The behaviour of steel or composite joints under cyclic loading is characterized by hysteretic loops with progressive degradation of strength and stiffness that eventually leads to failure of the joint. A typical natural event that, for simplicity, is usually approximated by cyclic loading is an earthquake. Usually, seismic events provoke relatively high amplitudes of rotation in the joint area, so that steel repeatedly reaches the plastic range and the joint fails after a relatively small number of cycles. This typical behaviour is usually called oligocyclic fatigue, in close analogy with the behaviour of steel under repeated cyclic loading stressed into the plastic regime. 1, record 8, English, - oligocyclic%20fatigue

In the preparation of teeth for conventional dental composite bonded restorations, pit and fissure sealants, cementation of prosthetic restorations, porcelain veneers, and bonding of orthodontic appliances, it is necessary to prepare the desired tooth surface. The standard method is a technique whereby the cleaned and dried tooth surface is treated with an acidic etchant solution or gel. Application of the etchant for a short period of time(approximately one minute) on the tooth surface to be treated, followed by a thorough water rinse and air drying, produces a selective dissolution of the tooth surface to promote an effective bond with the subsequently applied restorative bonding agent or materials. The acid removes calcium salts which increases the size and number of the microspaces. The bonding agent fills these "tags" and is then polymerized to produce the mechanical interlocking of resin to tooth. 1, record 9, English, - etchant%20solution

Étape 2 : Il mélange la résine composite et la teint pour marier la couleur naturelle des dents. Étape 3 : Il applique la résine composite en plusieurs couches. Étape 4 : Chaque couche est durcie (ou polymérisée) à la lumière au fur et à mesure des applications.

Record number: 16, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cloud classification. A system... based on the system proposed by Luke Howard, a London pharmacist, in 1803. Howard divided clouds into three fundamental forms : stratus(sheet or layer clouds), cumulus(heaped-up clouds), and cirrus(fibrous or tufty clouds). The form nimbus was also added to indicate a rain cloud, but is now used only in composite forms, e. g. cumulonimbus.... Clouds are also classified into the height-based categories of low(up to 2 km), medium(2 km to 6 km), and high(above 6 km), with examples in each category being, respectively, cirrus, altocumulus, and stratus. The official International Classification scheme assigns a number to nine types of clouds. These are(ranging from high to low altitude types) :(0) cirrus,(1) cirrocumulus,(2) cirrostratus,(3) altocumulus,(4) altostratus,(5) nimbostratus,(6) stratocumulus,(7) stratus,(8) cumulus,(9) cumulonimbus. 3, record 16, English, - cloud%20classification

La première tentative d'une classification des nuages est due au célèbre naturaliste français Lamarck en 1802. [...] L'année suivante (1803), un Anglais, Luke Howard, publia une classification des nuages qui, elle, connut un grand succès et cependant Howard, aboutissait, dans l'ensemble, aux mêmes résultats que Lamarck. Mais au lieu d'utiliser des noms français pour désigner ses formes types, Howard introduisait les noms latins de Cirrus, cumulus et Stratus. 3, record 16, French, - classification%20des%20nuages
