A central part of GEO's [Group on Earth Observations] Mission is to build the Global Earth Observation System of Systems(GEOSS). GEOSS is a set of coordinated, independent Earth observation, information and processing systems that interact and provide access to diverse information for a broad range of users in both public and private sectors. GEOSS links these systems to strengthen the monitoring of the state of the Earth. 3, record 2, English, - Global%20Earth%20Observation%20System%20of%20Systems

Point in time of an enzymatic reaction in progress when the enzyme-substrate complex concentration (ES) is constant: i.e., the rate of change of (ES) is zero; the quantity of ES formed is equal to the quantity decomposed to E + P (products). 1, record 4, English, - steady%2Dstate%20condition

Under steady state conditions the equations involved are comparatively straightforward and the data are usually collected over a time scale of minutes so that ’conventional' methods of mixing and observation can be employed.... For a system where the substrate diffusion coefficient is independent of the substrate concentration, the enzyme is evenly distributed on the surface of the support and all the enzyme molecules are equally active, the rate of substrate transfer equals the rate of reaction at steady state. 2, record 4, English, - steady%2Dstate%20condition

Lorsqu'un enzyme est mis en présence de son substrat, généralement sous forme de solution, la combinaison enzyme-substrat est rapide [...] particulièrement lorsque le substrat est en large excès. Cette étape initiale, appelée phase pré-stationnaire, a longtemps échappé à l'approche expérimentale : sa durée est de l'ordre de la milliseconde. [...] À la fin de cette étape commence la phase stationnaire, pendant laquelle l'enzyme est saturé par son substrat, et la combinaison enzyme-substrat est à concentration maximale et constante, et durant laquelle la vitesse de la réaction est constante et répond à une cinétique d'ordre nul. Cette vitesse, dite malencontreusement vitesse initiale, caractéristique de la phase stationnaire puisqu'on lui donne parfois son nom, maintient sa constance tant que le substrat est à concentration saturante de l'enzyme. 4, record 4, French, - %C3%A9tat%20stationnaire
