There are several application techniques that can be used when the asphalt is installed by mopping. The modified bitumen sheet can be rolled, scrolled or flopped into the asphalt. Regardless of the application technique employed, the crucial factor is that the modified bitumen sheet make complete contact and embed in the hot asphalt. This can be accomplished by lightly brooming the modified bitumen sheet immediately after it has been installed. It is also good roofing practice to “scuff in” the side and end laps to assure that they are completely sealed. 1, record 1, English, - modified%20bitumen%20sheet

Feuilles de bitume modifié. Cette catégorie de feuilles est obtenue à partir de bitumes et de polymères modificateurs (caoutchoucs synthétiques ou matières plastiques) ainsi que de fillers et d'adhésifs aux propriétés particulières. Puisque le processus de fabrication consiste essentiellement à mélanger les éléments, la quantité d'agent modificateur peut être adaptée en fonction des caractéristiques désirées. Les deux agents modificateurs de bitume les plus utilisés sont le SBS (styrène-butadiène-styrène) et l'APP (polypropylène atactique). La teneur moyenne en SBS du composé varie entre 12 et 15 %. En général, une quantité supérieure de SBS entraîne une augmentation de la souplesse à basse température et de la résistance à la fatigue, une élévation du point de ramollissement et un élargissement de la plage des températures de service. 1, record 1, French, - feuille%20de%20bitume%20modifi%C3%A9

The X-ray crystal structure of the transcription factor IIA(TFIAA) in complex with TATA-box-binding protein(TBP) and TATA-element DNA is presented at 2. 5 angstrom resolution. TFIIA is composed of ß-barrel and a four-helix bundle motif that together have a boot-like appearance. The ß-barel extends the TBP ß-sheet and bridges over the DNA major groove immediately upstream of the TATA box. 1, record 2, English, - transcription%20factor%20IIA

FACT SHEET : Racial Divide Continues to Grow... Race or ethnic origin is a likely factor in determining who has access to computers and the Internet. Americans today are accessing the Internet with more regularity, and Black and Hispanic households are twice as likely to own computers today as they were in 1994. Yet, many race or origin groups are losing ground in computer and Internet connectivity when compared to the progress of Whites and those of Asian/Pacific Island descent. When holding income constant, Black and Hispanic households are still far less likely to have Internet access. 1, record 3, English, - racial%20divide

Le revenu moyen par habitant de 2 220 dollars (en 1997) de la Namibie est plus de quatre fois supérieur à la moyenne de l'Afrique subsaharienne, ce qui la place à égalité avec certains pays d'Europe de l'Est aux revenus faibles et moyens. Mais derrière ce chiffre se cache l'une des répartitions de revenus les plus inégales au monde. Un pour cent des ménages, les plus riches, consomme autant que 50 % des couches les plus pauvres de la population. Héritée de l'apartheid, cette répartition des revenus correspond au clivage racial. La minorité blanche, qui détient la plupart des terres et des grandes entreprises, est en haut de la pyramide des revenus, et la majorité noire en bas. 3, record 3, French, - clivage%20racial
