By means of the emulsion chambers exposed at shallow depth underground, the energy spectrum and the zenith angle distribution are measured for high-energy showers induced by cosmic-ray muons.... The emulsion chamber is constituted by lead absorber and photosensitive layers, piled up alternately.

Bazlama is a very popular farm bread produced from a dough of flour, water, salt and starter dough. This is fermented, divided into 250-gram pieces and flattened into a disc less than 5 millimetres thick. The shaped dough piece is then given a first baking on a hot thick iron plate followed by a second baking on a plate positioned between two fires. This completes the baking of the dough, and also causes the loaf to puff. 1, record 7, English, - bazlama

Cette pâte est mise à fermenter, puis est divisée en pâtons de 250 grammes et aplatie en forme de disque de moins de 5 millimètres d'épaisseur. Ces pâtons, après avoir été mis en forme, subissent une première cuisson sur une épaisse plaque placée entre deux feux.

Insulated runner molds. A combination between a hot runner mold and a three-plate mold is called an insulated runner mold. The gating system is very similar to that of a three-plate mold except that the runners are very thick, at least 1 3/4in.(45mm) in diameter. There is no runner plate, and the backup plate and A plate are held together by latches. After the material is injected, the outside of the runner freezes but insulates the center, permitting the core to remain fluid at molding temperatures and act as a hot runner. 1, record 9, English, - insulated%20runner%20mold
