PhacoAspiration is the use of the aspiration mode to capture a piece of the nuclear material, manipulate it into an area, the so-called zone of safety that people talk about in the center of the pupil, and then using very low emulsification powers and levels to remove that segment of the nucleus in a very slow and very controlled fashion. 1, record 1, English, - zone%20of%20safety

For orbits tilted... and having altitudes of a few hundred miles, this oddity, called the South Atlantic Anomaly(SAA) becomes important, because spacecraft in those orbits periodically pass through that zone of reduced natural shielding and thus spend a few minutes during each passage exposed to higher particle flux than outside it. 2, record 5, English, - South%20Atlantic%20anomaly

La anomalía del Atlántico Sur (AAS), se refiere a una región en el sur del océano Atlántico donde los cinturones de radiación Van Allen [se] encuentran a menos de 500 kilómetros de la Tierra, estos cinturones normalmente se encuentran ubicados entre los 1.000 y los 5.000 kilómetros, culpa de una depresión en la intensidad del campo magnético terrestre, se estima que en esta zona el mismo tiene valores inferiores a la mitad del promedio del planeta lo que implica una zona más vulnerable a las radiaciones cósmicas nocivas. Se cree que esto se debe al hecho de que el centro del campo magnético de la Tierra está desviado de su centro geográfico. 1, record 5, Spanish, - anomal%C3%ADa%20del%20Atl%C3%A1ntico%20Sur

The ocean basins are characterized by a central ridge structure that divides the basin about in half. This midoceanic ridge consists of submarine hills that rise gradually to a rugged central zone. Precisely in the center of the ridge, at its highest point, is the axial rift, which is a narrow, trench-like feature. The location and form of this rift suggest that the crust is being pulled apart along the line of the rift. The midoceanic ridge and its principal branches can be traced through the ocean basins for a total distance of about 60, 000 km(about 37, 000 mi). 9, record 10, English, - mid%2Doceanic%20ridge

The space between these diverging plates is filled with molten rocks (magma) from below. Contact with seawater cools the magma, which quickly solidifies, forming new oceanic lithosphere.

The anti-clutter sea control is often referred to as STC(Sensitivity Time Control) which decreases the amplification of the receiver immediately after a radar pulse is transmitted, and progressively increases the sensitivity as the range increases. A common mistake is to over adjust the A/C SEA control so that the surface clutter is completely removed. By rotating the control fully clockwise, you see how dangerous this can be; a dark zone is created near the center of the screen and close-in targets can be lost. This dark zone is even more dangerous if the gain has not been properly adjusted. Always leave a little surface clutter visible on the screen. If no surface clutter is observed(on very calm water), set the control at the fully counterclockwise position. 3, record 13, English, - anti%2Dclutter%20sea%20control

Drip Irrigation.... Water is delivered in small quantities under low pressure directly to... the root zone of the plants. You’ll need 1/2 inch polyethylene header pipe, and a roll of thin tape-like porous tubing. The header pipe connects to a garden hose and routes water through the garden. The pipe is placed either down the center or along one end of the garden. Small puncture holes are then made with a screwdriver into the header pipe at intervals corresponding to garden row. Eight-to ten-inch pieces of rubber connecting hose are then inserted into these holes. The other end of the connecting hose attaches to a length of porous tape. This tape is rolled out along each vegetable bed and cut to the same length as the row. Then end of the tape is then crimped to prevent water loss when the system is in use. Porous irrigation tape is best placed about three to four inches away from the base of the plants. 1, record 16, English, - porous%20irrigation%20tape
