The set point theory [is] arguably the most influential and debated theory of body weight control. It suggests that like temperature in a room controlled by a thermostat, body weight(or body fat) is controlled by an equivalent device(ponderostat, adipostat) residing in the hypothalamus. Borrowing from the engineering vocabulary, this device receives feedback input from the controlled parameter(room temperature, body weight or body fat), and generates an error signal in a comparator if this feedback signal is deviating from a preset reference value(set point). The error signal is used to turn up or down any mechanisms that determine the level of the controlled parameter(heat production or dissipation in the case of room temperature, metabolizable energy-in or energy lost in the case of body weight/adiposity). 4, record 1, English, - ponderostat

L'hypothalamus joue un rôle central dans le contrôle, voire la régulation des réserves énergétiques. C'est le site d'intégration d'un ensemble de mécanismes régulateurs qui intervient pour satisfaire la «valeur de consigne» d'un système réglant que l'on désigne sous le nom de «pondérostat» ou «adipostat». On peut donc considérer que toute déviation pathologique ou pathogène des réserves énergétiques implique cette structure centrale. 2, record 1, French, - pond%C3%A9rostat

At selected locations in the U. S. Lab(9 ISPRs-International Standard Payload Racks) and the [Japanese Experiment Module-JEM](5 ISPRs), a low-temperature water loop(0. 6-10 °C or 33-50 °F) is provided via a 1. 3 cm(0. 5 in.) line with a quick-disconnect. The maximum return temperature on this loop is 21 °C(70 °F). A pressure drop of 40 kPa(5. 8 psid) is allowed across the inlet and outlet of both water loop interfaces. Payloads can also dissipate small amounts of heat into the cabin air. Depending on the temperature conditions set by the crew, a minimum of 500 W can be dissipated into both the U. S. Lab and Columbus(complement of all payloads within the module). Negotiations are underway with Japan on the allowable heat dissipation into the JEM. 2, record 2, English, - low%2Dtemperature%20water%20loop

Soft rime is a white ice deposition that forms when the water droplets in light freezing fog or mist freeze to the outer surfaces of objects, with calm or light wind... Soft rime formations have the appearance of white ice needles and scales; they are fragile and can be easily shaken off objects. Factors that favour soft rime are small drop size, slow accretion of liquid water, high degree of supercooling, and fast dissipation of latent heat of fusion. 2, record 4, English, - soft%20rime

The term "solid state" refers to the fact that light in an LED is emitted from a solid object(a block of semiconductor) rather than from a vacuum or gas tube, as is the case in traditional incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent lamps. Unlike traditional lighting, however, SSL creates visible light with virtually no heat or parasitic energy dissipation. In addition, its solid-state nature provides for greater resistance to shock, vibration, and wear, thereby increasing its lifespan significantly. 3, record 8, English, - solid%2Dstate%20lighting

Radiative heat rejection(i. e., heat dissipation) is necessary for some Cassini spacecraft components, and this is accomplished by thermal louvers. The thermal louver assemblies provide thermostatically positioned, low-emissivity blades located over a high-emissivity radiative mounting surface. The blades are mounted in such a way as to minimize their thermal coupling to the mounting surface. When the blades are opened, the mounting surface is exposed to space, thereby providing heat rejection from that surface. 2, record 10, English, - thermal%20louver

Solvent seams use a brushed liquid solvent between the two geomembrane sheets to be joined, followed by pressure to make complete contact. These seams are used primarily on thermoplastic materials. Bodied solvent seams are similar except that 8 to 12% of the parent lining material is dissolved in the solvent and then the seam is made. Pressure is necessary and the use of heat guns or radiant heaters aids the process. A solvent adhesive uses an adherent left after dissipation of the solvent. The adhesive thus becomes an additional element in the system. 1, record 17, English, - bodied%20solvent%20seam
