Record 1 2013-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Transport
CONT

History field terminal-reservations.

CONT

Notice there are still no itinerary fields, but the computer has included an H field, meaning "history field. "The history field will show all flights that were confirmed but subsequently cancelled.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transport aérien
CONT

Remarquez qu'il n'y a toujours pas de zone itinéraire, mais l'ordinateur a affiché une zone H ou Historique qui indique tous les vols sur lesquels le client a déjà réservé puis annulé des places.

Record 2 2012-06-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
CONT

At Jasper Ridge, the butterflies thrived on three distinct patches of serpentine, none larger than a few football fields. The checkerspot extinctions show that even a protected area with the right soil and plants may not be enough to save a population. Weiss believes the extra saving factor is topoclimate. A "topoclimate" can be as large as a hillside, as small as a hummock : It's a location where the sun hits the ground at a certain angle on a certain day of the year.

Record 3 2009-09-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
CONT

The experiments on electron irradiation of yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide samples show the formation of strong elastic fields near interstitial dislocation loops. The fields increase with an increase in the loop radius and, when the loop radius reaches a certain critical value, the loops became unstable due to the beginning of plastic deformation and the formation of a dislocation network.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Semi-conducteurs (Électronique)
CONT

Durcissement et fragilisation intragranulaire sous irradiation des aciers austénitiques [...] Selon la température d'irradiation, les obstacles microstructuraux intragranulaires suivants sont observés [...] boucles de dislocations interstitielles, fautées, sessiles.

Record 4 2005-04-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geological Research and Exploration
  • Geological Prospecting
DEF

The attempted employment of radioactivity measuring device to detect directly the presence of oil.

OBS

This method makes possible the recognition of hidden faults and the preparation of structural and areal maps.

OBS

Soil and gas analysis methods are based on the determination of the content of methane and heavier paraffin hydrocarbons of the soil near the surface, and they have indicated some oil fields by a "halo" surrounding the producing areas. Radioactivity surveys show the similar effects, but their main application is in locating radioactive materials and in tracing fault lines.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherches et prospections géologiques
  • Prospection géologique
DEF

Méthode qui, par la mesure du rayonnement gamma au-dessus des affleurements, permet d'obtenir des informations sur la géologie ou sur la présence de minerais radioactifs. [D'après le Manuel du prospecteur minier, Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières, 1981].

CONT

Radiométrie : la mesure des propriétés électriques ou radioactives du sol pour la prospection pétrolière est une méthode plus récente. La présence d'hydrocarbures dans une roche réservoir se traduit par des anomalies de radioactivité que l'on décèle en surface au compteur Geiger-Müller : en mesurant suivant le quadrillage habituel l'intensité du rayonnement gamma, on arrive à dresser une carte des zones où les radiations sont soit supérieures, soit inférieures à la normale, ce qui se traduit par un «halo» entourant et délimitant chaque point singulier géologique.
