Selfish genes are parasitic sequences of DNA that increase their own frequency in a population, usually to the detriment of the organisms that carry them. Although most genes can prosper only by contributing to the well-being of their bearers, there are certain times in the life cycle of an organism when genetic elements can potentially cheat and gain a transmission advantage.... Some genes cheat by inserting extra copies of themselves into cells; some cripple or obliterate their genetic counterparts on other chromosomes. A few can even change the sex of their host so that it produces only eggs or sperm favorable to the gene's distribution. Virtually all species, including humans, harbor at least some selfish genes.  1, record 2, English, - selfish%20gene

Dans la théorie du gène égoïste, on considère que l’unité de base des êtres vivants est le gène, ou une séquence génétique. La finalité du gène est de se multiplier. Pour se reproduire, il s’associe avec d’autres gènes d’une façon temporaire ou définitive, en fonction de son intérêt. [...] Certains gènes peuvent être en plusieurs copies dans un organisme. Certains peuvent aller se joindre à un organisme différent de celui dont ils sont issus. Un organisme peut être parasité par des gènes qui ne lui sont pas utiles, mais il peut aussi se débarrasser de gènes qui ne lui sont d’aucune utilité.  2, record 2, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20%C3%A9go%C3%AFste

Glassiled is a laminated glass with embedded monocolour Light Emitting Diodes(LED's) which are powered through a high performance invisible conductive coating. Glassiled is available with either standard LED's for decorative purposes or with extra high power LED's for lighting purposes. Light sources float on glass without any visible wiring on the glass surface, allowing you to take advantage of the full transparency and elegance of the glass. Glassiled can be used for signaling, decoration, illumination and even for lighting in monocolour applications.  1, record 3, English, - Glassiled

Something that would make ecologists happy is a clean airplane. And the Ipanema, Brazil' s first totally alcohol-powered aircraft, is almost off the ground. The project has been in development for two years, under the wing of Neiva, a division of the aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Brazil' s largest agricultural aircraft manufacturer. The Ipanema does not pollute because, unlike conventionally fuelled engines, its alcohol-fuelled engine releases no lead residues into the atmosphere. However, for farmers, the real advantage is low operating cost. "Alcohol is four times less expensive than regular aviation fuel. So, while the alcohol engine consumes a little more fuel, just like automobiles, the bottom line is a savings of about 60 percent"... The alcohol-fuelled engine also boasts five percent more power. This slight advantage will allow the plane to carry extra quantities of crop-dusting products. Another advantage is that this type of engine runs cooler, giving it a longer maintenance cycle and useful life... The aircraft is still in the approval process, so the first alcohol-powered Ipanema will not fly until March 2005, after it has been completely certified.  1, record 4, English, - alcohol%20aircraft

Agencies working for NASA use this term for a lighter-than-air aircraft designed to explore the planets. An aerobot is a helium-filled balloon fitted with heaters that are powered by solar cells. During the day, solar energy will heat the helium and give it extra buoyancy; at night, the balloon will drop to lower altitudes or even touch the ground. A limitation of the design is that its movements cannot be fully controlled, though it may have some ability to dictate its altitude, perhaps through dropping ballast, releasing gas or managing its temperature. A big advantage of this design is that it doesn’t need fuel, which is expensive to transport and which runs out all too soon. Unlike satellites, aerobots fly in the atmosphere, so allowing experiments to be carried out on its chemistry. They can also view and record the ground from much lower altitudes than is possible with satellites. NASA plans to send a device of this sort to Mars in 2003, and possibly later to Titan, Venus and Jupiter.  2, record 5, English, - aerobot
