English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Diseases
DEF

A fungus rot of tomato caused by Alternaria tomato and marked by small brown to black sunken spots on the fruit.

CONT

Hard, scab-like spots on the infected fruit are characteristic symptoms of nailhead spot. The spots are dark brown and usually small, and the discoloration extends beneath each spot into the flesh of the fruit. Like early blight, it causes leaf defoliation. Because most modern cultivars are resistant, this disease is not important.

Key term(s)
  • nail head spot
  • nail-head spot

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies des plantes
CONT

La tête de clou, causée par l'Alternaria tomato, ressemble à de nombreux égards à la brûlure alternarienne, avec laquelle on peut la confondre. Cependant, les taches dures, qui ressemblent à celles de la gale sur les fruits infectés, sont un symptôme caractéristique de cette maladie. Les taches sont d'habitude petites et d'un brun sombre, et la décoloration s'étend sous la peau dans la chair du fruit. Comme dans le cas de la brûlure alternarienne, cette maladie provoque la chute des feuilles. Avec l'arrivée des nouveaux cultivars résistants, l'importance de cette maladie diminue rapidement.

Subject field(s)

CONT

... the nailing of wooden shingles and slates are entirely different. The heads of slating nails should just touch the slate and should not be driven "home" or draw the slate, but left with the heads just clearing the slate hangs on the nail. The opposite is true of wooden shingles and a man used to laying this material will invariably handle slate in the same way. As a consequence the slate, held too rigidly in place, is shattered around the nail hole, or the head of the nail crushed and eventually the slate may "ride" up over the nail and be blown off in a heavy wind... The temptation to use shingle nails instead of slating nails should be discouraged, for the slight saving in cost on the entire roof cannot approach the cost of repairs which may develop as a result of this practice.

OBS

Not to be confused with shingle nail.

Profanes, les clous gallo-romains cessèrent d'intervenir dans le jeu des ténèbres.

[...] Le fer [...] était chauffé à son extrémité dans un foyer de petite forge jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne la température du blanc soudant; puis, sur une petite enclume, l'ouvrier le martelait rapidement en ayant soin de le forger et de le contre-forger, c'est-à-dire en frappant alternativement sur les côtés contigus, pour n'élargir que lentement sous le choc du marteau et éviter de rendre le métal pailleux.
