... the [hand-held thermal imager] shows a black and white TV-like silhouette of a person up to 500 meters away. The uncovered parts of a person's face and hands produce high contrast in the standard TV image and appear bright. Clothing(with less heat) is darker, a tie is much cooler and therefore darkest. In addition to a 500 meter range for people, it can see vehicles out to 1, 500 meters. 3, record 2, English, - hand%2Dheld%20thermal%20imager

Radiant frosts occur when large amounts of clear, dry air moves into an area and there is almost no cloud cover at night. During these times, the plants, soil, and other objects which are warmer than the very cold night sky will "radiate" their own heat back to space and become progressively colder. In fact, the plants cool(by radiating their heat) themselves to the point that they can cause their own damage. The plant tissues which are directly exposed to the sky become the coldest. These radiation losses can cause the buds, blossoms, twigs, leaves, etc. to become 1-2°C colder than the surrounding air which radiates very little of its heat.... The amount of heat lost to wind drift is often at least equal to radiative heat losses that are in the range of 10 to 30 watts per square meter(W/m2) or more. Consequently, the replacement heat must be greater than the sum of both radiative and advective heat losses during "successful" frost protection activities... 1, record 3, English, - radiative%20heat%20loss

In a pneumatic plant the germination bed depth will often be greater than one meter. If left alone, the heat produced would accelerate growth and the roots would matt together forming a solid mass. This was the problem that Galland had in his first plan. To overcome this, the bed must have a perforated floor with a chamber below so that air can be blown through the bed. Hence the term pneumatic malting. This air must be humidified to stop the grain from drying out, but more water will be lost from the bed than in floor malting. Additionally, the grain bed must be turned using large helical screw turners. 2, record 4, English, - pneumatic%20malting

In the indicating device of an integrating meter the first moving element(disc, numbered roller, etc...) which has the smallest scale value normally moves continuously during the course of measurement. However, this continuity of movement does not always occur in the indicating devices of some other integrating measuring instruments, e. g. cyclic operating heat meter, hydrometric vane in which the indicating device is actuated by discontinuous impulses. 1, record 5, English, - integrating%20meter
