OBS

cadre sémantique : la technique des cadres sémantiques (frames) mise au point par Minsky en 1975, est plus complexe que celle des réseaux sémantiques. Un cadre est une structure «à tiroirs», chaque tiroir pouvant contenir d'autres tiroirs. Les relations entre les cadres peuvent être représentées par un réseau où chaque tiroir occupe un noeud.

CONT

Actinide co-conversion is a key step, between fuel reprocessing, and refabrication. Two processes are being developed, to produce a solid actinide compound, at the head of the fabrication line, having practically the right, desired preform : these are the sol–gel process, using internal gelation, to form spherical actinide kernels(coated particle concept) ; andoxalic coprecipitation, to form a solid solution of actinides(pellet, or cylindrical pellet concept).

Key term(s)
  • actinide coconversion

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
  • Chimie analytique
  • Physique atomique
CONT

La coconversion des actinides est une étape clé entre le traitement et la refabrication du combustible. Deux procédés de coconversion sont en cours de développement afin de produire, à l’entrée de la chaîne de fabrication, un composé solide d’actinides directement utilisable pour l’étape de refabrication. Ce sont le procédé sol-gel par gélification interne pour la formation de noyaux sphériques d’actinides (combustibles à particules enrobées) et la coprécipitation oxalique pour la formation de solution solide d’actinides (combustibles à pastilles ou bâtonnets).

  • Education (General)
OBS

In August, 2007, the Settlement Workers in Schools(SWIS) program sponsored a pilot project to prepare newly arrived youth for entry to eight(8) high schools in Ontario. Called Newcomer Orientation Week or NOW, this intensive orientation initiative was piloted in six(6) high schools in Toronto, one(1) in Peel Region and one(1) in Hamilton. The NOW program was strategically positioned to occur just prior to the beginning of the school year. In NOW, former newcomer students are trained to lead the activities with the newly arrived students. The overall concept of NOW is that newcomer youth begin to feel more comfortable in the school setting and, if they run into difficulties, know how to get support-from PLs, teachers and/or SWIS workers. The overall goal of NOW is : To give newcomer youth a head start in their new school by familiarizing them with the school building and routines, linking them to students already attending the school, and orienting them to sources of help as well as the “culture” of the Ontario educational system.

OBS

En 2007, le projet SONA a été mis à l’essai dans huit écoles secondaires de l’Ontario pour fournir une orientation aux élèves du secondaire nouvellement arrivés au Canada dès leur arrivée au pays. La Semaine d’orientation des nouveaux arrivants (SONA) permet de présenter l’école et la collectivité aux élèves qui sont des nouveaux arrivants pendant la dernière semaine d’août avant la rentrée des classes. Cette séance est présentée par des jeunes qui ont été des nouveaux arrivants (des « peer leaders ») et animée par les TEE (Travailleurs de l'établissement dans les écoles) et les enseignants. Le programme SONA a été élargi en 2008 et est maintenant offert à 40 écoles.

Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
  • Non-impact Printing
CONT

Thermal ink-transfer printers have found applications in many fields due to their small size, quiet operation, high-quality printing, and low maintenance. The recording medium of these printers is hot-melt ink coated on a film substrate. Thermal energy from the print head causes the ink to melt and transfer to the paper. This design makes the print quality highly dependent on the properties of the ink.(Term and concept taken from the INSPEC data base).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Airport Runways and Areas
CONT

The aerodrome must be designed to accommodate aeroplane operations under most normal wind conditions. A tail wind on one runway is a head wind on a runway with a reciprocal heading. Runway lengths increase with tail wind, so when using the bidirectional runway concept(i. e. theoretically utilizing a head wind for all conditions in establishing runway length), the zero-wind condition is critical for both take-off and landing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pistes et aires d'aéroport
CONT

L'aérodrome doit être conçu de façon à recevoir les avions dans la plupart des conditions de vent normales. Ce qui est un vent arrière sur une piste est un vent debout sur une piste de sens opposé. La longueur de piste augmente avec le vent arrière, aussi lorsque l'on emploie la notion de piste bidirectionnelle (c'est-à-dire en utilisant théoriquement un vent debout dans toutes les circonstances pour établir la longueur de piste), c'est la condition de vent nul qui est critique tant pour le décollage que pour l'atterrissage.
