Fires were carried out in June and July, which corresponds to the main fire season for this region of Siberia. Plots were burned under a wide range of fuel moisture and weather conditions to observe effects on fire behaviour, fire severity, emissions, and other ecological factors. All experimental plots were burned using line ignition along the windward side to quickly create equilibrium fire behaviour that mimics wildfires under similar burning conditions...  1, record 1, English, - equilibrium%20fire%20behaviour

... accumulation and ablation don’t occur equally over the whole surface of the glacier. Ablation dominates the snout of the glacier, where the climate is warmer and iceberg calving can happen. Accumulation therefore dominates the upper part of the glacier, where temperature is low and precipitation is suitable for snowfall... So a glacier can be divided into two areas, an accumulation zone and an ablation zone. The line separating the two is called the equilibrium line...  6, record 2, English, - equilibrium%20line%20of%20glacier

La limite entre ces deux zones [accumulation et ablation] est dénommée ligne d'équilibre d'un glacier. Le bilan de masse annuel est nul (autant d'accumulation que de fonte). L'altitude de la ligne d'équilibre varie évidemment d'une année à l'autre (parfois de plusieurs centaines de mètres) notamment en fonction de deux paramètres climatiques : a) La quantité de chutes de neige totale tombée au cours de l'année, en particulier durant la saison hivernale, détermine l'accumulation. b) Les températures estivales régissent la fonte (ablation) durant la belle saison.  6, record 2, French, - ligne%20d%27%C3%A9quilibre%20glaciaire

In a system at equilibrium the mean life-time [pi](which governs and may be measured by spectral line broadening) of the molecular entities of a specific chemical species is given by the number of molecular entities(in a specified state or form) divided by the number of molecular entities leaving that state or form per unit time.  1, record 4, English, - mean%20life%2Dtime
