Individual shingles on the sidewall have several advantages over using pre-made shingle panels. The biggest plus is that the shingles are nailed to the underlayment, not glued. There is no way to have glue failure. The individually nailed shingles are much easier to do repairs on, should that be necessary. It is fairly simple to remove a few ruined shingles and slip in new ones to fix the damage. With the prepared panels, the entire panel(or possibly more) panel units must be removed and replaced as it is possible to remove and replace the individual shingles on the panels. An additional plus factor for individual shingles is that they are normally installed with three thickness’... On most panels the shingles are 12" long and there are two thickness’ of shingles as the shingles are usually exposed 6". This means that individual shingle construction gives more protection to the underlayment. Increased shingle thickness also increases the insulation factor on the wall surface. 2, record 1, English, - individual%20shingle

The 7-strand smooth wire electric fence was found to be a major barrier to mule deer migration. Howard(1991) indicated that the fence height was the factor restricting movement across it and that taller fences with 9, 10 and 12 strands would likely present a greater barrier to deer. 1, record 2, English, - livestock%20electric%20fence

The Centre national d’études spatiales(CNES) is developing an atomic clock of unequaled precision, which will be launched in 2003 aboard the International Space Station(ISS). The PHARAO clock(Cooled Atom In-Orbit Atomic Clock Project)... uses cooled cesium atoms in order to reach an accuracy and stability 10 to 100 times higher than any other high-performance existing calibrating clocks. The Cesium atoms are thrown on a free flight in a cavity enabling interaction with a radio-frequency field. They then transfer their intrinsic accuracy and stability qualities to the piezoelectric oscillator. The lack of gravity increases the time in which the atoms interact with the piezoelectric oscillator, which then increases the resolution and accuracy of the clock by a 10 factor. PHARAO will belong to ESA's ACES(Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space) payload within the frame of one of its ISS program. The ACES mission will be divided in two parts. The first one, which should last six months, will mostly focus on the PHARAO clock performance. The second part of the mission will last 12 months and will allow the international scientific community to use the clock for specific experiments(clocks’ synchronization, General Relativity tests, geodesy, etc.). 2, record 4, English, - ACES%20mission

Les études sur les horloges à atomes froids et leurs implications en physique fondamentale et en métrologie temps/fréquences constituent des thèmes majeurs du Département «SYstèmes de Référence Temps Espace» (SYRTE) de l'Observatoire de Paris (actuellement laboratoire Systèmes de Références Spatio-Temporels) et en particulier du Laboratoire primaire du Temps et des Fréquences créé avec le Bureau National de métrologie. La mission ACES (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space ) de l'Agence Spatiale Européenne apportera une contribution essentielle dans ces domaines. Parmi les objectifs scientifiques de la mission ACES, figurent la comparaison de fréquence de PHARAO, horloge spatiale à atomes froids, avec un ensemble d'horloges à atomes froids au sol, la détermination de l'exactitude de l'horloge spatiale et la recherche d'une éventuelle dérive de la constante de structure fine. Avec ses trois fontaines à atomes froids de césium et de rubidium, le laboratoire temps/fréquence jouera un rôle clé dans les comparaisons de fréquences. 2, record 4, French, - mission%20ACES

The CargoLifter is an airship, which can carry up to 160t of freight like a crane. Goods up to the size of 12 x 5 x 5 m can be carried at a speed of 100 km/h. Maximum range is 10. 000 km.... The advantage of CargoLifter is, that transport can take place in rural areas with little or no infrastructure. Transport times are cut by a factor of 10 and the complexity of the project is reduced significantly.... The loading cycle will take about half a day to unload and 3/4 days to load. The CargoLifter can take 72 TEU in a box, but the weight volume ratio is very low(1 : 20). The weight alone would account for 136t or 85% of the payload. The remaining 44t can take 2800 cubic meters of space(weight to volume of 1 : 62).... CargoLifter will use marine diesel engines and propellers for thrust. Installed power is expected to be 9. 3 MW, for a top speed of 135 km/h. The average speed will be about 100 km/h, which requires about 5 MW and an hourly fuel consumption of 1 tonne(specific fuel burn approx. 200 g/kWh). 3, record 5, English, - CargoLifter

Les promoteurs du Cargolifter visent le transport de charges lourdes et volumineuses. [...] le dirigeable géant CL160 se veut une alternative au transport par bateau, trop lent, et au transport par avion, trop cher. [...] Parmi les avantages soulignés par son constructeur [Cargolifter AG], on peut citer la capacité du dirigeable à effectuer du transport «porte-à-porte» sans infrastructure particulière au sol. Un système de grue intégrée permettra de charger et de décharger tout en maintenant l'appareil à une centaine de mètres de hauteur. Le Cargolifter mesurera 240 m de long et 61 m de diamètre. Il pourra voler entre 80 et 100 km/h à des altitudes de l'ordre de 1,500 m, et sera capable d'emporter jusqu'à 160 tonnes. Sa «soute» offre 46 m de longueur, 7,5 m en largeur et autant en hauteur. Sa structure est de type semi-rigide. Le dirigeable, doté d'une quille rigide et rempli de plusieurs compartiments d'hélium, sera équipé de moteurs diesel entraînant les hélices orientables. 3, record 5, French, - Cargolifter
