Record number: 9, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The selection of an appropriate repository will depend primarily on local geological, hydrological, topographic and climatic conditions at the site. In general above-ground structures will be preferred where there is groundwater close to the earth surface or where excavation of pits or trenches would be difficult owing to hard bedrock close to the surface. On the other hand, in terrains with favourable properties, preference should be given to subsurface modules because of better shielding, easier handling during emplacement, simpler backfilling and covering with earth materials, and reduced potential for erosion. 5, record 9, English, - repository

On trouve sur le marché trois tissus d'entoilage principaux : les toiles, les synthétiques et les préencollés. Ils se présentent tous trois en une variété de pesanteurs et de textures et en différents coloris de pastel et foncés.

When both work-requesting and work-doing procedures are involved in candidate selection and ordering, the candidate-ordering activity resembles the negotiation we see when managers and contractors come together forget some building constructed : the first step is "announcement" by a manager of something that is to be done; next potential contractors evaluate the announcement, and some decide to make a "bid"; with all the bids in hand, the manager makes a "selection".
