A process for reducing a magnetized material to a neutral state, that is, to a state when both the magnetic induction B and the magnetic field strength H are equal to zero.(...) The standard demagnetization process involves applying a magnetizing force above a critical value for the material used, and successively reversing H in direction as the value of H is steadily reduced to a value less than those to be used in subsequent experiments. If the final value of H is essentially zero, the specimen is demagnetized. 4, record 1, English, - demagnetization

Démagnétisation des têtes: Tout enregistrement provoque une certaine magnétisation permanente des guides de métal et des têtes qui, à la longue, si elles ne sont pas démagnétisées, peuvent endommager le ruban, en plus d'augmenter le chuintement. Pour ce faire, vous utilisez un électro-aimant spécial que vous passez lentement le long des pièces métalliques (guides, têtes, arbre) [...]. Coupez l'alimentation du secteur. Approchez le démagnétiseur lentement des parties à démagnétiser, laissez un temps en passant de bas en haut, puis retirer très, très lentement pour éviter une nouvelle magnétisation. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9magn%C3%A9tisation

The ice sheet is said to be in(dynamical) equilibrium if each column of ice gains as much as it loses. The mass balance integrated over the ice sheet must then be zero. The steady state concept is a theoretical concept, which will hardly ever be met because accumulation and ablation are highly variable on short time scales and the flow varies on much longer time scales.

Matric potential is the most important component in soil, but is more difficult to visualize. Water will not freely leave soil unless soil is very wet. This is because of adhesion and cohesion. Imagine placing a clump of dry soil on a table, then dropping a drop of water onto the clump of dry soil. If you elevate the soil off of the table, will the water leap out of it, dropping to the table? Of course not. It will stay in the soil, held by adhesion, or what we often call matric forces. The symbol for matric potential is [psi subscript m]. These values are negative or zero, but never positive, because this water is not free to move to the zero state.... The matric potential of a soil refers to the potential of the most easily removed molecule... 5, record 11, English, - capillary%20potential
