In China, where adulteration has occurred, water has been added to raw milk to increase its volume. As a result of this dilution the milk has a lower protein concentration. Companies using the milk for further production(e. g. of powdered infant formula) normally check the protein level through a test measuring nitrogen content. The addition of melamine increases the nitrogen content of the milk and therefore its apparent protein content.

CONT

When the aircraft gets on the ground an external check has to be made to ensure the plane is sound and capable of flight. A bonding check most definitely will be done to ensure that none of the bonding strips were burnt through. Bonding strips are just strands of braided conductive material that allows the charges that are carried by the aircraft(due mainly to friction with the moving airstream) to equalize throughout the aircraft. In any event what should happen is that the current from the lightening should pass throught the structure, through the bonding strips and be discharged into the atmosphere through the static wicks that are on the trailing edge of the wing tips and rudder.

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Nuclear Science and Technology
CONT

In the homogeneous equilibrium model (HEM) one assumes that the velocity, temperature and pressure between the phases or components are equal.

OBS

This assumption is based on the belief that differences in these three potential variables(and chemical potential if chemical reactions are considered) will promote momentum, energy, and mass transfer between the phases rapidly enough so that equilibrium is reached. For example, when one phase is finely dispersed in another phase generating large interfacial area, under certain circumstances this assumption can be made; e. g., bubbly flow of air in water or steam in water at high pressures. The resulting equations resemble those for a pseudo-fluid with mixture properties and an equation of state which links the phases to obtain these mixture thermodynamic properties. Whenever the HEM model is used it is advisable to check the validity of the equilibrium assumptions by using more accurate theoretical models for comparison. For example, rapid acceleration or pressure changes cannot be always accurately modelled with the HEM model; i. e., discharge of flashing vapor-liquid mixtures, or shock wave propagation through a multiphase medium. This is especially true when the pressure change is large when compared to the ambient pressure, or any of the driving potentials are large relative to their reference values.

Les écoulements à direction privilégiée peuvent soit être considérés comme monodimensionnels, soit conduire à des équations simplifiées en ne considérant que les termes prédominants. Le modèle le plus simple revient à homogénéiser les deux phases en considérant un fluide dont les propriétés physiques sont déterminées par le taux de présence des deux phases. En écoulement à direction privilégiée (vertical ascendant), les deux phases étant en équilibre thermodynamique et mécanique, le modèle homogène à l'équilibre (HEM) se révèle satisfaisant et particulièrement utile. À partir de ce modèle, on peut introduire des effets de glissement ou de déséquilibre thermique (apparition de vapeur lorsque le fluide n'est pas encore à saturation).

Computer information service, operated under authorization of the SEC, [Securities Exchange Commission], to which the theft or misplacement of securities must be reported. As such, the NCIC can be used to check the validity of ownership of securities offered for sale. For example, a person comes to a broker-dealer and wants to sell 2, 000 shares of IBM.

CONT

Closed circuit SCBA... Compressed or liquid oxygen type. Equipped with a facepiece or mouthpiece and nose clamp. High-pressure oxygen from a gas cylinder passes through a high-pressure reducing valve and, in some designs, through a low-pressure admission valve to a breathing bag or container. Liquid oxygen is converted to low-pressure gaseous oxygen and delivered to the breathing bag. The wearer inhales from the bag, through a corrugated tube connected to a mouthpiece or facepiece and a one-way check valve. Exhaled air passes through another check valve and tube into a container of carbon-dioxide removing chemical and reenters the breathing bag. Make-up oxygen enters the bag continuously or as the bag deflates sufficiently to actuate an admission valve.

a system of identification (based on digitized light patterns) designed to make a product difficult to fake or at least easily distinguishable from knockoffs.

CONT

Light patterns : A Los Angeles-based company, Light Signatures, Inc., creates its fingerprints by extracting random patterns inherent within the product itself. A computerized processor passes a high-intensity light beam through a paper label to be affixed to merchandise. The processor captures a picture of the tangled web of fibers in the paper, digitizes it and converts it into a number, which is printed on the label. Forgers can copy the numbers on the labels, but they can’t match the code to the fiber pattern. To check suspect goods, a manufacturer sends the labels back to Light Signatures, which compares their optical fingerprints to the numbered images. If the two don’t match, the labels-and probably the goods-are fake.

DEF

A lengthwise separation of the wood that usually extends across the rings of annual growth and commonly results from stresses set up in wood during seasoning.

DEF

A defect found in logs that have been exposed to sun or wind for a long period of time. Sun dries out the wood, causing deep checks on the ends of the log. Heart check, caused by wind, is a radial split along the rays that pass through the center of the log. Weather check is found in logs cut from dead trees. Like sun and wind checks, weather checks are splits in the log, but they are likely to be deeper than the other two.

Accountability out is something different. It was defined in our Round Table as the sense of responsibility that one feels to the law, or to one's sense of personal or professional ethics. Accountability in this sense is a check on behaviour that is imposed either externally(i. e., through obligations flowing from laws or regulations) or internally(i. e, through a sense of personal obligation to abide by a self-imposed standard of conduct). This sense of accountability, if that is not stretching the term too far, is also familiar to anyone who works within an institutional framework and, indeed, is fundamental to any broader account of law and morality.

CONT

Outward accountability, in the sense that scientists and others involved in the project feel their own sense of obligation to the standards of their professional community and to the laws and rules governing the project as a whole.

L'obligation de rendre compte vers l'extérieur est une notion différente : on l'a définie lors de la table ronde comme étant le sens de la responsabilité que l'on éprouve envers la loi, ou envers sa propre morale personnelle ou professionnelle. L'obligation de rendre compte, comprise dans ce sens, est un contrôle du comportement qui est imposé soit de l'extérieur (c.-à-d. par les obligations découlant des lois et des règlements), soit de l'intérieur (c.-à-d. par un sentiment d'obligation personnelle de se conformer à une norme de conduite que l'on s'impose à soi-même). Cette variante de la faculté d'être comptable est également familière à quiconque travaille dans un cadre institutionnel et elle est en fait essentielle à toute expression plus large de la loi et de la moralité.
