Since 1978, the Oceanic Flux Program(OFP) time-series sediment traps have continuously measured particle fluxes in the deep Sargasso Sea. The OFP program is by far the longest time-series of its kind, and has produced a unique record of temporal variability in the "biological pump". Results provided the first direct evidence for the existence of seasonality in the deep ocean, and evidence that fluxes of both biogenic and abiogenic materials to the deep ocean were directly linked to seasonal patterns in upper ocean productivity. The time-series particle flux record has documented significant interannual and longer timescale variability in material fluxes to the deep ocean, and in the composition of the sinking material. The record is now becoming long enough to identify and study longer-term periodicities and quasi-decadal trends in material fluxes to the deep ocean, and their coherence with North Atlantic climate variations. The Oceanic Flux Program provides new insights into interannual variability and decadal scale changes in ocean functioning. This information is of paramount importance for predicting future, possibly anthropogenically induced, climate changes.

The neutron moisture meter consists of two main components, a probe and a gauge. The probe contains a source of fast neutrons, and the gauge monitors the flux of slow neutrons scattered by the soil. In using the neutron meter, a cased hole in the ground is necessary for lowering the probe to obtain readings.  2, record 2, English, - neutron%20probe

In the sources consulted, the term "probe" means the tube inserted in the soil as well as the whole meter, that is the probe and the gauge.  6, record 2, English, - neutron%20probe

Sonde à neutrons [...] Une sonde, de forme cylindrique, de 39 millimètres de diamètre et de quelques décimètres de longueur est introduite jusqu'à la profondeur voulue dans un tube installé à demeure dans le sol, le plus souvent verticalement. [...] Cette sonde contient d'une part une source émettrice de neutrons rapides [...] et d'autre part un détecteur de neutrons lents. Ce dernier est relié à un compteur donnant, soit l'affichage numérique de la totalité des coups depuis un instant initial, soit directement le nombre de coups par minute.  5, record 2, French, - sonde%20%C3%A0%20neutrons

La sonde à neutrons est particulièrement bien adaptée à l'étude, au cours du temps en un point, des bilans hydriques, de l'évapotranspiration, de la réserve en eau du sol, et donc indirectement de l'enracinement, au contrôle du drainage et de l'irrigation, ainsi qu'en génie civil au contrôle des chantiers routiers par exemple.  5, record 2, French, - sonde%20%C3%A0%20neutrons

Les humidimètres neutroniques (ou sondes à neutrons) mesurent l'humidité volumique du sol en utilisant la propriété qu'ont les neutrons rapides à être ralentis préférentiellement par les atomes d'hydrogène, qui dans le sol sont majoritairement inclus dans les molécules d'eau. [...] La mesure consiste donc à compter pendant un temps déterminé (de l'ordre de la minute) le nombre de neutrons lents qui reviennent vers la sonde. Ce nombre est proportionnel à l'humidité volumique su sol.  2, record 2, French, - sonde%20%C3%A0%20neutrons

The movement of a free electron from atom to atom leaves a hole in the atom it left. This hole is quickly filled by another free electron. As this movement is transmitted throughout the conductor, an electric current is created from the negative to the positive. At the same time, the "hole" has been moved backward in the conductor as one free electron after another takes its place in a sort of chain reaction. "Hole flow" is from positive to negative. Current flow in a transistor, then, may be either electron movement or hole flow, depending on the type of material, and this determines the type of transistor it is as well.  2, record 3, English, - hole%20flow
