A black box is a bare room with a movable seating area, a movable stage, and a flexible lighting system ... As per the name ... black boxes are often painted black and are square or rectangular in shape, with the idea that this is the most neutral setting in which to give productions a wide array of design and staging choices.  2, record 1, English, - black%20box%20theatre

Black box theaters have their roots in the European avant-garde of the early 20th century. The black box theaters became popular and increasingly widespread in the 1960s as rehearsal spaces. Almost any large room can be transformed into a "black box" with the aid of paint or curtains, making black box theaters an easily accessible option for theater artists... The black box is also considered by many to be a place where more "pure" theatre can be explored, with the most human and least technical elements in focus.  3, record 1, English, - black%20box%20theatre

Viewing Distance at Computer Workstations. ... Accommodation is when the lens capsule in your eye changes shape to focus on a close object. The eyes have a default accommodation distance, called the resting point of accommodation (RPA). That is the distance at which the eyes focus when there is nothing to focus on. In total darkness our eyes are set to focus at a particular distance, so that if the lights were turned on, an object at that distance would be in clear focus. The RPA averages 30 inches for younger people and gets farther away with age.  5, record 4, English, - resting%20point%20of%20accommodation

... reading from a computer screen... Our eyes have what is called a "dark focus. "This is the point in space where your focus would be if your eyes were totally relaxed. Imagine a pitch black room. In such an environment, where you can’t see anything, your eyes are actually focusing on a fixed point in space, that is why it is called the "dark" focus. This focus is known as the Resting Point of Accommodation(RPA) and is unique to every individual, but it usually rests more than three feet away from your face(and does not depend on time of day or age).  6, record 4, English, - resting%20point%20of%20accommodation

Desertización y desertificación: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que desertización y desertificación, significan lo mismo, de acuerdo con el Diccionario de la lengua española. [Sin embargo,] pese a que el Diccionario académico no establezca distinciones de significados entre estos pares, cabe señalar que otras obras de referencia sí introducen matices distintivos, cuya evolución terminará de perfilarse y consolidarse con el uso. Así, el diccionario Clave señala que la desertización es la ‘transformación de un terreno en desierto’, en general; mientras que la desertificación es una desertización causada específicamente por el ser humano. Por su parte, el Diccionario del Medio Ambiente, de Ana Andrés y Olga Roger, apunta a que desertización hace referencia a la pérdida gradual de población en un área geográfica, mientras que la desertificación se relaciona con la pérdida de cubierta vegetal.  1, record 5, Spanish, - desertizaci%C3%B3n

The Rocket Assembly/Checkout Facility... The facility consists of six contiguous laboratory modules subdivided into a storage area, a gray room area, and a clean room. The storage area houses spare instrument components and intermittently used ground support equipment. The gray room area contains facilities to clean components before they enter the clean room and equipment used to ship the instrument to WSMR [White Sands Mission Range]. The Class 100 cross-flow clean room is separated from the gray room by an air shower. The clean room contains three major stations : a clean bench for assembly of subsystems; a 12x14-ft optical bench for instrument assembly and electronic test of the instrument subsystems; and a vacuum chamber for vacuum focus and spectroradiometric calibration. The cryogenically pumped vacuum chamber is designed with a 30-cm diameter ultraviolet collimator at one end and a roll-off section that accommodates the entire flight instrument centered in the collimated beam at the other end.  2, record 8, English, - clean%20bench
