Record 1 2023-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cultural Practices (Agriculture)
  • Environmental Management
DEF

Managing crop production inputs (seed, fertilizer, lime, pesticides, etc.) on a site-specific basis to increase profits, reduce waste and maintain environmental quality.

OBS

This concept is not new. What is new is the ability to automate data collection and documentation and the utilisation of this information for strategic farm management decision in the field operations through mechanisation, sensing and communication technology.... The term means different things to different people. To some, PF means using satellite, sensors and field or thematic maps. PF is in fact a comprehensive system designed to optimize agriculture production by carefully tailoring soil and crop management to fit the different conditions found in each field while maintaining environmental quality(Blackmore, et. al, 1994).

OBS

"Precision Agriculture", also known as "precision farming", "prescription farming" and "site specific farming", is founded on the principle of farming fields according to their variability.

Key term(s)
  • site-specific farming
  • site-specific agriculture

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soin des cultures (Agriculture)
  • Gestion environnementale
DEF

Ensemble des pratiques agricoles qui, grâce aux techniques agricoles de pointe, prennent en compte les caractéristiques de chaque parcelle et ajustent ainsi dans l'espace et dans le temps les interventions des machines et les applications d'intrants.

CONT

L'agriculture de précision, par l'association de nouvelles technologies telles que la localisation géographique par satellite et la micro-informatique, offre la perspective de réellement prendre en compte dans les interventions culturales l'hétérogénéité au sein de chaque parcelle.

OBS

agriculture de précision : désignation et définition publiées au Journal officiel de la République française le 27 mai 2021.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cuidado de los cultivos (Agricultura)
  • Gestión del medio ambiente
DEF

Gestión de parcelas agrícolas, basada en la existencia de variabilidad en campo.

OBS

Requiere el uso de las tecnologías de Sistemas de Posicionamiento Global (GPS), sensores, satélites e imágenes aéreas junto con Sistemas de Información Geográfico (SIG) para estimar, evaluar y entender dichas variaciones. La información recolectada puede ser usada para evaluar con mayor precisión la densidad óptima de siembra, estimar fertilizantes y otras entradas necesarias, y predecir con más exactitud la producción de los cultivos.

Record 2 2007-08-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meats and Meat Industries
DEF

The food prepared by grinding dry, defatted bones obtained from slaughtered animals that have been inspected and found fit for human consumption by an authorized officer, and shall contain :(a) not less than 85 per cent ash;(b) not more than 10, 000 micro-organisms per gram; and(c) no Escherichia Coli per gram.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Salaison, boucherie et charcuterie
DEF

Record 3 2000-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Control closure... Tear bands... employ a locked band to prevent cap removal. Access is accomplished by completely removing the band from the container. Frequently a protruding tab is evident for the consumer to grasp and commence tearing. Many non threaded TE closures utilize this type, such as the press-on friction fit closures found on milk containers. The closure is removed by tearing off the lower skirt, which overrides a bead on the container finish.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Modes d'ouverture et de fermeture (Emball.)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Fermeture inviolable conçue pour les récipients de verre ou de plastique et consistant en une capsule munie à sa partie inférieure d'une bague généralement terminée par une languette, ce qui facilite l'arrachage.

OBS

Les notions de «bague d'inviolabilité» et de «bande d'inviolabilité» déjà proposées comme synonymes de «bague d'arrachage» ne peuvent être retenues en raison de leur nature générique. En effet, celles-ci peuvent aussi s'appliquer à un système de fermeture inviolable qui permettrait à la bague ou à la bande de demeurer sur le récipient. À la rigueur, on pourrait aussi dire d'une bande d'inviolabilité qu'elle peut prendre la forme d'un manchon thermorétractable.

Key term(s)
  • bande d'inviolabilité

Record 4 1996-01-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plane Geometry
CONT

Archimedes found the area of a parabolic sector by dividing the sector into a sequence of ever smaller triangles whose areas decrease in a geometric progression... By continuing the progression, Archimedes could make the triangles fit the parabola as closely as he pleased-exhausting the figure, so to speaks.(His approach thereby came to be known as the method of exhaustion.) When he added the areas of the individual triangles, Archimedes noted that their total area approached 4/3 the area of the first triangle in the sequence...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géométrie plane
CONT

La théorie des proportions et la puissante méthode d'exhaustion permettaient aux Grecs de calculer les aires et les volumes de figures curvilignes.
