Water does most of the work in creating both landforms. However, a natural bridge spans a valley of erosion and is therefore produced by running water. A natural arch is formed by "holing through" of thin walls or fins mostly by weathering processes-processes that operate more rapidly in the presence of water.

Bridging strength above this layer appears good and its reactivity to a human trigger is not a major concern.

OBS

In avalanche forecasting, the concept of "bridging" refers to the point in time when the strong snow that overlies a weak layer becomes strong enough that it "bridges" over the weakness. The idea here is that when this point occurs, the strong snow will carry the weight of a person and prevent their force from penetrating through to the weak layer. The strong snow is the "bridge. "So then, bridging strength refers to the strength of the bridge.

OBS

bridging: The ability of a relatively stiff (strong) slab to spread increased load (like that of a person or group) over a wider area, making the onset of an avalanche less likely.

OBS

... when the term "bridging" is used it implies a weak layer underneath a stronger layer which is at least somewhat supportable. The question of whether the bridging is consistently strong enough to be safe to travel on is a difficult one.

OBS

Examples: A hard wind slab that exhibits high bridging strength. Hard slabs tend to have more bridging strength. The slabs above these weak layers vary in density and apparently the bridging strength is good. The bridging strength above this layer appears good.

PHR

The bridging strength of this thick layer, of the upper snowpack.

Dans les sources consultées, dans le domaine des avalanches, on fait appel à la transposition pour traduire «bridging strength», on obtient alors : neige, croûte ou couche de neige portante ou encore, manteau neigeux portant. Lorsque «bridging strength» est accompagné d'un qualificatif, il est alors possible de le traduire par portance + qualificatif : ainsi, on parlera de la bonne (ou faible) portance du manteau neigeux.

OBS

[...] on entend par croûte une couche superficielle durcie sur quelques centimètres (de 1 à 5 cm), dont la portance est faible, c'est-à-dire que la croûte casse sous le passage d'un skieur.

OBS

Manteau neigeux offrant une bonne portance : Manteau neigeux consolidé en surface et qui supporte le poids d'une personne.

CONT

Although the snowpack seems to be trending towards increasing strength, the deep instabilities of the early season have not completely disappeared. The midpack is settling into a bridging layer but in shallow locations it may still be possible to trigger the deep instabilities.

OBS

"Bridging layer" means that a layer has become thick and strong enough that it can provide a "bridge" over the weak layers underlying it. So weight applied on the surface will have a harder time penetrating through the strong "midpack" and triggering the weaker snow near the bottom. "Bridging" is impossible to quantify and if the bridge fails then the result is normally a very large avalanche. [Reference : Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada. ]

Analyse de la rupture d'une couche cohésive reposant sur une couche fragile. [...] Une avalanche de plaque résulte d'une rupture dans le manteau neigeux à l'interface entre une couche dure (couche supérieure) et une couche fragile.

OBS

Si la plaque est dure, c'est-à-dire de dureté élevée ou presque, on peut alors utiliser le terme «couche (de neige) dure». Par contre, si la plaque est tendre («plaque friable») ou si sa dureté exacte n'est pas connue, c'est-à-dire peut être comprise entre «faible» et «très élevée», alors, il est préférable d'utiliser «couche (de neige) d'une certaine cohésion».

OBS

Le terme «couche (de neige) cohésive» est assez peu utilisé en français car ce terme ne précise pas le type de cohésion qu'il y a au sein de la couche, et qui est un élément très important. De préférence, utiliser les termes «couche (de neige) dure» ou «couche (de neige) d'une certaine cohésion», selon le cas.

Plus la cohésion d'une couche de neige est importante, plus cette couche de neige est dure. A contrario, une neige sans ou à faible cohésion, si elle est sèche par exemple, est poudreuse.

A block or "plate" of starch gel is prepared, and the sample is applied in a narrow band(line) across the block about midway between the ends, which are contacted with electrodes through a connecting bridge. When current is passed through the cell, the different components of a mixture move with velocities that depend on their electric charges, their sizes, and their shapes. As electrophoresis proceeds, the negatively charged components migrate toward the anode and the positively charged components migrate toward the cathode. The result is a series of separated bands or lines of sample constituents, such as visualized by a stain.

OBS

Recently considerable progress has been made in assaying alleles, or variants, of some 15 genes that code for enzyme sysnthesis, which is readily detected by starch-gel electrophoresis.

Arming for the data wars. The news and data streaming endlessly through computers is a big business in its own right. Last year, the four main companies-Bloomberg, Bridge, Dow Jones and Reuters-together collected $4. 4 billion of sales for providing the information that lubricates the workings of the financial markets. What makes each service unique is the historical data it offers and the number-crunching software it provides for customers to analyse the data. If, say, a fund manager has a peculiar hunch that price swings in French shares might affect the way American municipal bonds fluctuate, he needs decades of prices and a sophisticated way to process them. A vendor that can provide him only two years of stock prices will not meet his needs. Although Reuters’ breadth of information remains unmatched, it has yet to master the art of supplying historical data packaged up with analytical software. For now, that market belongs to Bloomberg.

UV radiation at 254 nm from a low-pressure mercury lamp shines on the entrance of a flow cell and is transmitted through this sample cell and strikes the analytical prototube. Radiation from the source also is directed through a neutral-density filter, and then to the reference photocell. Current from these photocells is fed to log amplifiers, which generate an output linear with solute concentration. The output signal to the recorder normally is attenuated with a simple bridge network.

Fiber Length. Traditionally, the fiber length distribution or weighted average fiber length of a pulp sample has been determined either by microscopic examination of a representative number of fibers, by means of a special drainage grid, or by screen classification of a sample into different length fractions.... In the classification method, a dilute suspension of fibers is made to flow at high velocity parallel to screen slots, while a much slower velocity passes through the slots. In this way, the fibers are presented lengthwise to a series of selected screens with successively smaller mesh openings, and only the fibers short enough to bridge the openings pass into the next chamber. The pulp sample is typically divided into five length fractions.

for simulations and explanations, the bridge between global concepts and local component descriptions is provided by a topological search process through which components can determine their states(e. g., they can find out whether there is a conductive path between a port and a voltage source). This process is similar to envisioning in that it is triggered by components and roots simulation and causality in local information about component states. The difference is that the search is driven by domain-specific concepts like "conductive loop", which describe phenomena emerging from component interactions and influencing their states, and are thus reminiscent of processes à la QP theory. This combination allows explanations to articulate domaine principles beyond the functioning of a given device while still elucidating specific behaviors.
