Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
CONT

Infected cucurbit plants initially show a chlorotic(yellow) spotting, which eventually develops into a striking interveinal chlorosis(yellowing) in which the veins remain more or less green but the rest of the leaf turns bright yellow. Leaves will often roll upward and become brittle. Fruit on infected plants may appear normal but often have reduced levels of sugars; this results in poor marketability and economic loss. Symptoms of Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus infection can be confused with abiotic factors, such as nutrient deficiency.

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Planning
  • Road Design
CONT

Every time it snows, vast sections of city streets remain covered by snow long after plows and moving cars have cleared the travel lanes. These leftover spaces are called "sneckdowns, "and they show where sidewalks or medians could replace roads without any loss to car drivers.

CONT

The term sneckdown is a portmanteau of "snow" and "neckdown," the latter being another term for sidewalk curb extensions. So it literally means a sidewalk extension created by snow.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aménagement urbain

Chaque bordée de neige permet d'observer l'apparition de zones entre la voie empruntée par les voitures et l'espace piétonnier. Des urbanistes et architectes travaillent pour mieux utiliser cet espace qu'on appelle «sneckdown» [en anglais] ou «améneigement» [...] Une fois le chasse-neige passé, il s'agit des bancs qui ne gênent pas la circulation automobile. Ils [permettent] cependant [de repérer] des espaces inutilisés [...] il faut s'en servir comme un indicateur de lieux qui pourraient être transformés pour rendre la ville meilleure, plus belle et plus agréable pour la cohabitation piétons-véhicules.

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
  • Electrical Measuring Equipment
DEF

The value of frequency in accordance with which the relevant performance of the meter is fixed.

CONT

[In tabulating a frequency-response measurement, inspection] of the attenuator loss indicates that at frequencies above 6000 Hz, the gain of the amplifier must fall off, because less attenuator loss is required to maintain a constant level at the receive meter. At the low frequencies, the attenuator gain must rise... Keeping the above facts in mind, the attenuator loss may now be converted to a reference frequency to show the rise and fall of the frequency characteristic above and below the reference frequency.

[...] Le système de pesée est constitué par un fléau horizontal à suspension funiculaire. L'enregistrement graphique se fait, suivant le type d'appareil, soit par transmission électro-mécanique, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un suiveur de spot. Le dispositif de chauffage est constitué par un four électrique à réglage automatique permettant de suivre une loi de chauffe donnée a priori. Les essais, réalisés généralement avec une vitesse de chauffe de 150 °C/h jusqu'à la température finale de 1 000 °C environ, sont effectués en atmosphère oxygène, le débit étant de l'ordre de 0,1 1/mm, pour oxyder les matières organiques et la pyrite éventuellement présentes.
