The exploitation pattern can be changed by: (1) modifications to the fishing gear characteristics, for example, increasing mesh or hook size; (2) modification of the mix of [gear] in a multigear fishery, for example introducing a new gear type aiming at a particular age range; (3) modification of the proportion of the removals taken by each gear in a multi gear fishery; ([4]) change in fishing practice such as shift in area or time period fished (possibly as a result of a regulation such as a closed area or season). 2, record 1, English, - exploitation%20pattern

[Le mode d'exploitation est] l'effet combiné de la sélectivité des engins et de la disponibilité du poisson. Ce mode peut être altéré par des modifications des engins, par exemple une augmentation des dimensions du maillage ou des hameçons, ou un changement du taux de ponction des engins qui exploitent le poisson (par exemple, filet maillant, chalut, ligne et hameçon). Les modes peuvent aussi être modifiés par l'évolution des pratiques de pêche, telles que le fait d'éviter les zones où se trouvent les juvéniles. 2, record 1, French, - mode%20d%27exploitation

The aim of a demersal bottom trawl survey is to collect standardized fishery-independent data with a view to improving stock assessments. Demersal bottom trawl surveys should contribute to the characterization of fishery resources in a given area, in terms of population distribution(e. g., relative abundance indices) and demographic structure(e. g., length and sex distributions) as they collect data, including sex, maturity and weight, for the estimation of growth parameters of priority species. 2, record 2, English, - demersal%20bottom%20trawl%20survey

Diffusion nucléaire résonnante vers l’avant. Le domaine d’étude principal de la NFS est la détermination des paramètres hyperfins tels que les champs magnétiques internes, la séparation quadripolaire, les déplacements isomériques et le facteur de Lamb-Mössbauer […], qui fournit la fraction de noyaux résonnants. Le dispositif expérimental utilisé pour la NFS est très similaire au dispositif standard pour la SM [spectrométrie Mössbauer]. Cependant, alors que la spectrométrie Mössbauer est une spectrométrie d’absorption (un photon [gamma] est absorbé par un noyau), la NFS est une spectroscopie de diffusion. La radiation «blanche» synchrotron excite tous les niveaux Mössbauer dans l’échantillon et crée un état nucléaire collectif cohérent. Cet état nucléaire va décroître dans la direction vers l’avant et donner naissance à un excédent d’intensité à des temps retardés. L’épaisseur de l’échantillon peut induire une diffusion multiple, qui va influencer la mesure de la réponse en temps et faire apparaître des battements dynamiques. 3, record 11, French, - diffusion%20nucl%C3%A9aire%20r%C3%A9sonnante%20vers%20l%26rsquo%3Bavant

Drip Irrigation - A watering technique that reduces water use by 20 - 50%, utilizing a series of hoses and small emitters or porous tubing to deliver small amounts of water to individual plants. 4, record 16, English, - porous%20tube
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation of traditional drip irrigation where the tubing and emitters are buried beneath the soil surface, rather than laid on the ground or suspended from wires. The products being used today in subsurface drip irrigation come in three basic configurations : hard hose, drip tape, and porous tubing.... Porous pipe products emit water all along the length of the tubing. There are literally thousands of places per meter where water weeps out of the tubing. This design has shown resistance to plugging by roots. The disadvantage is its flow path is by far the smallest of the three configurations. This increases the likelihood of plugging by fine particles. It typically has the largest coefficient of manufacturing variability of the three configurations, which can be a major detriment because it prevents high distribution uniformities and high efficiencies. 5, record 16, English, - porous%20tube

A graph so called, because it contains an infinite number of steps, between any two steps. But naturally, most of the steps have an infinitesimal width, since there is a (countably) infinite number of them on a bounded interval. In practice, the steps having a non-negligible width are those corresponding to frequency locking where the rational number is a ratio between small integers, e.g. 1/1, 1/2, 2/3, etc. 3, record 17, English, - Devil%26rsquo%3Bs%20staircase

The Cantor function describes the distribution of mass along the Cantor bar. Many writers refer to its graph as the Devil' s staircase, because it is odd indeed... The Cantor staircase is a nondecreasing and non-constant function that is singular in the sense that it is continuous but nondifferentiable. Its derivative vanishes almost everywhere, and its continuous variation manages to occur over a set whose length-i. e.-linear measure-vanishes. 4, record 17, English, - Devil%26rsquo%3Bs%20staircase

Fiber Length. Traditionally, the fiber length distribution or weighted average fiber length of a pulp sample has been determined either by microscopic examination of a representative number of fibers, by means of a special drainage grid, or by screen classification of a sample into different length fractions.... In the classification method, a dilute suspension of fibers is made to flow at high velocity parallel to screen slots, while a much slower velocity passes through the slots. In this way, the fibers are presented lengthwise to a series of selected screens with successively smaller mesh openings, and only the fibers short enough to bridge the openings pass into the next chamber. The pulp sample is typically divided into five length fractions. 1, record 24, English, - classification%20method
