properties of materials at the atomic to micron scale. It measures surface structure and produces images with three-dimensional information. It measures surface roughness and maps the surface based on atomic force, friction, magnetic field, relative stiffness, or electric field gradient. Typical applications : 1. Studying surface of optical components(especially mirrors) [;] 2. Mapping of magnetic properties of tapes[;] 3. Measuring surface pit depth and width. Mode of operation : An atomically sharp tip, held at the end of a cantilever, is scanned in a regular pattern across a surface. As the tip probes the surface, the interaction between the surface and tip is measured using a laser-based system. 3, record 6, English, - scanning%20probe%20microscope

On peut aussi calculer le rendement en farine à partir du blé conditionné propre, envoyé sur le premier broyeur : [...] Ce chiffre est très important pour le minotier parce qu'il le renseigne de façon précise sur le rendement de son moulin et sur les correctifs à apporter, s'il y a lieu. Pourvu que l'installation dispose de bascules à farine (pour peser le produit fini) et d'une bascule à blé, on peut calculer le rendement d'un blé conditionné propre à intervalles réguliers. La plupart des minotiers surveillent étroitement les résultats pour vérifier si le rendement en farine correspond à la quantité de blé passant dans le premier broyeur. 1, record 14, French, - bl%C3%A9%20conditionn%C3%A9%20propre

Les deux méthodes les plus importantes pour exprimer le rendement sont celles qui reposent sur le blé brut et sur le blé conditionné propre. La première est nécessaire pour vérifier le rapport entre le prix de la matière première et le prix de revient du produit fini.

There are several serious difficulties in including clouds in models. First, cloud properties are largely subgrid-scale. Even the most regular layered cloud systems have wide variations on a 100-km scale, and boundary-layer cumulus clouds can be of a scale less than 1 km.... Second, there is a wide variety of cloud types, each of whose radiative properties varies widely from cloud system to cloud system.... The third, and perhaps most serious difficulty, is that processes of cloud formation and cloud radiative properties have not been satisfactorily related observationally to other meteorological processes.... As a consequence of the limitations discussed above, the current approach of modellers is to make up some "cloud model" based on simple physical arguments, include this parameterization in a GCM simulation, and compare the resulting model cloud climatology with one or several observational climatologies. 3, record 17, English, - cloud%20model
