A solar chimney, or thermal chimney, is a vertical shaft that utilises the radiation of the sun to drive ventilation through a building... During the day, the sun heats the chimney and hence the air inside it. It causes the hot air to rise through the chimney, creating an upward draft. Fresh air is then drawn into the building through lower openings... Thus, ventilating the building. 1, record 1, English, - solar%20chimney

Le fonctionnement des cheminées solaires est lié à l'effet cheminée. [...] Le principe est maintenant repris par les concepteurs de certains bâtiments verts et par des producteurs d'énergie. L'air chauffé par le soleil au bas de cette cheminée produit un mouvement de convection qui fera circuler l'air à travers le conduit. Il permet d'améliorer la ventilation d'un bâtiment ou d'actionner des turbines qui produiront de l'électricité. 1, record 1, French, - chemin%C3%A9e%20solaire

Tamper Resistance. Most computer systems allow the operator of the system to introduce new code, such as an operating system, that controls the system hardware at the most basic level.

In astronauts, decompression sickness can occur when they go from the higher pressure in the Shuttle to the lower pressure in the suits 1.3 psi. [The pressure in the suit is lower to allow for greater dexterity in the hands while doing EVA tasks and to reduce fatigue caused by working in inflated suits]. 5, record 5, English, - decompression%20sickness
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Preparations for an EVA begin about a day ahead of time, when the pressure inside the space shuttle is lowered from 14. 7 pounds per square inch(psi equivalent to the pressure at ground level on Earth)... So, to prevent the bends, the pressure differential between the Shuttle and the suit is reduced to flush the nitrogen slowly from their blood. Then, after the astronauts are suited up, they sit in the airlock for about an hour breathing pure oxygen to eliminate any remaining nitrogen, which can last from 40 to 75 minutes. 5, record 5, English, - decompression%20sickness

La préparation à une sortie dans l'espace commence la veille de la sortie, alors que l'on fait passer la pression à l'intérieur de la navette de 14,7 lb/po² l'équivalent de la pression au niveau du sol sur Terre, à 10,2 lb/po². Il s'agit de la première mesure à prendre pour réduire les risques d'un malaise potentiellement grave auquel s'exposent les astronautes lorsqu'ils sortent dans l'espace revêtus d'une combinaison [...] C'est donc pour prévenir la maladie des caissons que l'on réduit la pression entre la navette et la combinaison. Cela permet une évacuation en douceur de l'azote du sang. Après avoir revêtu leur combinaison, les astronautes séjournent dans le sas pendant environ une heure, à respirer de l'oxygène pur, afin d'éliminer tout azote résiduel qui peut rester de 40 à 75 minutes dans le sang. 4, record 5, French, - mal%20de%20d%C3%A9compression

In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several different feasts known as Feasts of the Cross, all of which commemorate the cross used in the crucification of Jesus. The original name of this feast was the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, by which name it is still known by the Orthodox Church and the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church. Since 1970, it has been officially called the Triumph of the Cross by the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. It is also popularly known among Anglicans and Lutherans as Holy Cross Day. In Jewish folklore the feast was established by Saint Peter for converted pagans to observe instead of Rosh Hashana. The feast commemorates the finding of the True Cross in 325 during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem of St. Helena, the mother of the Roman emperor Constantine, who made Christianity the state religion of the empire after having converted to the faith himself. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was then built at the site of the discovery, by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was dedicated nine years later, with a part of the cross placed inside it. In 614, the part of the cross was carried away from the church by the Persians, and remained missing until it was recaptured by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 628. The cross was returned to the church the following year after initially having been taken to Constantinople by Heraclius. 1, record 6, English, - Triumph%20of%20the%20Cross
