The United Nations Development Program(UNDP) launched the MicroStart programme in February 1997. The purpose of the programme is to build a new generation of microfinance institutions(MFIs) that have transparent track records and solid institutional and financial performance, which enable them to reach poor clients while operating on a sustainable basis. MicroStart also aims to improve the practice of microfinance within the UN system by establishing guidelines, providing technical assistance, and promoting training and learning opportunities that incorporate best practice in the field. The programme has been developed in response to demand from UNDP Country Offices for a practical and operational product to assist them in the delivery of quality programming to a well-defined niche in the evolving field of microfinance. 1, record 4, English, - MicroStart

Le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD) a lancé le programme MicroStart, en février 1997. L’objectif du programme MicroStart est de bâtir une nouvelle génération d’institutions de microfinance (IMF), qui font montre de transparence, possèdent de solides capacités institutionnelles et sont financièrement performantes – des caractéristiques qui leur permettent d’atteindre les clients défavorisés de manière durable. MicroStart vise également à affiner la pratique de la microfinance au sein du système des Nations Unies. Il propose ainsi des orientations, fournit une assistance technique, favorise la formation et l’apprentissage grâce à l’intégration des pratiques de microfinance ayant fait leurs preuves sur le terrain. Le programme est né suite à la demande des bureaux régionaux du PNUD qui nécessitaient un appui pratique et opérationnel pour les aider à exécuter des programmes de qualité, ciblés sur un créneau bien défini du secteur en pleine expansion qu’est la microfinance. Depuis son lancement en 1997, MicroStart a été déployé ou est déployé dans vingt pays, et des subventions ont été octroyées à 68 institutions de microfinance (IMF). 1, record 4, French, - MicroStart

A Unique Freeze Dryer Shelf and Condenser Chilling System. Most lyophilizers(freeze dryers) are designed with a single refrigeration system, which is required to switch from product chilling to condenser cooling in the lyophilization phase. If the shelf heating cycle should demand both cooling and heating to maintain a given temperature set point during the drying phase(as is the case with long and slow shelf temperature rises), the refrigeration system must operate in the dual role of cooling both the shelves and the condenser in order to maintain operational vacuum. If the sublimation rate from the product is high, this can often result in the refrigeration systems inability to meet both requirements. Most manufacturers attempt to compensate for these conditions by oversizing the compressor, which can lead to overloading in the terminal phase, resulting in reducing compressor life and reliability. 1, record 5, English, - sublimation%20rate

SOCRAM is a simulation model that uses the eleven Force Planning Scenarios to generate the demand for operational assets. In a simulation run of the model operational assets are demanded when a scenario is activated and several scenarios can be activated concurrently. The scenario activation rates are based on historical records of CF [Canadian Forces] operations with an emphasis placed on the 1990s. The output of the model is a series of risk assessments where risk is defined as the probability of having an insufficient amount of operational assets. If the Force Planning Scenarios are prioritised or weighted then the consequences of this risk can be determined. 1, record 6, English, - Scenario%20Operational%20Capability%20Risk%20Assessment%20Model

SOCRAM est un modèle de simulation qui utilise les onze scénarios de planification des forces afin de déterminer le niveau de la demande opérationnelle globale. Durant un exercice de simulation, les ressources opérationnelles exigées pour un scénario donné sont sélectionnées; plusieurs scénarios peuvent être analysés concurremment. La cadence de lancement des scénarios est basée sur les données historiques des opérations exécutées par les FC [Forces canadiennes] avec un accent mis les années 90. Le résultat du modèle est une série d'évaluations des risques où le risque est défini comme la probabilité d'avoir une quantité insuffisante de ressources opérationnelles. Si les scénarios de planification sont assignés un niveau de priorité ou un poids donné, alors les conséquences de ce risque peuvent être déterminées. 1, record 6, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20d%27%C3%A9valuation%20des%20risques%20li%C3%A9s%20aux%20capacit%C3%A9s%20op%C3%A9rationnelles%20des%20sc%C3%A9narios

An insensitive munition is one that will not detonate under any conditions other than its intended mission to destroy a target. If it is struck by fragments from an explosion or hit by a bullet, it will not detonate. It also will not detonate if it is in close proximity to a target that is hit. In extreme temperatures, the missile will only burn (no detonation or explosion). 9, record 8, English, - insensitive%20ammunition
