The construction of knitted structures is characterised by the shape and size of loops, the linear density of the constituent yarns and the type of tricot structure... Other important indices of knitted fabric construction are the cover factor(tightness), stitch density(i. e., wale density, course density and the total number of loops in a measured area of knitted fabric), area density and thickness. 4, record 1, English, - knit%20construction

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The dynamic amplification factor(DAF) is an important parameter in the design of highway bridges and yet no worldwide consensus has been reached so far as to its value. Some disagreement exists between provisions of various national bridge codes. This is because the DAF depends, in addition to the maximum span or the natural frequency, on many other parameters that are difficult to take into account with reasonable accuracy. Vehicle speed, weight, and dynamic characteristics, the state of the structure, roadway roughness, expansion joints, the type of bridge supports, soil-structure interaction, and influence of secondary elements are some aspects influencing the DAF. This study reviews the analytical and experimental findings on bridge dynamics and the evaluation of the DAF. 3, record 7, English, - dynamic%20amplification%20factor

Le facteur d'amplification dynamique (FAD) est un paramètre important dans la conception des ponts routiers. Pourtant il n'existe, jusqu'à maintenant, aucun consensus international quant à sa valeur, et certaines divergences existent entre les recommandations de différentes normes nationales de calcul de ponts. Ceci est dû au fait que le FAD dépend, en plus de la portée et de la fréquence propre, de plusieurs autres paramètres qui sont difficiles à isoler. La vitesse, le poids et les caractéristiques dynamiques du véhicule, l'état de la structure, l'étendue des imperfections de la planéité de la chaussée, l'état des joints de dilatation, les types d'appuis, l'interaction sol-structure, l'influence des éléments secondaires, sont quelques aspects influençant le FAD.

The principle factor responsible for the transcriptional state of the c-fos proto-oncogene is the serum response factor(SRF) which binds a conserved DNA sequence called serum response element(SRE) present in the promoter region of the c-fos gene. In order to elucidate the molecular basis of this interaction, we have solved the crystal structure of a recombinant SRF-SRE complex(Nature, 376 : 490-298, 1995). 3, record 15, English, - serum%20response%20factor

La géométrie fractale permet d'analyser le chaos sous ses formes statistique et déterministe. Elle permet aussi de mesurer la capacité d'un ensemble de points à remplir une ligne sans jamais l'atteindre, la capacité d'une ligne à remplir l'espace entre ligne et plan sans atteindre le plan, ou la capacité d'un objet à remplir un volume sans jamais être vraiment ce volume. Ses applications permettent d'associer une structure à l'apparente confusion des phénomènes aléatoires, depuis les particules des aérogels, jusqu'aux amas galactiques. 2, record 18, French, - g%C3%A9om%C3%A9trie%20fractale

Electrolytic conduction is the predominating factor in most rocks(...), being the only form of conduction when no minerals are present and the frequency is low. Thus a rock structure must be somewhat porous to permit current flow when metallic minerals are absent. Most rock minerals have a net negative charge at the interface between the rock surface and pore fluid. Consequently positive ions are attracted towards, negative repelled from, this interface;(...) 1, record 22, English, - membrane%20polarization
