Losee's test... is similar to the jerk test, in that the limb is moved from flexion to extension. If the left knee is being tested, the examiner stands to the left of the patient, grasps the foot with his left hand, flexes the knee to about 40° and uses his abdomen as a fulcrum to apply a valgus stress to the knee. With his right hand he increases the valgus pressure, placing the fingers on the patella and the thumb behind the fibular head..., while simultaneously pulling the upper tibia forward. On subsequent extension, during which the lower leg may rotate inward, a lateral snapping will occur between the femur and tibia at about 20° if there is an anterior cruciate insufficiency with anterolateral rotatory instability... 1, record 1, English, - Losee%26rsquo%3Bs%20test

In the expansive floodplains of the Niger River in Mali farmers have grown rice for many centuries. This peculiar "African rice", or Oryza glaberrima, evolved here before the arrival of humans. Its make-up includes genetic traits essential for survival. Its stalk grows in pace with the rising water, keeping its panicle(seed head) afloat; it can cope with dehydration stress after the waters recede; and it shatters seed when mature. 2, record 4, English, - floating%20rice

Les terrasses alluviales insubmersibles de la plaine et certaines régions pionnières du Nord et du Nord-Ouest sont le domaine des rizières à alimentation pluviale, où l'eau de pluie est retenue entre des diguettes plantées de palmiers rôniers. Les régions alluviales basses utilisent, en revanche, les eaux de l'inondation annuelle qui sont peu contrôlées : c'est le domaine du riz flottant, dont la tige est capable de s'allonger assez rapidement pour suivre la montée des eaux. Dans quelques secteurs limités, des paysans ont procédé à des endiguements qui permettent de maîtriser la montée et la descente des eaux et donc de remplacer les riz flottants par des riz dressés, plus productifs. 2, record 4, French, - riz%20flottant
