DEF

... a secondary NOxx control technology that consists in using fuel as a reactant which will react with NO molecules[, the] reaction [being] brought about by injecting a set amount of fuel into the downstream of the primary combustion at a high temperature.

CONT

[The] burning of any kind is responsible for the production of nitrogen oxides by reaction with air... These nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere are the cause of various forms of pollution [such as] acid rain.... to reduce or eliminate nitrogen oxides... we know a process called reductive reburning or overfire. This method comprises injecting a hydrocarbon according to operating conditions very precise, downstream of a first combustion in which nitrogen oxides are produced.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
OBS

The Astro/PGBA [Astro/plant generic bioprocessing apparatus] experiment hardware is contained in a double locker that will be installed into the EXPRESS Rack after the Shuttle is in orbit. The hardware consists of a plant growth chamber with a 10-inch by 12-inch growth area that allows 10 inches of plant height and 2 inches of roots. Fluorescent or LEO lighting will simulate sunlight, and an atmospheric control system will maintain set levels of carbon dioxide and humidity while scrubbing volatile organic compounds, such as ethylene, that can accumulate and inhibit plant growth. Plant transpiration water, collected from a dehumidifier system, can be recirculated back into the root matrix. A computer system will control experiment operations and provide engineering and video data for downlink to investigators on the ground.

OBS

The PGBA has successfully supported plant experiments that examine changes in plant lignification and related downstream biochemical consequences, especially production of secondary metabolites.

OBS

astro/plant biogeneric processing apparatus: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

  • Air Pollution
  • Climate Change
OBS

The regulations will mandate reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants from the following industrial sectors : electricity generation produced by combustion, oil and gas(including upstream oil and gas, downstream petroleum, oil sands, and natural gas pipelines), forest products(including pulp and paper and wood products), smelting and refining(including aluminum, alumina, and base metal smelting), iron and steel, iron ore pelletizing, potash, cement, lime, and chemicals production, including fertilizers.

  • Changements climatiques
OBS

Les règlements prescriront une réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de polluants atmosphériques dans divers secteurs industriels : la production d'électricité à base de combustibles, de mazout brut et de gaz (y compris l'industrie pétrolière et gazière en amont, l'industrie pétrolière en aval, les sables bitumineux et les gazoducs), les produits forestiers (y compris les pâtes et papiers et les produits du bois), la fonte et l'affinage (y compris l'aluminium, l'alumine et la fonte des métaux communs), le fer et l'acier, le boulettage de minerai de fer, la potasse, le ciment, la chaux et la fabrication de produits chimiques, y compris les engrais.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dams and Causeways
  • Hydroelectric Power Stations
CONT

Rapid changes in the rate of release of water from dams, a process referred to as hydropeaking, is required to adjust the rate of production of electricity rapidly. Hydropeaking results in dramatic changes in downstream habitat.

OBS

Compare with hydropropulsing, in which flows ... are gradually varied over a longer period.

Domaine(s)

OBS

éclusée : Volume d'eau lâché à partir d'un ouvrage hydraulique (ouverture d'une porte d'écluse, turbinage d'eau stockée dans un barrage réservoir ...) et se traduisant par des variations de débits brusques et artificielles.

OBS

hydroélectrique : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2004).

OBS

lâché d'eau lié à la demande de pointe : Équivalent fourni par un spécialiste d'Hydro-Québec, selon qui ce terme est mieux compris au Canada.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

A cloning vehicle which has a single cleavage site for one or more restriction endonucleases, thus allowing the insertion of a fragment of foreign DNA.

CONT

Avipoxviruses, including Fowlpoxvirus(FPV) have been shown previously to infect mammalian cells but are unable to complete their replication cycle. Avipoxvirus based rabies and HIV vaccines have shown promise in preclinical studies. We have begun work to develop the FPV system for application to HPV CTL. We first constructed a new FPV insertion vector(Fig. 3) which facilitates production of recombinant viruses by co-insertion of the gpt marker gene under the control of a vaccinia virus 19K promoter. The gene of interest is inserted into a polylinker downstream of the vaccinia virus 7. 5K promoter.

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Vecteur de clonage ne comportant qu'un seul site de coupure pour une enzyme de restriction donnée, permettant ainsi l'insertion d'un fragment d'ADN étranger.
