In the United States, flu season usually occurs in the fall and winter. While influenza viruses spread year-round, most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February. The overall health impact(e. g., infections, hospitalizations, and deaths) of flu varies from season to season.  3, record 1, English, - flu%20season

La grippe est une infection des voies respiratoires qui se transmet très facilement. Elle est causée par le virus de l'influenza. Chaque année, la grippe circule au Québec et ailleurs dans le monde. Au Québec, elle est surtout présente de la fin de l'automne au début du printemps. La durée de la saison de la grippe peut varier. Ainsi, elle peut commencer plus ou moins tôt et durer plus ou moins longtemps selon les années.  4, record 1, French, - saison%20de%20la%20grippe

Since the beginning of our French colony, the habitants of New France created a rowdy tradition of getting together just before Lent to eat, drink and be merry. At this time, this intense period of revelry was already designated as the Carnival-a word of Italian origin meaning Mardi Gras. The custom of celebrating from the end of January until mid-February has long been popular. The first large winter Carnival in Québec City, the world's snow capital, took place in 1894. Often faced with winter's hardships, the city's population reinvented this popular tradition with a winter celebration that warmed up the hearts of all of it revellers. Interrupted by two wars, then the economic crisis of 1929, the Carnival was held sporadically until the second half of the century. In 1954, in the context of the economic development of the Old Capital, a group of business people relaunched the festivities. That year, Bonhomme was born and elected the event's representative. The first official edition of the Québec Winter Carnival took place in 1955. The Carnival snowballed into an undeniable manifestation for the entire Québec City population, and was an important vehicle for tourism and economical activity in the city.  1, record 2, English, - Qu%C3%A9bec%20Winter%20Carnival

Dès les débuts de la colonie française les habitants de la Nouvelle-France avaient pris l'habitude de se réunir pour fêter un bon coup, juste avant la période du carême. Déjà, à cette époque, le carnaval - un mot d'origine italienne qui signifie mardi gras - désignait cette période intense de célébrations. La tradition de fêter de la fin janvier jusqu'à la mi-février ne date pas d'hier. À Québec, dans la Capitale mondiale de la neige, le premier grand carnaval d'hiver est lancé en 1894. Ainsi, une population souvent éprouvée par les rigueurs hivernales, ranimait une tradition populaire et mettait sur pied une fête des neiges qui réchaufferait les cœurs. Interrompu par les deux guerres et la grande crise économique de 1929, le Carnaval resurgit sporadiquement jusqu'à la deuxième moitié du siècle. En 1954, dans une perspective de développement économique de la Vieille Capitale, un groupe de gens d'affaires relance la fête. Bonhomme naît en 1954 et est élu représentant de l'événement. La première édition du Carnaval d'hiver de Québec a lieu en 1955. Le Carnaval de Québec devient alors une manifestation incontournable pour la population de Québec, et un moteur de l'activité touristique hivernale de la ville.  1, record 2, French, - Carnaval%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec

A constant of great practical importance since it is equal to the substrate concentration required to reach half the maximum velocity. This constant of a substrate is therefore, a measure of the affinity of the enzyme for that substrate: the lower the constant, the higher the affinity. The constant possesses the unit gram molecule per liter (M) and it is independent of enzyme concentration. Kinetically, it is related to a number of rate constants. Values are usually in the range of 10-[supercript2]M to 10[Supercript 6)M.  3, record 3, English, - Km

A landmark paper has been published by Winter et al.(1982) on the redesigning of enzyme structure by site directed mutagenesis.... This is a method for systematically replacing(during biosynthesis) an amino acid at a particular site with another amino acid, and observing the consequences. In the quoted text, a reduction in enzymic activity was observed that was largely due to a lowered Michaelis constant(K_m) for the ATP required to join the tyrosine to the transfer RNA.  4, record 3, English, - Km

Greenhouse plastics affect tomato pollination by influencing bee activity and bee loss through the ventilation systems. There is a significant difference in bee loss among plastic types.... CT plastic, one of the less commonly used greenhouse plastics, experienced less bee loss than AT Duratherm, Patilux, and both AT Bee Poly and De Klerk together.... The likely explanation for these results is that under CT plastic, bees are less able to visually detect the open vents because of the relatively small contrast between the transmitted light and the light through the vents. Our spectrophotometry results... indicate that of the plastics tested, only CT plastic allows transmission of UV light. Because of this, fewer bees fly out of these greenhouses and die during the winter months.  1, record 5, English, - greenhouse%20plastic

New understandings in insect colour vision (Backhaus 1993) have suggested ways by which the visual target of the open vents (daylight with UV) ... versus the greenhouse roof and walls (attenuated UV) can be disguised by coloured transparent flaps or blocked by screening so that the bees are not attracted and can not escape.

Ice Dreams is a national Go for Green program that encourages the development and use of new and existing outdoor rinks in Canada. It provides opportunities for girls and boys of all ages to get active in the outdoors during winter by playing hockey or other games on frozen ponds and waterways, or backyard, neighbourhood and community rinks. The idea is to "rip the roof off winter" and create opportunities for unstructured play, healthy, outdoor physical activity and Ice Dreams is a component of Go for Green's Winter Green initiative.  2, record 6, English, - Ice%20Dreams

Les orages de chaleur et frontaux favorisent la formation de grésil et de grêle. Mais les situations venant de l'ouest et du nord, qui amènent de l'air froid polaire lorsque règne un temps pluvieux, peuvent aussi provoquer des précipitations, généralement de grésil. Un exemple en est représenté par les giboulées de mars et d'avril (averses de neige et de grésil). Le grésil et la grêle peuvent cependant fondre avant d'atteindre le sol, pendant leur trajet dans l'atmosphère, donnant alors de grosses gouttes de pluie à l'arrivée.  4, record 8, French, - giboul%C3%A9e%20d%27avril

In principle, the biological reactions in a mechanically aerated lagoon are essentially the same as those in an oxidation ditch, except during the winter.... An aerated lagoon is mixed and supplied with oxygen from the air, usually by a floating mechanical aerator, although field trials with different types of air diffusers located in the lagoon are being conducted. Since these lagoons are located outdoors, very little biological activity takes place in the winter....  1, record 9, English, - mechanically%20aerated%20lagoon
