Unlike a traditional stationary bike, air bikes are operated by both : foot pedals[;] handles that you push forward and pull back with your arms and shoulders[. ] Because of this two-prong motion, they require more core involvement to maintain balance when seated. Using an air bike over other stationary bikes can improve your posture and balance. The variable nature of the fan resistance makes for immediate and responsive changes based on how hard you’re working at any given time. 1, record 1, English, - air%20bike

L'équilibre est une notion clé de l'écologie. Une forêt, un sol qui se dégradent, un lac en cours d'eutrophisation, un fleuve qui se réchauffe, l'atmosphère dans laquelle la teneur en oxygène diminue ou dans laquelle le taux de gaz carbonique augmente, une faune à l'intérieur de laquelle une espèce se met brusquement à pulluler ne sont plus en équilibre. Tout équilibre naturel n'exclut pas les variations, mais il y a équilibre dans tous les cas d'autorégulation, ou encore de rétroaction négative, autrement dit lorsque le changement produit lui-même ce qui l'arrêtera, ou même ce qui rétablira l'état antérieur. 9, record 5, French, - %C3%A9quilibre

There are three general ways to investigate the dynamics of energy in nature. [The] broadest approach is ecosystem analysis, in which the amount of energy transferred between the consumer compartments in an ecosystem is quantified. Since the inputs and outputs of each compartment can be calculated, this approach makes it possible to draw up a balance sheet for energy flow. 1, record 6, English, - ecosystem%20analysis

Despite the fact that in real terms the U. S. current account deficit has improved significantly and the Japanese and German trade surpluses have fallen, the continued deterioration in the U. S. nominal current account balance has been a source of disappointment and confusion to markets. To some extent, the lack of progress in nominal terms was expected, due to the so-called "J-curve" phenomenon, whereby the effect of a depreciation in the U. S. dollar worsens the U. S. terms of trade such that it initially offsets the improving net flow of goods and services in volume terms. But the "J-curve" effect is short term and transitional in nature, and it cannot account entirely for the slow adjustment of the U. S. current account imbalance. 1, record 14, English, - %5C%22J%2Dcurve%5C%22%20phenomenon

Bien qu'en termes réels le déficit du compte courant des Etats-Unis se soit nettement amélioré et que les excédents commerciaux du Japon et de l'Allemagne aient diminué, la dégradation persistante de la balance courante américaine en termes nominaux a engendré déception et confusion sur les marchés. Dans une certaine mesure, on s'attendait à une absence de progrès en termes nominaux à cause du phénomène dit «courbe en J», par le jeu duquel une baisse du dollar américain entraîne une détérioration des termes de l'échange des Etats-Unis au point de compenser initialement l'amélioration du flux net de biens et de services en volume. Cependant, l'effet «courbe en J» est de courte durée et de nature passagère, et il ne peut expliquer à lui seul la lenteur de la correction du déséquilibre de la balance courante américaine. 1, record 14, French, - ph%C3%A9nom%C3%A8ne%20dit%20%C2%ABcourbe%20en%20J%C2%BB
