furgoneta campera; cámper: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "cámper" es la adaptación del anglicismo "camper van" ("furgoneta campera" […]) y está recogida en el Diccionario de americanismos como sustantivo masculino: un "cámper". No obstante, puesto que designa un tipo de furgoneta, también es posible su uso como femenino […] De acuerdo con las reglas de acentuación, lo adecuado es escribirla con tilde, ya que se trata de una palabra llana terminada en consonante distinta de -n o -s. Su plural es "cámperes", siguiendo las pautas de formación que rigen las palabras acabadas en -r […] 1, record 1, Spanish, - furgoneta%20campera

In exchange for food and a home for the rhizobia in the tumor-like nodules formed on plant roots, the rhizobia aid plant growth by making nitrogen available. The process by which the nitrogen of the air is converted into a usable form available to the plant is called symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Nitrogenase enzymes catalyze the conversion of free nitrogen to ammonia, which is then incorporated into amino acids and proteins. 1, record 2, English, - symbiotic%20nitrogen%20fixation

Home equity conversion is commonly understood to be the generation of cash by borrowing against home equity from a lender. The home is mortgaged by the borrower to provide an interest to the lender. The borrower retains occupancy rights until the loan has to be repaid because the cash is generated from home equity through a mortgage loan, rather than through the sale of the home. 1, record 4, English, - home%20equity%20conversion

On entend généralement par transformation de l'avoir propre foncier l'obtention de liquidités par emprunt sur l'avoir propre foncier chez un prêteur. L'emprunteur souscrit une hypothèque sur son logement et verse un intérêt au prêteur. L'emprunteur conserve les droits d'occupation jusqu'à ce que le prêt doive être remboursé, car les liquidités proviennent de l'avoir propre foncier par l'intermédiaire d'un prêt hypothécaire, plutôt que par la vente du logement. 1, record 4, French, - transformation%20d%27avoir%20propre
