Subject field(s)
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
CONT

By employing varying combinations of colorants, tablets have been produced ... which not only are pleasing to the eye, but which are distinctive in appearance and capable of establishing positive product identification.

CONT

Colorants are used in the manufacture of chewable tablets for the following reasons : 1. To increase aesthetic appeal to the consumer. 2. To aid in product identification and differentiation. 3. To mask unappealing or nonuniform color of raw materials. 4. To complement and match the flavor used in the formulation. Colorants are available either as natural pigments or synthetic dyes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fabrication des produits pharmaceutiques
DEF

  • Waterproofing (Construction)
  • Construction Finishing
CONT

USG [U.S. Gypsum, a manufacturer of building materials] offers two types of Water-Managed Exterior Systems: Duroscreen Direct-Applied Exterior Finish Systems, and Insulscreen Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems. Both types of systems are suitable for use on residential and light commercial construction ...

CONT

Decorative mouldings adorn the exterior of buildings to provide aesthetic appeal. [Some] are used in conjunction with either an exterior wall cladding technology known as EIFS(exterior insulation finish systems) or with stucco exteriors. Most EIFS installations have the appearance of stucco.

CONT

Sophisticated modelling and measurement techniques developed by IRC [Institute for Research in Construction, National Research Council Canada] will someday be able to produce design guidelines for moisture control in wood-frame houses clad with any exterior finish system, in any climate .... The current research was undertaken [after] moisture damage occurred in the walls of ... houses constructed with Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) cladding. ... The IRC research demonstrated that an EIFS-clad, wood-frame, face-seal wall will not provide effective control or management of rain penetration, especially around windows and other openings, where it is difficult to maintain the continuity of the exterior skin.

OBS

Exterior insulation and finish systems include prefabricated systems, sometimes called panelized systems, which are pre-manufactured in a factory and then installed on the building.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Étanchéité (Construction)
  • Finitions (Construction)
CONT

L'IRC [Institut de recherche en construction, Conseil national de recherches du Canada] travaille à mettre au point des techniques complexes de modélisation et de mesure qui lui permettront un jour d'élaborer des lignes directrices pour assurer un meilleur contrôle de l'humidité dans les maisons à ossature de bois, peu importe le climat ou le système de finition extérieure utilisé. [...] Ce projet de recherche a été entrepris [pour élucider un problème d'humidité qui] a entraîné la détérioration précoce des murs de [...] maisons revêtues d'un système d'isolation par l'extérieur avec enduit mince (EIFS). [...] La recherche à l'IRC a démontré que les murs étanchéisés en surface dont l'ossature de bois est revêtue d'un système EIFS n'empêchent pas la pénétration de l'eau - particulièrement autour des fenêtres et des autres ouvertures, où il est plus difficile de maintenir la continuité de l'enveloppe extérieure.

CONT

Revêtement extérieur en gypse DensGlass [marque déposée] Gold. Panneau primaire extérieur non cartonné conçu pour les murs extérieurs, les plafonds et les soffites. Idéal pour les systèmes d'isolation par l'extérieur avec enduit mince (EIFS), la brique et les autres revêtements extérieurs.

DEF

... method developed by D. L. Tennant for calculating seasonal in-stream flow needs for fish.

CONT

Tennant flow method. The Tennant method is very simplistic and has received appeal in regions of British Columbia as a quick and easy-to-understand method of determining habitat and recreational suitability of stream habitat. The method is based on the assumption that flows that are satisfactory for needs of fish and other aquatic biota will also be sufficient for maintaining recreational and aesthetic qualities. Based upon empirical relationships and observations, Tennant suggests that minimum flows at any time of the year must be >10% of mean annual discharge. Below the 10% threshold, fish habitat and recreational value will be severely degraded.

OBS

Published in 1976, the method is based on seasonal percentages of the mean annual flow of a stream.

CONT

Plusieurs méthodes existent pour calculer le débit réservé d'un cours d'eau. [...] Parmi les méthodes hydrologiques, on retrouve la méthode de Tennant, celle de 25% du débit moyen annuel (DMA), la méthode du débit médian (Q50) mensuel, 90% du débit classé (Q90) et la méthode basée sur l'analyse statistique de fréquence des débits faibles (7Q10).
