... international law recognizes that one's status as a "citizen" is determined by domestic law, but for certain purposes, especially when a citizen is outside the boundaries of his country, international law may have an overriding effect. Thus, international law recognizes the right of a country to protect its citizens(who are known as "nationals" when they are abroad), but at that point, since this is a right recognized at international law, the definition of who is a "citizen" or "national" must be determined by international law as well. 3, record 3, English, - citizen

This notion of topological dimension has been formalized in the twentieth century on the basis of the idea of Poincaré(1905, Chap. III, S3) to let a point have zero dimension, to relate the dimension of a space to the way it can be divided by boundaries, and to use mathematical induction. Thus curves can be divided by cuts which are of zero dimension(i. e. by points) and so have one dimension, surfaces can be divided by cuts of one dimension(i. e. by curves) and so have two dimensions, etc. Cantor's middle-thirds set had no place in Euclid's Elements, of course, but it may be said to have topological dimension d=O because it is a subset of R with zero length(and so has neither breadth nor length). 2, record 15, English, - topological%20dimension

Texture observée en convection à grand facteur de forme et composée d'un large grain où l'orientation des rouleaux varie lentement, bordé de grains plus petits près des parois latérales; on note la présence de défauts linéaires et ponctuels respectivement appelés joints de grains et dislocations; les lignes épaisses marquent l'emplacement des courants descendants (d'après Pocheau et Croquette, 1984). 1, record 16, French, - dislocation

We can think of centers-attractors-which compete for influence on the plane : an initial point is driven by the process to one center or another, or it is on the boundary and cannot decide. If the parameter is changed, the regions belonging to the attractors change, and with them the boundaries. It can happen that the boundary falls to dust, and this decay is one of the most important scenarios. 3, record 18, English, - decay

Second, the point cut-off structure makes use of point score bands or point score ranges to group tops into levels. The point cut-off can be varied to create many or few levels and to improve the meaning of levels within an organization, e. g. different levels of trade skills, or appropriate distinctions in levels of managers or specialists. The boundaries of point score ranges can be adjusted to avoid stradoling clusters of jobs that the employer believes belong in the same level 1, record 20, English, - point%20cut%2Doff%20structure

In a single-crystal blade casting the first element to solidify is a "starter block" attached to the root of the [turbine] blade by a narrow helical passage in the mould. The helical passage obstructs the growth of multiple crystal boundaries, with the result that the blade is formed from a single crystal. This crystal propagates in two halves around the strong-back. The two halves of the blade can then be joined by a process called "transient liquid phase" bonding, in which the halves are mated around a foil "gasket" of the same alloy as the blade--coated with boron to reduce its melting point--and joined under pressure. The gasket and the thin layer of metal immediately adjacent to it melt, the boron dissipates completely and the part solidifies while still under pressure. As far as can be ascertained, the join produced by this means in a single-crystal blade is effectively perfect. 1, record 21, English, - gasket

Dans le procédé de coulée des aubes à structure mono-cristalline, le premier élément solidifié est un «bloc de démarrage» relié à la base de l'aube par un étroit passage hélocoïdal pratiqué dans le moule. Ce passage empêche la formation de joints multiples entre les cristaux, ce qui fait que l'aube est formée d'un seul cristal. Ce cristal se propage en deux moitiés autour de la pièce de renforcement. Les deux moitiés de l'aube sont ensuite scellées au moyen d'un procédé appelé «transient liquid phase», qui consiste à assembler les deux moitiés autour d'une feuille du même alliage que l'aube -- feuille qui est revêtue de bore pour abaisser son point de fusion -- et à les assembler ensuite sous pression. La feuille d'alliage et la fine couche de métal qui la touche entrent en fusion, le bore se dissipe complètement et la pièce se solidifie alors qu'elle est toujours sous pression. 1, record 21, French, - feuillage%20d%27alliage
