English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
  • Oceanography
CONT

The aim of the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Mission(GOCE) Mission is to provide global and regional models of the Earth's gravity field and of the geoid, its reference equipotential surface, with high spatial resolution and accuracy.... In oceanography... it would contribute to the correction of a major deficiency which is the lack of an accurate and precise reference surface for the interpretation of the mean sea level as mapped by satellite altimetry.

CONT

L'EOEP-1 a permis d'obtenir de grands succès avec la mise au point de missions d'exploration de la Terre comme Cryosat, la Mission Gravité et circulation océanique en régime stable (GOCE), la Mission d'étude de l'humidité des sols et de la salinité des océans (SMOS) et le début de la mise en œuvre complète de la Mission d'étude de dynamique de l'atmosphère (ADM-Aeolus).

In this document, the drying period will be the time required for the rate of evolution of volatile compounds to decrease to a level such that steady-state concentrations in the enclosure or room will be acceptably low.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aménagement et équipements (Muséologie et Patrimoine)
CONT

Dans ce document, la période de séchage correspondra au temps nécessaire pour que diminue la concentration des composés volatils a un point tel que la concentration a l’équilibre dynamique dans l’enceinte ou la pièce atteigne un niveau suffisamment bas pour être acceptable.

Record 3 2010-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Fermentation vessel or bioreactor in which steady-state growth is maintained by providing the cells with a constant input of nutrients. The rate of growth can be regulated by the level of a specific nutrient and the dilution rate(rate of removal of organisms from the vessel) matched to the cell growth rate.

CONT

Both mathematical models of the action of a chemostat and experimental studies show that a single-stage chemostat of practical size cannot yield a high concentration of a product and low concentrations of unconsumed raw materials. The inefficiency is particularly great in the synthesis of products such as penicillin, which is a secondary metabolite: it is made by living cells but its synthesis does not arise in the course of the metabolism that keeps the cells alive and growing. It is characteristic of the industrial production of a secondary metabolite that the proliferation of the organism precedes the accumulation of the metabolite by a significant margin.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Type de réacteur dans lequel on contrôle la réaction par l'intermédiaire du flux entrant. On fixe la concentration d'une substance nutritive critique à une valeur telle que les autres substances nutritives se trouvent en excès. La substance nutritive critique impose alors une limite à la prolifération des micro-organismes.

CONT

Pour la production industrielle, il est nécessaire de réaliser des cultures de micro-organismes en très grandes quantités dans des récipients, adaptés aux différents types de fabrication, nommés fermenteurs, dont le volume peut atteindre plusieurs centaines de litres. Ils doivent être thermostatés avec précision. [...] La tendance actuelle est une automatisation de plus en plus poussée, avec un développement ininterrompu des cultures (technique du «chemostat»).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Routes of Administration (Pharmacology)
CONT

Transderm-V(scopolamine) transdermal therapeutic system is a circular flat unit designed for continuous release of scopolamine following application to an area of intact skin behind the ear... An initial priming dose of scopolamine, released from the adhesive layer of the system, saturates the skin binding sites for the drug and brings the plasma concentration to the required steady-state level. Subsequently, there is continuous controlled release of scopolamine, from the drug reservoir through the rate controlling membrane.
