Because of significant advantages, the kraft process has become established as the world's dominant pulping method. Nonetheless, the process also has some severe shortcomings.... Two add-on technologies date from pre-1970, the polysulfide process(used commercially on a limited basis) and the H2</sub>S pretreatment process(demonstrated at the pilot plant level). Both methods are successful in providing significant increases in pulp yield, up to 7 % on dry wood. Unfortunately, both methods are associated with increased concentration of sulfur in the chemical cycle, which exacerbates the odor problem. Additionally, both methods require further processing steps that increase the capital and operating costs of the pulp mill. 1, record 1, English, - H2S%20pretreatment

The Cup Counter Anemometer gives direct indication of run of wind on a mechanical counter.... Munro Cup Counter Anemometer... is used at many agrometeorological stations in hot climates to indicate the run of wind at 2 m above ground level and for estimating potential evapotranspiration. The three conical cups rotate the spindle at a speed proportional to linear wind speed and the motion is transmitted, via a worm gear, to a six-digit mechanical counter which indicates in mph, knots or km/h. Average run of wind over any chosen period of time can be calculated by noting counter readings at the beginning and end of the cycle. 1, record 2, English, - cup%20counter%20anemometer

Les instruments de mesure du vent sont de deux types; certains évaluent la vitesse, d'autres la direction. En surface, les anémomètres mesurent la vitesse du vent. Ils sont installés à 10 mètres au-dessus du sol, à un endroit dégagé de tout obstacle (bâtiment, arbre,...). Les plus fréquemment utilisés sont les anémomètres totalisateurs, constitués de trois ou quatre branches terminées respectivement par une coupelle hémisphérique.

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The second stage in the process of phtosynthesis is called the Calvin Cycle(it is also called the Calvin-Benson Cycle or the Carbon Fixation Cycle). In the Calvin Cycle, carbon molecules from carbon dioxide, CO2, are fixed into the sugar glucose,(C6sub>H12</sub>O2)(in six repeats of the cycle). The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma of eucaryotic chloroplasts. The major enzyme that mediates the Calvin Cycle is Rubisco(ribulose-1-5-biphosphate carboxylase). The Calvin Cycle was first investigated in the late 1940s and early 1950s by the Nobel Prize winning chemist Melvin Calvin(1911-1997). 6, record 3, English, - Calvin%20cycle

All photosynthetic plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it, through a complicated sequence of chemical reactions, into starches and sugars. In C3 plants all the cells in the mesophyll of a leaf conduct photosynthesis by the same process, a sequence of reactions called the Calvin cycle. Early in the cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide is incorporated, or fixed, into a compound containing three carbon atoms. 8, record 3, English, - Calvin%20cycle

Calvin-Benson Cycle (C3 cycle). So named because some of the important molecules in the cycle have 3 carbons in them. Requires CO2 (normally from air); a sugar to capture the CO2 (ribulose biphosphate, RuBP); catalytic enzymes and energy as ATP & NADPH (obtained from light-dependent reactions). 3, record 3, English, - Calvin%20cycle

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 4, English, - CargoLifter

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.

Régénération de la liqueur au sulfate. Au bas de la chambre de combustion se trouve le creuset (hearth), où l'on recueille les sels de sodium en fusion (molten smelt). Ces sels sont immédiatement dissous dans une cuve pour donner la liqueur verte (green liquor), qui est essentiellement une solution de carbonate de sodium et de sulfure de sodium. Après décantation dans un clarificateur (clarifier, thickener), la liqueur verte passe dans un bac extincteur de chaux (slaker, slaker-classifier), où on la mélange à de la chaux vive (CaO) pour convertir le carbonate de sodium en hydroxyde de sodium (caustification). Il se produit en fait deux réactions : la chaux vive subit d'abord une hydratation, ou extinction (slaking), en réagissant sur l'eau, puis la chaux hydratée, ou chaux éteinte, réagit sur le carbonate de sodium (soda ash) pour donner de l'hydroxyde de sodium, ou soude (caustic soda), et du carbonate de calcium. 2, record 5, French, - extinction%20de%20la%20chaux
