French

Domaine(s)
  • Natation
CONT

Ex-nageuse de fond. J'ai fait de la natation compétition pendant 12 ans. Ma spécialité était le 800. Avec du recul, je dois dire que le fond m'a beaucoup apporté, surtout au niveau de la concentration de la maîtrise de soi... Mais nageur de fond c'est une envie, quelque chose qui doit venir des tripes.

Record 4 2001-07-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Grain Growing
CONT

The surface of the grinding rolls may be either corrugated or smooth. Break rolls are always corrugated with the grooves running in a spiral along the length of the roll. When the rolls are turning, the corrugations cross each other and this imparts a cutting and shearing action to the material between them. The slower roll tends to hold the stock(whole or partly broken kernels), while the faster roll scrapes endosperm from it. The number of corrugations increases with successive breaking stages. The rolls used for breaking the wheat, that is the first break rolls, have 4 to 5 corrugations per centimetre of roll circumference whereas the last break passage may be 11 to 12 corrugations per centimetre.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minoterie et céréales
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

Les surfaces des cylindres de broyage peuvent être cannelées ou lisses. Les cylindres de broyage sont toujours munis de cannelures décrivant une spirale sur toute la longueur du cylindre. Pendant la rotation des cylindres, les cannelures d'entrecroisent, produisant ainsi sur la mouture qui les traverse une action de cisaillement. Le cylindre le plus lent tend à retenir la mouture (grains entiers ou partiellement brisés), tandis que le cylindre le plus rapide en détache l'albumen. Le nombre de cannelures des cylindres augmente à chaque stade de broyage successif; les cylindres servant à broyer le blé, c'est-à-dire les premiers cylindres, possèdent 4 à 5 cannelures par cm de circonférence, tandis que les derniers peuvent en avoir de 11 à 12 par cm.

English

Subject field(s)

Stockpiling of gold is broken down into government and private investor demand.

Key term(s)
  • gold stockpiling

La constitution de réserves d'or se répartit entre la demande des gouvernements et des investisseurs privés.
