CONT

The phrase "picture book" is commonly used to describe a book, most often written for children, in which the content is conveyed through the use of words and pictures in combination or through pictures alone. A picture book differs from an illustrated book in that the pictures it contains form an essential part of the structure of the book.

  • picture-book

French

Domaine(s)
  • Édition et librairie
  • Bibliothéconomie
DEF

  • Offences and crimes

The Court of Appeal expressed the view that the case illustrated just how important a resource the charge book is for trial judges, and how vital it is that the Charge Book be used for its intended purpose, that is, to minimise the risk of appealable error.

Record 3 2012-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
  • Computer Graphics
DEF

A two-dimensional map used for the description of Hamiltonian nonlinear systems. The distortion engendered by this transformation is reminiscent of a maladjusted out-of-sync television set. The map is expanding in one direction and contracting in the orthogonal direction.

CONT

Dr. Arnold's math explanations also exhibited playfulness. In one of his books, he explained a simple algorithm that stretches and rearranges an image, shredding it into a chaotic mess. In the book, Dr. Arnold illustrated the idea with a sketch of a cat's head that is now known as Arnold's Cat Map.

OBS

A word about spelling: we use "Arnold", as opposed to "Arnol’d"; the latter is closer to the Russian pronunciation, but Vladimir Arnold preferred the former (it is used in numerous translations of his books into English) ...

Key term(s)

Transformation discontinue inversible caractérisée par une conservation des aires : la contraction d'un facteur 1/2 le long de l'axe vertical est compensée par une dilatation d'un facteur 2 le long de l'axe horizontal.

Subject field(s)
  • Geophysics
  • Machinery
CONT

As an alternative to the use of pumps, with their attendant problems of maintenance and of using special materials, the author devised a system of vapour pumping, or, to use a more graphic if less scientific term, "pumpless pumping", which would have worked on the principle illustrated... [in this book].

Domaine(s)
  • Géophysique
  • Machines
CONT

Comme alternative à l'emploi des pompes, avec leurs problèmes concomitants d'entretien et d'utilisation de matériaux spéciaux, l'auteur conçut un système de pompage de la vapeur ou, pour employer un terme plus pittoresque sinon scientifique, de «pompage sans pompe» qui aurait fonctionné selon le principe illustré [...] [dans ce livre].

English

Subject field(s)
  • Joining Elements (Mechanical Components)
  • Riveting (Metals)
CONT

Pop rivets have two advantages compared to standard rivets in that they can be set by one man and also be used for blind fastening. ... There are two basic designs for pop rivets: closed-end and open-end.

CONT

Pop rivets... can be used where there is limited or no access to the reverse side of the work. Clark’ s., The Incredible Illustrated Tool Book, Boston, Pathfinder Publications, 1974.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments d'assemblage (Composants mécaniques)
  • Rivetage (Métallurgie)
CONT

Les rivets aveugles. [...] Étanchéité : lorsque c'est un impératif, choisir des rivets Pop se scellant hermétiquement est recommandable : leur expansion à la pose étant telle que le trou est entièrement comblé, ces rivets présentent une excellente résistance aux cisaillements et sont donc indiqués pour des joints exposés à subir de fortes vibrations.

CONT

Le rivet aveugle, que l'on appelle souvent du nom de la marque la plus connue «rivet Pop», peut être utilisé comme le rivet traditionnel. Il a surtout été conçu pour riveter «à l'aveugle», c'est-à-dire sans avoir accès au dos de la pièce sur laquelle on veut riveter un élément. Un exemple très courant d'utilisation est la pose des plaques d'immatriculation sur les véhicules.

OBS

Le terme générique de rivets aveugles s'applique à tous les types de rivets creux destinés à être posés d'un seul côté de l'assemblage, bien que leur domaine d'utilisation ne se limite pas seulement aux assemblages «en aveugle». On peut les classer d'après la manière dont on provoque l'expansion du bout borgne des rivets en les posants : 1) rivetage à mandrin à éjection [...] 2) rivetage Pop : le mandrin passé à travers le corps du rivet creux forme la tête et se rompt, soit par rupture de tige, soit par rupture de tête. [...] 6) rivetage par explosion [...]
