Each of the... Canadian wheat classes is visually distinct from the other, and the varieties within each class are visually similar. This visual characteristic is called kernel visual distinguishability, or KVD, and it is presently one of the requirements that must be met if a wheat variety is to be registered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA) for unrestricted registration, production and handling.

OBS

Term and abbreviation used at the Canadian Grain Commission.

Chacune des classes de blé [...] canadien peut être distinguée visuellement les unes des autres, et les variétés à l'intérieur de chaque classe se ressemblent visuellement. Cette caractéristique visuelle est appelée la distinction visuelle des grains, ou DVG. C'est présentement une des exigences à laquelle une variété de blé doit satisfaire avant de pouvoir être enregistrée par l'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments (ACIA) aux fins d'enregistrement, de production et de manutention sans restriction.

CONT

Hypergolicity is a very important characteristic for bipropellants. With hypergolic propellant, the design of engines and the handling of rocket systems are greatly simplified, and the rocket engine can be restarted repeatedly for a great number of times.

Le [...] peroxyde d'azote et le [...] diméthylhydrazine asymétrique : Assez peu performant, ce couple est par contre stockable à pression et température ambiantes et présente l'avantage de son hypergolicité : les deux ergols s'enflamment spontanément par contact.

Farinograph absorption is much lower than last year and lower than the long-term average. Lower starch damage this year is probably the major contributor to this decreased absorption. Farinograph and extensograph results indicate somewhat stronger dough properties relative to last year. Higher L and lower P alveograph values, indicating greater extensibility, may be related to lower flour absorption which can strongly influence alveogram shape. Canadian short process baking absorption is lower than last year, consistent with farinograph absorption results. Loaf volumes are comparable to 1999 values. During processing dough shows similar mixing requirements and the superior handling properties characteristic of last year's crop.
