ULTIMATE COMBINATION [9 records]

Record 1 2023-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of the Family
CONT

Authoritative parenting is often considered the ideal style for its combination of warmth and flexibility while still making it clear that the parents are in charge. Children of authoritative parents know what is expected of them. Their parents explain the reasons for the rules and the consequences for breaking them. Parents also listen to their child's opinions, but the parent remains the ultimate decision maker.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie de la famille
CONT

Le style parental démocratique correspond à des attitudes et des pratiques du parent qui sont à la fois sensibles aux besoins de l'enfant et affirmatives relativement aux exigences auxquelles l'enfant doit répondre.

It's the ultimate dream of every gamemaker. If you create a more realistic experience, players can feel inside the game. That's the idea behind the new TMX Force Feedback Racing Wheel for Xbox One and PC. The combination wheel and pedal system gives you 900 degrees of force feedback.

Record 3 2004-07-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
CONT

Soft, flexible Black Diamond climbing pants allow you to move freely. Hassle-free pull-on style with drawstring elastic waist and narrow tapered legs. Side seam pockets. Back hook-and-loop closure pocket.

CONT

Climbing trousers, constructed from a hardwearing lightweight fabric. The thermal quality makes them ideal for warming up, bouldering and rock climbing. The ultimate combination of durability warmth & comfort!

CONT

Read the paper, went to the shops where I managed to get myself some alpine climbing trousers from Decathlon. Made by Millet, they look like your standard baggy synthetic trousers, but they stretch a bit so they can be tighter without sacrificing mobility. A snip at 33 quid.

OBS

In the selection of pants, again looseness and comfort are of prime importance. For both hiking and climbing, trousers should never be too tight.

OBS

Be sure the trousers are roomy. They must be ample around the waist in order to accommodate a heavy sweater, shirt, and extra layer of wool, and still allow unrestricted movement.

OBS

Advantages and disadvantages of certain materials. Whipcord is made for laborers, postmen, milkmen, and such and will not get wet with the first raindrops. Corduroy, on the other hand, soaks up moisture too easily and is not very durable. Wool will remain warm even when drenched and is the best answer for outdoor wear. You may consider lederhosen, leather pants imported from the Alps. The knicker length variety, though expensive, are a good investment because rocks will not tear them. Non-waterproof nylon wind pants are useful to wear over other trousers in windy, frigid areas and when climbing extensively above timberline. Wind pants should be loose-fitting and have a drawstring around the ankles to prevent wind from blowing up the legs. Rain pants in waterproof fabric are of some value in wet, brushy areas, but in general the lack of ventilation makes these pants unsatisfactory. A light pair of cotton pants may be used as extras for hot weather, but are no substitute for wool pants in cold weather.

OBS

Terms usually used in the plural.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
CONT

La forme la plus pratique pour un pantalon de montagne est la forme knicker (forme courte s'arrêtant à 10 cm au-dessous du genou).

CONT

Pour le pantalon, je vais devoir en acheter un mais j'hésite entre un pantalon d'alpinisme et sur pantalon gore tex + bas en capilène.

OBS

Avantages et inconvénients de certains tissus. Le velours absorbe l'humidité, donc une fois mouillé sèche difficilement. Le meilleur tissu, car il est chaud, est ce qu'on appelle le drap de montagne, donc les draps de Bonneval, de Bagnes et de Bessans et le whipcord. Les pantalons peuvent être en gabardine légère pour les courses de rocher.

OBS

Le cuir est à déconseiller, car il durcit en séchant et blesse l'entre-jambe.

OBS

Le pantalon de laine est chaud, mais lourd.

Record 9 1985-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Lakes, rivers, and watersheds are the ultimate "collectors" of atmospheric pollution. Thus, one research approach has been to operate lakes and watersheds as large-scale, "calibrated" collectors, since the surface environment experiences a total loading, due to a combination of all deposition processes. This approach has led to establishing calibrated watersheds as monitoring sites which are combinations of streams, lakes, and plant communities under intensive measurement. In these watersheds, hydrologic weirs are set up in stream entering and leaving small study lakes, or settling pools.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Bassin versant ayant fait l'objet d'un étalonnage et pour lequel on peut mesurer avec exactitude toutes les substances qui y pénètrent ou qui en sortent de façon à obtenir des bilans précis de la circulation des substances.

CONT

Le rôle des bassins jaugés est essentiellement de quantifier les dépôts de polluants et la réaction des écosystèmes à ces dépôts, de façon à éventuellement prédire l'impact de différentes charges de polluants. C'est pourquoi une partie importante des ressources du TGDPA est consacrée au bilan ionique; c'est-à-dire à la quantification des dépôts acides, à l'étude de l'évolution des polluants dans l'écosystème et à l'analyse de l'effet quantitatif de ces polluants sur la qualité de l'eau.
