DOWNSTREAM DEVELOPMENT [9 records]

Record 1 2020-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Embryology
  • Marine Biology
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
CONT

Larval drift is a critical phase of ontogenetic development for many species of... fishes. Downstream advection and dispersion of passively drifting larvae or eggs is controlled by the complex interaction of flow regime, channel planform, local channel morphology, and the resulting hydraulic gradients.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Embryologie
  • Biologie marine
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
CONT

Les déplacements côtiers saisonniers et le manque de preuve que la plie rouge migre beaucoup ont mené à spéculer que le sud du golfe du Saint-Laurent pourrait abriter plusieurs stocks locaux de plie rouge, partiellement connectés par la dérive larvaire.

Record 4 2016-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Areal Planning (Urban Studies)
  • Urban Development
DEF

A growth area that is intended to provide an alternative attractive power to a major urban centre, and hence assist in controlling its growth.

CONT

Planners contemplate the development of countermagnet centers, such as the projected satellite part 70 miles downstream at Haldia, to draw population pressure from the center.

Key term(s)
  • countermagnet centre

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aménagement du territoire
  • Développement urbain
CONT

Métropoles d'équilibre : grandes villes de province que l'État s'efforce de développer pour qu'elles deviennent des centres d'attraction économique capables de fixer la main-d'œuvre et de faire équilibre au développement excessif de Paris.

CONT

La ville satellite ne résout pas le problème [de] l'extension [ce qui implique la restructuration des noyaux anciens des zones d'habitat dispersé] la politique des noyaux restructurateurs exige des investissements importants

OBS

Pôle de croissance dont l'objet est de faire contrepoids à l'attrait exercé par un grand centre urbain.

Record 5 2002-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heat Treatment: Intervening Factors (Metals)
  • Thermoelectricity and Thermoelectronics
CONT

The new 60-megawatt segmented arc heater, known as H3, significantly improves AEDC' s [Arnold Engineering Development Center] present arc capabilities... Arc heaters such as H3 produce the high pressures and heat fluxes required for testing thermal protection materials used for nose tips and heat shields. Arc heater tests provide information to manufacturers about the probable condition a space vehicle component would experience following re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. An arc heater is basically a large tube that high-pressure air runs through. The air is heated by discharging tens of megawatts of power using an electric arc similar to a lightning bolt. At the nozzle, or downstream end of the heater, test personnel install models or materials and subject them to simulated high pressure and temperature conditions generated by the bolt. Temperatures range from 5, 000 to 15, 000 degrees Fahrenheit, requiring each component to be water-cooled.

Record 6 2002-04-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
DEF

development: Term generally applied in synoptic meteorology to the intensification of depressions or anticyclones.

CONT

Upper-level westerly or southwesterly winds from a tropical cyclone can create a downstream environment to the east that is favorable for the development [formation] or intensification of another tropical cyclone, despite the appearance(on satellite imagery) of strong westerly shear across the downstream tropical cyclone.

CONT

... winds tend to blow into low-pressure areas because air moves from areas of higher pressure into areas of lower pressure. As winds blow into a low, the air can be uplifted. This uplift of air can lead to the development of a depression with clouds and rain.

PHR

Intensification of a cyclone.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Météorologie
DEF

Terme généralement appliqué, en météorologie synoptique, à l'activité et à la force des dépressions ou des anticyclones

CONT

Les images prises par Meteosat dans l'infrarouge se sont avérées particulièrement utiles pour surveiller l'intensification des dépressions du 5 au 9 [...] juillet.

PHR

Intensification des dépressions, des anticyclones.

Record 7 2002-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Climatology
DEF

atmospheric analogs: Similar atmospheric states that may have occurred at quite different times, usually in different years but the same season.

CONT

While the presence of a low-level jet is not required for thunderstorms to occur, the downstream convergence associated with the jet core explains the increased potential for nocturnal thunderstorm development. This low-level jetstream has been described as an atmospheric analog to the Gulf Stream current and its diurnal variation is not well understood.

Key term(s)
  • atmospheric analogs

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
  • Climatologie
OBS

[...] la méthode des analogues, qui consiste à retrouver dans le passé une situation ayant le plus de ressemblance possible avec la situation présente [...]

OBS

On établit des analogues climatiques en choisissant des années passées plus chaudes que la moyenne et en identifiant les conditions climatiques qui régnaient alors de façon à déterminer les effets probables d'un réchauffement terrestre.

Record 8 2002-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
CONT

The primary interest of this laboratory is in the mechanism of cell transformation and oncogenicity of receptor protein tyrosine kinases(RPTKs). Currently, we are studying the ros oncogene, originally discovered in an avian sarcoma virus, human insulin receptor(IR) and human insulin-like growth factor I receptor(IGFR). Molecular basis for the oncogenic activation as well as signalling transduction pathways responsible for normal and oncogenic functions of those receptor PTKs are being explored. Regulation and intervention of those oncogenic RPTKs by potential suppressor "anti-oncogene" such as protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTPase) and dominant-negative mutants of downstream signalling molecules are being inquired. Finally, potential role of those and other RPTKs in the development and progression of human malignancy, particularly breast cancer, are also being examined.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cytologie
CONT

[...] les cellules utilisées doivent être soumises à des épreuves de tumorigénicité [...]. Bien que les techniques biochimiques permettent un dosage assez précis de la quantité d'ADN dans le produit fini, une mesure indépendante de la tumorigénicité potentielle doit être également fournie.
