The wing butt rib is normally the heavily stressed rib section at the inboard end of the wing near the attachment point to the fuselage. Depending on its location and method of attachment, a butt rib may be called a bulkhead rib or a compression rib, if it is designed to receive compression loads that tend to force the wing spars together. 3, record 1, English, - root%20rib

Les micro-organismes du sol présentent en général une faible mobilité. Leur dispersion à partir du point d'introduction se fera dans le sens vertical essentiellement en fonction de la profondeur d'enracinement des plantes cultivées, et dans le sens horizontal, la dispersion sera liée aux transports mécaniques lors du travail du sol. Cela n'exclut pas qu'un nombre limité de cellules soient dispersées par le vent ou par la faune sur de longues distances. 4, record 3, French, - enracinement

Se entiende por arraigo el estado de una planta con relación al suelo que la sustenta, después de su plantación, en el que el sistema radical adquiere plena funcionalidad y desarrollo, es decir, es capaz de absorber agua y elementos nutritivos del suelo. No es lo mismo arraigo que enraizamiento, entendiéndose por este la aparición de nuevas raíces. Si una planta no arraiga, morirá cuando termine sus reservas. 2, record 3, Spanish, - enraizamiento
