After grain was placed in the bin, a standard compartmentalized grain probe was used to obtain grain samples along the diameter of the bin at 30-cm intervals, starting at a point 15 cm from the bin wall. The grain probe was 3 m long, with compartments at 14-cm intervals. Samples from each two adjacent compartments in the probe were combined and screened with appropriate sieves to determine the fine material content. The percentages of fine material content in each sample established the distribution of fine material in the bin. 2, record 2, English, - compartmentalized%20grain%20probe

... the scanning thermal microscope... The microscope's probe may be the world's tiniest thermometer : it can measure surface-temperature variations of a ten-thousandth of a degree on a scale of tens of nanometers. The probe consists of a tungsten wire ending in a point perhaps 30 nanometers across. The wire is coated with a second metal, nickel, which is separated from the tungsten by a layer of insulator everywhere except at the tip of the probe. The tungsten-nickel junction acts as a thermocouple, generating a voltage proportional to its temperature. 2, record 6, English, - scanning%20thermal%20microscope

[Avalanche Victim Search. ] The initial search involves a fast scan of the entire area where victims might be found(that is, from the last seen point, within the perimeters of the avalanche, and in the deposition areas). It concentrates on likely areas of burial in addition to listening for transceiver signals and looking for clues on the surface. Initial searchers should be equipped with transceivers, probe, and shovel as well as a few wands if available. Do a visual search for clues on the surface(that is, hand, foot, clothing, and equipment). Call out occasionally and listen for responses from victims. Pull any items found out on the snow to see if a victim is attached. Mark the location of found items and bring them to the attention of the rescue leader. Listen carefully for transceiver signals in these locations.(If victims were not wearing transceivers or if is unknown whether transceivers were used, quickly probe the area around found items.) If a transceiver signal is found, carry out a transceiver search. If there is more than one person buried, the initial search continues to look for visual clues, etc. 2, record 12, English, - visual%20search%20for%20surface%20clues

La microscopie à effet tunnel permet d'obtenir des images de la surface de matériaux conducteurs dans différents environnements. Contrairement aux microscopes électroniques à transmission ou à balayage, on peut, avec un STM, obtenir des images à l'air ou même dans un liquide. En première approximation, ces images reproduisent la carte des iso densités d'électrons des atomes de la surface. Quand les maxima de densité sont localisés sur les atomes (cas le plus fréquent), les images STM peuvent représenter la cartographie, à résolution atomique, de la surface explorée. Dans ce cas, chaque protubérance dans l'image correspond à un atome. 3, record 13, French, - image%20STM

A technique used to stabilise fine-grained soils or coarser soils where normal methods of groundwater control might cause stability problems, to allow of excavation below the water table. Freezing imparts strength and impermeability to the ground and can be carried out either by circulating cooled brine through tubes(freeze probes) in the ground or by applying a refrigerant(e. g. liquid nitrogen) directly into the probe and allowing it to evaporate at the primary point where cooling is required. 1, record 15, English, - ground%20freezing

En tant que technique de consolidation provisoire des terrains aquifères, la congélation est connue depuis longtemps [...] Congeler un sol, c'est transformer en glace l'eau contenue dans ce sol [...] Le tube congélateur [...] permet de transférer au terrain les frigories nécessaires à la transformation de l'eau en glace [...] L'apport du froid au terrain peut se faire de deux manières différentes : circulation d'un liquide refroidi (liquide frigoporteur) en circuit fermé. C'est le cas de la congélation à la saumure; circulation d'un liquide frigorigène dont la détente (ébullition) produit du froid directement au niveau du congélateur. C'est la méthode de congélation à l'azote liquide. 1, record 15, French, - cong%C3%A9lation
