Unsaturated air can become saturated in three ways—by evaporation of water into the air; by the mixing of two masses of air of different temperatures, both initially unsaturated but saturated as a mixture; or, most commonly, by cooling the air, which reduces its capacity to hold moisture as water vapour sometimes to the point that the water vapour it holds is sufficient for saturation. 3, record 2, English, - unsaturated%20air

Leasehold ownership exists where one person(the tenant or lessee) is given :(a) exclusive possession of land by another(the landlord or lessor),(b) with the intention that he should hold it as a tenant and not in some other capacity,(c) for a determinate period of time less than that held by the landlord himself.(T) he tenure of the leaseholder is still of vital importance. It is this relationship, represented in the terms of the lease or tenancy agreement, which determines the continuing rights and obligations of the parties. Although it is still common, and correct, for lawyers to talk of freehold tenants, tenants in fee simple, etc., the layman normally understands the word tenant to mean the leasehold tenant; and the expression "landlord and tenant" is invariably used even by lawyers to mean leasehold ownership.(Harwood, 1975, p. 81). 1, record 7, English, - leasehold%20ownership

Convoyeur blindé.

Cette robustesse fait utiliser le convoyeur blindé dans les longues tailles, où il dessert le front sur toute sa longueur, recevant directement les blocs abattus par la machine (haveuse ou rabot). Pour suivre l'avancement du front de taille, on le pousse contre le front, sans avoir à le démonter. 4, record 15, French, - convoyeur%20blind%C3%A9

Elevator storage bins are constructed of concrete, metal or wood. Generally, large capacity bins, which can hold up to 1 000 tonnes of wheat, are of reinforced concrete. Such bins are used only at the larger mills. Lower capacity metal bins, designed primarily for farm use, are used by some mills as a relatively inexpensive and simple to erect alternative. Wooden wheat bins are used by some mills in Canada but are more common in primary elevators. 1, record 16, English, - elevator%20storage%20bin
