The Hipparcos Input Catalogue was constructed as the observing programme for the European Space Agency's Hipparcos astrometry mission. The requirements of the project in terms of completeness, sky coverage, astrometric and photometric accuracy, as well as the necessary optimisation of the scientific impact, resulted in an extended effort to compile and homogenize existing data, to clarify sources and identifications and, where needed, to collect new data matching the required accuracy. This has resulted in an unprecedented catalogue of stellar data including up-to-date information on positions, proper motions, magnitudes and colours, and(whenever available) spectral types, radial velocities, multiplicity and variability information. The catalogue is complete to well-defined magnitude limits, and includes a substantial sampling of the most important stellar categories present in the solar neighbourhood beyond these limits. 3, record 6, English, - Hipparcos%20input%20catalogue

Prevalence : This is defined as the extent to which the impact may eventually extend as in the cumulative effects of a number of stream crossings. Each one taken separately might represent a localized impact of small importance and magnitude but a number of such crossings could result in a widespread effect. Coupled with the determination of cumulative effects is the remoteness of an effect from the activity causing it. The deterioration of fish production resulting from access roads could affect sport fishing in an area many miles away and for months or years after project completion. 1, record 10, English, - prevalence

Facteur cumulatif: il s'agit ici de l'impact final possible tel que, par exemple, de l'addition des impacts conséquents à plusieurs passages d'un cours d'eau. Chaque passage pris séparément peut n'avoir qu'un impact local de peu d'importance et de peu de valeur alors que l'ensemble de ces passages pourrait avoir des conséquences étendues. Il faut également tenir compte ici des répercussions indirectes et des effets secondaires d'une activité; la diminution de la population de poissons causée par l'aménagement de chemins d'accès peut affecter la pêche sportive d'une région assez éloignée et cela pour des mois, voir des années, à venir après l'achèvement du projet en cause. 1, record 10, French, - facteur%20cumulatif

Detonating explosives are usually subdivided into two categories, primary and secondary. Primary explosives detonate by ignition from some source such as flame, spark, impact, or other means that will produce heat of sufficient magnitude. Secondary explosives require a detonator and, in some cases, a supplementary booster. A few explosives can be both primary and secondary depending on the conditions of use. 1, record 13, English, - secondary%20explosive
