In the disk sensitivity procedure small paper disks impregnated with the chemical under study are placed on the surface of an inoculated agar plate. The plate is then incubated until bacterial growth is observed. A zone of inhibition surrounding the disk, as evidenced by a clear area in the otherwise confluent bacterial growth, indicates that growth of the microorganism was inhibited by the chemical on the disk.... With the proper controls the disk sensitivity method is a highly satisfactory technique for determining sensitivity of microorganisms to chemical agents. 1, record 2, English, - disk%20sensitivity%20method

Le cheminement altimétrique consiste à déterminer successivement les cotes d'un cheminement planimétrique, par une suite de rayonnements. Les opérations altimétriques sont conduites en même temps que les opérations planimétriques. L'altitude du point de départ étant connue, on calcule de proche en proche les altitudes des différents sommets. Le cheminement aboutit à un point connu en altimétrie. 2, record 3, French, - cheminement%20altim%C3%A9trique

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 4, English, - anti%2Dclutter%20sea%20control
