Capillary condensation is said to occur when, in porous solids, multilayer adsorption from a vapour proceeds to the point at which pore spaces are filled with liquid separated from the gas phase by menisci. The concept loses its sense when the dimensions of the pores are so small that the term meniscus ceases to have a physical significance. Capillary condensation is often accompanied by hysteresis.  1, record 1, English, - capillary%20condensation

A number is complex when it is made up of two parts, which are called real and imaginary. These terms no longer have any special significance : the two parts of a complex number might as well be called Humpty and Dumpty. Thus 7 + 4i is a complex number with real part 7(Humpty) and imaginary part 4i(Dumpty). The i next to the 4 shows which part of the complex number is imaginary. Every complex number can be represented by a point in the plane; the plane of complex numbers is called the complex plane... The complex plane is an unaccountable infinity of such numbers. Their real parts and their inspima parts can be either positive or negative and either whole numbers or decimal expansions.  2, record 2, English, - complex%20plane

Representing the evolution in time of a dynamic system by left shifts of the digits in a suitable number system brings out another important property of systems for which such a representation is possible. No matter how accurately the initial condition x₀ of a coordinate is known, the accuracy will always be finite, that is, the digits of x₀ to the right of the last known digit will be unknown. As the dynamic system evolves in time, the unknown digits will be shifted to the left; that is, they will grow in significance, and will sooner or later arrive at the "decimal" point and thus dominate the behavior of the system. And because the digits are unknown, this behavior will be completely unpredictable. The resulting motion is called chaotic.  2, record 3, English, - chaotic

Se dit de structures ou de systèmes dont on ne peut prédire l'évolution à partir d'un état initial donné, ni d'états connus pour une longue période de temps, et dans lesquels un changement infime, se propageant en cascade, peut provoquer des modifications subites importantes.  2, record 3, French, - chaotique

Qualifie une situation qui évolue de façon irrégulière, mais dont les lois sous-jacentes sont relativement simples et ne laissent aucune place au hasard. Ainsi, un régime périodique peut devenir chaotique par intensification de déstabilisations intermittentes, par cascade de doublement de période ou via la quasi-périodicité. S'oppose à «non chaotique». Certains auteurs attribuent à ce terme le sens «erratique», «aléatoire», «désordonné» (sens usuel en langage courant).  2, record 3, French, - chaotique

On a national basis the overall accuracy of the current Canadian SO₂ emissions inventory is estimated to be + 30% at a 75% confidence level(2) The accuracy varies widely for each sector of emissions and within each sector, and is far greater for the major point sources..., which together represent more than half of total Canadian emissions, than for sources of lesser significance. An uncertainty analysis has not been carried out for NO_x emissions.  1, record 8, English, - uncertainty%20analysis
