The offload can be one of the most exciting and rewarding skills in the game of rugby union. The ability to deliver an accurate pass while in contact with the enemy is an art form in itself, and leads to high proportion of line break successes for the attacking side who can it execute well. The idea is that attacking play remains fluid and continuous just as the defence is preparing to stop and reset for another phase. The defenders think that the ball is momentarily "dead" after a tackle has been made and that there will be an opportunity to regroup. The offload shows unexpectedly that this will not be the case, and in that small moment there is a chink of light for the attack. 2, record 1, English, - offload

Amino acid(AA) analyses of barley are needed for accurate diet formulation and as a guide for line selection by plant breeders. At present analyses are done by wet chemistry which is slow, costly and produce chemical residues which end up in the water systems. Near Infra Red Spectroscopy(NIRS) technology has the potential to provide an accurate, clean, quick and cheap method for AA analysis.

L'utilisation de méthodes factorielles (modèles de simulation) pour prévoir les besoins en acides aminés (AA) permettra certainement d'évaluer de manière plus précise les besoins individuels des animaux [...] À mesure que nous alimenterons les porcs d'une manière mieux adaptée à leurs besoins, il sera de plus en plus important de déterminer avec exactitude la biodisponibilité des AA dans les aliments. Il est généralement accepté que l'essai sur la digestibilité iléale des AA fournit une estimation raisonnable de la biodisponibilité des AA dans les divers ingrédients. De plus, il y aurait lieu de formuler les régimes alimentaires en fonction de la digestibilité iléale réelle ou normalisée des AA. Contrairement à la digestibilité apparente des AA, la digestibilité iléale réelle des AA contenus dans les mélanges d'ingrédients alimentaires est additive (Nyachoti et coll., 1997a,b). Toutefois, en ce qui concerne les sources protéiques traitées thermiquement ou les ingrédients contenant de grandes quantités de composants non nutritifs, l'essai sur la digestibilité iléale est susceptible d'entraîner une surestimation de la biodisponibilité des AA. Dans le cas de la lysine par exemple, les acides aminés du groupe « E » peuvent facilement réagir avec des sucres réducteurs, ce qui les rend indisponibles (Gall, 1989). Pourtant, certains de ces composés dégagent de la lysine libre lorsqu'on les soumet à l'hydrolyse aux fins de l'analyse traditionnelle des AA, ce qui laisse entendre que cette lysine est disponible dans les aliments destinés à l'animal. 1, record 10, French, - analyse%20des%20AA

Air release chambers are installed ahead of any metering equipment to ensure accurate measurement of fuel flow. They may be installed in either the pumphouse or on the dispensing platform. They operate on the reduced flow velocity principle which separates and eliminates air from the fuel. As the fuel enters the air release chamber(the diameter of which is much greater than the diameter of the inlet to the air release body), the velocity of the flow is greatly reduced allowing an interval of time for the air to separate from the fuel. The air, being lighter than the liquid, rises to the top of the chamber, where it remains until a sufficient quantity has accumulated to lower the liquid level, causing the float to drop, which in turn opens the vent valve and allows the accumulated air to escape. In most cases the line from the air vent is returned to the storage or scavenger tank to prevent spraying fuel into the surrounding area in case of a malfunction of the air release chamber. 1, record 14, English, - air%20release%20chamber

Des chambres de désaération sont placées immédiatement en amont de tout dispositif de mesure, ceci afin d'assurer la précision des mesures de débit. Ces appareils peuvent être installés dans la station de pompage ou sur la plate-forme de distribution. Ils agissent par réduction de la vitesse d'écoulement, ce qui permet à l'air de se dissocier du produit pétrolier. Lorsque le produit entre dans la chambre (dont le diamètre du corps est de beaucoup supérieur à celui de l'orifice d'admission), sa vitesse d'écoulement diminue sensiblement. L'air, plus léger que le liquide, remonte à la surface, et y demeure jusqu'à ce qu'une quantité suffisante se soit accumulée; le flotteur, qui s'est abaissé en raison de la baisse proportionnelle du niveau du liquide, commande alors l'ouverture du purgeur qui permet à l'air de s'échapper. Dans la plupart des cas, une canalisation relie le purgeur au réservoir de stockage ou de reprise d'évacuation afin d'éviter toute dispersion de produit à l'extérieur en cas de mauvais fonctionnement de la chambre ou du purgeur. 1, record 14, French, - chambre%20de%20d%C3%A9sa%C3%A9ration

Where the aircraft is required to make a turn on the stand prior to stopping or after "break away", a turning line may be needed for the aircraft to follow. The primary purpose of this line is to limit the turning of aircraft within the designated area so as to keep aircraft clear of obstacles and to aid in accurate positioning of the aircraft. 1, record 15, English, - turning%20line

When the actual foundation condition does not meet the assumptions on which the stress chart is based, such as when the load is nonuniform or when the depths are too great for the chart, a reasonably accurate analysis may be had by the use of Saint-Venant's principle. This states that if a load at the surface is replaced by its static equivalent(the same total load and the same action line), the stresses deep down in the mass will not be changed. 1, record 18, English, - Saint%2DVenant%26rsquo%3Bs%20principle
