Les hydrocarbures halogénés comprennent les halométhanes, qui n'ont qu'un seul atome de carbone, et les haloéthanes, qui ont deux atomes de carbone. Contrairement aux composés chlorofluorocarbonés, qui ne contiennent que deux halogènes, le chlore et le fluor, les hydrocarbures halogénés peuvent contenir tous les autres halogènes : brome, iode et astate; cependant ces derniers éléments sont rarement utilisés et c'est pour cette raison qu'on emploie parfois le terme chlorofluorocarbone au sens d'hydrocarbure halogéné. 6, record 2, French, - hydrocarbure%20halog%C3%A9n%C3%A9

L'ordre de préséance des termes français devrait être : «hydrocarbure halogéné», «halocarbone» et «halocarbure». Le terme «hydrocarbure halogéné» remplace fort bien le terme «halocarbure» pour traduire le mot anglais «halocarbon». Le terme «halocarbone» qui est meilleur que le terme «halocarbure» est cependant d'usage peu fréquent. Le terme «halocarbure» quoique de forme discutable peut être employé dans un contexte de continuité, particulièrement si le nom était généralement accepté et utilisé antérieurement (par ex. dans un règlement fédéral). 7, record 2, French, - hydrocarbure%20halog%C3%A9n%C3%A9

The Fire Radiative Power product(FRP, in megawatts) provides information on the measured radiant heat output of detected fires. It has been demonstrated in small-scale experimental fires that the amount of radiant heat energy liberated per unit time(the Fire Radiative Power) is related to the rate at which fuel is being consumed. This is a direct result of the combustion process, whereby carbon-based fuel is oxidised to CO2 with the release of a certain "heat yield. "Therefore, measuring this FRP and integrating it over the lifetime of the fire provides an estimate of the total Fire Radiative Energy(FRE), which for wildfires should be proportional to the total mass of fuel biomass combusted. 1, record 4, English, - fire%20radiative%20power

In order to grow, plants need light, heat, mechanical support, air, water, and nutrients... Plant nutrients are comprised of the fourteen essential elements that plants obtain from the soil. Some are required in relatively large quantities. Others are needed only in very small amounts. In soils, the nutrients most likely to be limiting are nitrogen and phosphorus. When soil nutrients cannot produce a good crop yield, additional nutrients must be added. Applying too little nutrient will limit yield. Applying too much does not make economic sense and can harm the environment. 3, record 6, English, - nutrient%20requirement

Soybeans are a self-pollinated crop. They are grown as a full-season crop and yield generally decreases in earlier varieties. All but the earliest varieties also are sensitive to day length, flowering faster under short days. Therefore varieties are adapted over narrow bands of latitude and heat units. As a result, selection of adapted varieties is crucial and numerous varieties have been developed by both public and private plant breeding programs. Many of these varieties are of U. S. origin but have been licensed for sale in Canada. 3, record 9, English, - self%2Dpollinated%20crop

Le soja est une plante à pollinisation directe. Sa culture prend toute la saison et les variétés précoces donnent généralement un rendement inférieur. Toutes les variétés, sauf les variétés précoces sont sensibles à la photopériode, et fleurissent plus vite lorsque les jours sont courts. Les variétés sont donc adaptées à des latitudes et à des climats étroitement définis. La sélection de variétés adaptées est donc très importante, et de nombreuses variétés ont été créées dans le cadre de programmes de sélection publics et privés. Bon nombre de ces variétés proviennent des États-Unis, mais elles ont été homologuées au Canada. 1, record 9, French, - plante%20%C3%A0%20pollinisation%20directe
