La solution idéale serait un autobus à batterie qui se rechargerait à tous les 5 kilomètres environ à des stations de recharge rapide (moins d’une minute) pendant que les passagers montent à bord.

Record 2 2009-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
DEF

The manipulated, artificially created landscape of the face of the Earth, including farms, ranches, estates, roads, cities, gardens, parks, pastures, and other areas.

OBS

Man-made landscape is always an expression of society, culture, and local geography, and is traditionally the basic area of concern for the landscape architect. The cultural landscape may also be the larger, regional landscape in which a society traditionally finds its home, develops its myths, and imagines its future.

CONT

Combinations of the three main plant types--trees, shrubs, and groundcovers--are found everywhere in nature, but the lack of any one of them from the scene, especially in "hand-made" landscapes, can create a genuine sense of omission. This reaction suggests keeping the plant trio together in some form or other.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture paysagère
DEF

CONT

La géographie humaine, quant à elle, a de même sectorialisé l'appréhension des paysages humanisés, en études de l'habitat rural et en celle des structures agraires, par exemple, et, en milieu urbain, n'a pas semblé sensibilisée aux faits d'ordre paysagique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Arquitectura paisajista
CONT

Paisaje natural, paisaje humanizado. Muchas veces hemos leído que el paisaje natural es aquel que no ha sido modificado por el trabajo del hombre; mientras que el que si lo ha sido es humanizado para diferenciarlo del primero.

The electrical flying control system is based on two independent systems, the Elevator Aileron Computers(ELAC) and the Spoiler Elevator Computers(SEC). The Spoiler Elevator Computer System... consists of a trio of computers, which will produce commands in the roll axis by operating the two outer spoiler panels on each wing; speed-braking in flight by operating the three inner spoiler panels; lift-dumping after landing by raising all ten spoiler panels; stand-by pitch axis control in support of the ELAC by operating the elevators and automatic trim, also as a stand-by to the ELAC, by adjusting tailplane incidence.

Le système SEC [...] comporte trois calculateurs qui contrôlent la fonction roulis des quatre spoilers extérieurs, la fonction aérofrein au sol par le déploiement des dix spoilers, la fonction tangage en secours de l'ELAC par action sur la gouverne de profondeur, et enfin la fonction auto-trim, également en secours de l'ELAC, par action sur le stabilisateur horizontal.
