... the population focus for environmental impact assessment may be the result of biologists transferring concepts of population dynamics and maximum sustained yield from fisheries and wildlife management. On the other hand, it may be a reflection of the general level of public awareness and interest in certain species, the so-called "representative and important species.

There have been some decisions to the contrary, but generally it seems that a payment of a debt to a foreign domiciliary executor or administrator discharges the obligation where at the time there was no representative in the state of the domicil of the debtor... On the other hand, payment of a debt to a foreign executor or administrator does not operate as a discharge where there is at the time a local executor or administrator, unless, perhaps, the person paying did not have actual notice of the appointment of a local representative.("American Jurisprudence", 2nd ed., v. 31, 1967, p. 287) 1, record 3, English, - local%20executor

Where there are no automatic samplers, samples are taken by hand scoops or dipper samplers. These are dipped regularly into the moving stream of grain to obtain a sample representative of a total parcel. Where grain is stationary, such as in carlots or bins, a special sampling probe is used to obtain grain from different levels and at different points in the container. 1, record 4, English, - special%20sampling%20probe

À défaut d'un échantillonneur automatique, on prélève des échantillons à l'aide d'une pelle à main ou d'une puisette. À intervalles réguliers, on effectue des prélèvements dans le blé qui s'écoule, de façon à recueillir un échantillon global vraiment représentatif du lot. Si le chargement de grain est immobile, comme dans une cellule de silo ou dans un wagon, on se sert d'une sonde spéciale pour prélever des échantillons à différentes profondeurs et en différents points de la masse du grain. 1, record 4, French, - sonde%20sp%C3%A9ciale

The grade assigned to a parcel of grain is only as representative of the quality of that grain as the sample taken for grading. It is, therefore, very important that the sample be truly representative of the complete parcel. Most grain officially inspected on entry or discharge from a terminal elevator is officially sampled by an automatic sampler installed and operated under supervision of the Commission's Inspection Division. The automatic sampler is a mechanical device that takes a representative sample from a stream of grain moving on a belt or through a spout. Where there are no automatic samplers, samples are taken by hand scoops or dipper samplers. 1, record 5, English, - sampling%20dipper

Le grade attribué à un lot de grain n'est représentatif de la qualité du grain que dans la mesure où l'échantillon l'est du lot. Il importe donc que l'échantillon soit vraiment représentatif du lot complet. La plus grande partie du grain inspecté officiellement à l'arrivée dans un silo portuaire ou au départ est prélevée à l'aide d'un appareil automatique installé et utilisé sous la surveillance de la division de l'inspection de la Commission. Cet appareil prélève mécaniquement un échantillon représentatif au passage du grain sur un convoyeur ou déversé par une goulotte. A défaut d'un échantillonneur automatique, on prélève des échantillons à l'aide d'une pelle à main ou d'une puisette. 1, record 5, French, - puisette
