Record 6 2015-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

Air navigation is increasingly moving from traditional navigation using ground-based sensors to performance-based navigation(PBN). This involves transitioning to area navigation by implementing navigation specifications and encompasses both area navigation(RNAV) and required navigation performance(RNP).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

De plus en plus, la navigation aérienne passe de la navigation traditionnelle à l’aide de capteurs au sol à la navigation fondée sur les performances (PBN). Cette transition exige le passage vers la navigation de surface (RNAV) en mettant en place des spécifications de navigation et comprend à la fois les principes RNAV et de qualité de navigation requise (RNP).

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
DEF

A component of photochemical smog, found to be 200 times as irritating to the eyes as formaldehyde; 0,02 ppm of peroxybenzoyl nitrate in the air causes moderate to severe conjunctival irritation.

CONT

PAN and its family of compounds. The family names which we have adopted are shown. They all have logical properties, consistent properties for a family. Peroxy benzoyl nitrate is the newest member and is especially interesting because it is far the most powerful eye irritant of the lot. PBzN was discovered at General Motors two or three years ago and came to us by accident. It hasn’t been proven yet that it is the most important irritant. I just said that it is the most powerful on a ppm basis. Threshold for eye irritation is somewhere around 10 ppb of PBzN.

OBS

PBzN: In this abbreviation, the third letter is a minuscule and is sometimes a subscript.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
DEF

Substance chimique qui résulte de la photodissociation de certains dérivés d'hydrocarbures.

OBS

Le PBzN constitue un précurseur important de radicaux libres.

OBS
