Infiltration flooding. After a few days of steady rain, when spring snow-melt occurs or during an extreme rainfall event, the soil around [the] home can become saturated with water. Steady snow-melt and precipitation can also raise the ground water level to a point where it is higher than [the] basement floor. This groundwater can infiltrate into basements through cracks in basement walls(or foundation walls) and cracks in basement floors. Infiltration flooding can be a significant problem in older homes where mortar has weakened over the years and cracks have developed in stone or cinder block foundations. 1, record 1, English, - infiltration%20flooding

It is used as a nutritious extender in a variety of food products. It is available to home cooks and is sold as a dried, granular product. When it is rehydrated with boiling water, TSP has a texture similar to ground beef.

The second type of precision airdrop is the Precision Guided Air Drop System(PGADS). Several different systems are in development. The idea behind PGADS is to use a ram-air canopy controlled by an electro-mechanical servo system. This flies a load into a specific location from a safe stand-off range vice just utilizing the safety of high altitude. Systems under development range in current weight capacity from 500 to 2000 pounds. The systems use various modes of operation. They can be controlled remotely from the ground or in the air, programmed to home in on a beacon or programmed to fly to a pre-determined gird reference via GPS navigation. 1, record 7, English, - precision%20guided%20air%20drop%20system

Le deuxième type de largage de précision se nomme système de direction pour largage de précision (PGADS - Precision Guided Air Drop System). Plusieurs modèles de ce système sont actuellement en développement. Le PGADS utilise un parachute-aile dirigé par un système électro-mécanique. Le PGAS offre la possibilité de diriger à distance de sécurité le matériel parachuté jusqu'à un point d'atterrissage précis plutôt que de forcer l'opérateur à se déplacer pendant la descente de la charge pour assurer sa sécurité. [...] Le PGADS se distingue principalement de l'AGAS par le prix du parachute-aile et la capacité d'opération à distance de sécurité qu'il offre. Bien que l'AGAS soit beaucoup moins cher, le PGADS offre la capacité de pilotage à distance de sécurité et plus de souplesse. 1, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20direction%20pour%20largage%20de%20pr%C3%A9cision

The circulation of heated air between adjacent rooms and different levels can be improved by using vents. Properly located floor vents can assist the natural convection cycle of rising warm air and falling cool air by providing a path. For example, the central stairway in a two-storey home allows warm air to reach the second floor, but circulation is limited because there is little return of displaced air back to the ground floor. Add one or two floor vents near outside walls and the cooler air upstairs will flow down through the vents and back towards the heater. 1, record 20, English, - floor%20vent
