The spiny water flea(Bythotrephes cederstroemi) is not an insect but a small crustacean, about half an inch long with a long, sharp, barbed tail spine. It is native to Great Britain, and its home range extended through northern Europe east to the Caspian Sea. It was first found in Lake Huron in 1984, and was most likely introduced from ballast water discharge from a trans-oceanic freighter. Since then, populations of the crustacean have exploded and it can now be found throughout the Great Lakes and in many inland lakes and waterways. 3, record 10, English, - spiny%20water%20flea

The animal doesn’t necessarily use its whole home range every day. The home ranges of males and females of the same species may overlap, and a male's home range may include that of several females. Many factors influence the size, shape, and use of a home range, such as the gender and age of the animal, the season, the amount of food available, the nearness of mates, and the degree of fighting among its kind.

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.

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 13, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20direction%20pour%20largage%20de%20pr%C3%A9cision

Perhaps the most concerted government conservation effort, next to the automotive fuel-economy standards set in the 1970s, has been so-called demand-side management(DSM) by the public utilities. Under DSM, utilities undertake a wide range of measures to encourage conservation by their customers : selling energy-efficient lightbulbs at less than cost, subsidizing home insulation, conducting home inspections to track down sources of energy losses, to name just a few. 2, record 18, English, - demand%2Dside%20management
