Active debris removal entails designing special missions to actively capture large debris and deorbit them from densely populated regions, thus lowering the risk factor for the active satellites. … On the other hand, passive debris removal is a much cheaper way to eliminate debris. Passive debris removal techniques... can involve techniques such as slowing down debris as they pass through some resisting materials, but it is more time-consuming and mostly fit for smaller debris. 4, record 1, English, - passive%20space%20debris%20removal

Core project of International Geosphere-Biosphere Program. BAHC is an interdisciplinary project combining and integrating expertise from many disciplines, in particular eco-physiology, pedology, hydrology, and meteorology. BAHC in this respect has a transfer function : on the one hand developing techniques and algorithms to provide climatic data needed for hydroecological research, thereby translating the results of the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP) into the scales relevant for studies of changes of the conditions at the land surface, and on the other hand, providing soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer at larger scales, in particular, the areal pattern of heat and moisture fluxes according to land-surface heterogeneity. BAHC concentrates on investigations at scales where detailed studies of hydroecological processes are feasible in selected areas representing major ecosystems of the world and across boundaries between different ecosystems(ecotones, biome boundaries, etc.). 2, record 13, English, - Biospheric%20Aspects%20of%20the%20Hydrological%20Cycle

Types of technique used, for example, in technological forecasting, which begin with a consideration of the likely future structure and needs of society, and then consider the developments necessary to create that structure and meet those needs. On the other hand, exploratory forecasting techniques make projections based on present knowledge of a technology or product without trying to take into account the likely overall future picture.

The fishermen of the Aran Isles (off the south-west coast of Ireland) invented these stitches ... A true Aran design consists of a symmetrical arrangement of motifs on either side of a central panel, which can be formed: - by a cable or cabled pattern which can be wide or narrow, simple or complicated and is usually worked on a background of reverse stockinette stitch (one row purl. one row knit). or: - by a panel of fancy pattern usually giving a raised effect. The side panels generally consist of an arrangement of patterns giving a vertical effect. They can be classic: diamonds, single or double zig-zags, ring cables, etc. 3, record 19, English, - Aran

Each stitch had to be of the correct type to make up the desired pattern requiring mathematical, design and topographic skills which would be well used in a software programming environments of today.

Record number: 21, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The fermentation of solid substrates such as starchy or cellulosic materials can be approached in two different ways. The solid material can be suspended in an aqueous medium. A general problem with such preparations is that gelatinization of the starches, etc. can generate highly viscous broths causing poor mixing and O2 transfer at dry weight concentrations higher than 2% w/v. There is also the obvious diseconomy of adding so much water to the substrate only to remove it from the product. Alternatively, then, the problem is approached through ’solid state fermentation’, the growth of microorganisms on solid materials without the presence of free liquid. 3, record 21, English, - solid%20substrate%20fermentation

Such techniques can be divided into two basic types : thin layer and deep bed. In the former system, the organisms are grown on the surface of the substrate, which is spread on shallow trays about 2-4 cm deep; the trays are incubated in air-conditioned rooms or cabinets. The simplest deep bed systems consist of heaps of substrate that may be stirred periodically by hand. More sophisticated, fully automated systems include rotating drums, conveyor belt systems, which pass through air-conditioned tunnels, or deep tanks through which air is blown. The substrates used are generally based on wheat bran. 1, record 21, English, - solid%20substrate%20fermentation
