Mesures d'atténuation. Bien que le projet Midwest se trouve dans une zone sismique stable, les structures et les pentes ont été conçues afin d'assurer une protection contre les événements sismiques. Des techniques de dynamitage contrôlé seront employées pour assurer la stabilité des mines à ciel ouvert et maintenir l'intégrité des parois. Des bermes de sécurité seront construites pour délimiter des plateaux de rétention, afin de retenir des matériaux pouvant tomber dans toutes les fosses actives. Les pentes des fosses actives seront surveillées afin d'en assurer la stabilité aux endroits susceptibles de connaître des glissements de pente ou des ruptures de versant. 1, record 1, French, - technique%20de%20dynamitage%20contr%C3%B4l%C3%A9

In aerodynamics, this property [(compressibility) ] of the air is manifested especially at high speeds(speeds approaching that of sound and higher speeds). Compressibility of the air about an aircraft may give rise to buffeting, aileron buzz, shifts in trim, and other phenomena not ordinarily encountered at low speeds, known generally as compressibility effects. 2, record 4, English, - compressibility%20effect

Speed-attitude correction is provided by the Mach trim compensation system. Mach trim compensation automatically provides forces to the control column(elevator) to compensate for nosedown pitching moments of the airplane at high Mach number. Control column position is effected by the Mach trim actuator installed at the lower part of the first officer's control column control mechanism. The actuator receives command signals from the stability augmentation computer. Mach number is computed from pitot and static air pressure input changes to the air data computer(ADC-1). The air data computer shapes the information and transmits it to the stability augmentation computer where it is further shaped and then transmitted to the actuator to command control column and elevator movement. 1, record 7, English, - Mach%20trim%20servo%20actuator
