English

Subject field(s)
  • Household Articles - Various
  • Mixed Drinks
CONT

The strainer [used] with a shaken cocktail is the Hawthorne strainer... A Hawthorne consists of a small slotted plate with a couple of tabs, which help it to span the opening of your mixing tin(or glass) when placed on top. The Hawthorne also has a spring around the underside, which is what strains out ice and other large solids.

Subject field(s)
  • Sculpture
CONT

A sculptor is a highly creative fine artist who develops ideas for sculptures or statues, and makes them come to life in three-dimensional form by joining or molding materials together. Sculptors typically work with hard materials like stone, marble, glass, metal, wood or ice. They can also use clay, plaster, gold, wire, plastic, rubber, fabric or even paper.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sculpture
CONT

Un sculpteur ou une sculptrice est une personne pratiquant la sculpture, comme discipline des beaux-arts ou des arts plastiques, comme activité de loisir (sculpteur amateur) ou bien comme métier (sculpteur professionnel). Selon les matériaux utilisés (modelage de terre par exemple), il peut travailler avec un fondeur qui réalisera les épreuves finales de ses œuvres, ou bien réaliser lui-même l'œuvre finale (sculpture de pierre par exemple).

Record 4 2002-11-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Plant Biology
CONT

The total water potential, which describes the energy of the water contained in the plant can be estimated from leaf water potential (LWP) measurements, by the use of the pressure bomb in salinity studies. The major components of LWP are leaf osmotic potential (LOP) and leaf turgor potential (LTP). Leaf water potential and leaf osmotic potential can be measured directly by the use of the pressure bomb and the vapor pressure osmometer, respectively. The LTP can be estimated by the equation LTP = LWP - LOP.

CONT

Leaf water potential and leaf osmotic potential were measured on the same leaves. Both parameters were measured on leaf discs by the thermocouple psychrometric method... The osmotic potential was measured after the sample(leaf disc) had been frozen over dry ice, thawed, and macerated with a small glass rod. The sap extract was then immediately placed on a filter paper disc in the C-52 sample chamber and its value of osmotic potential determined(Turner, 1981).

CONT

The leaf cells contain various organic and inorganic solutes, which determine the leaf osmotic potential (OP). OP is generally lower (more negative) than LWP and the difference between the two is turgor potential. Turgor is lost (null value) when LWP=OP ...

OBS

Le potentiel hydrique foliaire [(psi)] a été mesuré par la méthode de la chambre de pression mise au point par Scholander et al. Il correspond à la pression de l'air exercée sur la feuille et affichée par le manomètre de la chambre en acier, qui permet la sortie d'une petite goutte d'eau du pétiole. Le potentiel osmotique [(pi)] a été mesuré sur la feuille entière de la plante à la huitième semaine de croissance. La feuille récoltée était rapidement mise à congeler pendant 24 heures. Ensuite elle a été enfermée dans une enceinte en acier connectée à un psychromètre de type HR-33T Microvolt-meter.

DEF

A system [that] quickly heats washer fluid on demand, allowing drivers to rapidly and efficiently remove ice, snow, road grime, insects and other visual deterrents that smear, fog or cover windshield glass.

OBS

Microheat spent six years in research and development of HotShot, [the first heated windshield washer fluid system], and over four years working with auto manufacturers and Tier One auto industry suppliers. Microheat was first to develop the aftermarket product to meet almost any application variation within the industry.

DEF

Système [qui] chauffe rapidement le liquide lave-glace sur demande, ce qui permet aux conducteurs d'éliminer prestement et efficacement glace, neige, poussière, insectes et toute autre substance susceptible de salir, d'embuer ou de recouvrir le pare-brise.

OBS

Le dispositif utilise la chaleur libérée par la batterie du véhicule. Il peut être actionné d'une seule touche installée au tableau de bord. Quarante-cinq secondes plus tard, des jets chauds sont dardés sur le pare-brise.

OBS

Microheat lancera sous peu le premier système chauffant de lave-glace au monde : le HotShot. Il pourrait d'ailleurs être proposé en option dans plusieurs véhicules dès 2004-2005.
