CAN COMBUSTION CHAMBER. The can combustion chamber is used mainly on older centrifugal compressor engines. Airflow is ducted to individual combustion cans that are arranged around the circumference of the burner section. Each can contains its own fuel nozzle, burner liner, and casing. Advantages include its strength and durability, combined with the ease of maintenance. Disadvantages include poor use of space in the chamber, greater pressure loss, and uneven heat distribution to the turbine section. 2, record 3, English, - burner%20liner

In Costa Rica, 95% of the farmers fence with living trees instead of dead posts... Farmers establish living fences by planting large cuttings about 2. 5 m long and 8-20 cm in diameter, attaching several strands of barbed wire to them... Living fences are usually pruned once a year to keep them in good shape and to avoid damage to the wire... Living fences are comparatively cost-effective, need careful establishment and regular maintenance, are long-lived, provide numerous products and benefits besides fencing, are difficult to remove, and are very popular among poor farmers. Dead fences, by contrast, are expensive, require much labor to establish, need some maintenance, are of limited durability, are easy to remove, provide no other products, but are more prestigious than living fences. 3, record 7, English, - live%20fence

Advanced teleoperation... Maintenance, repair, and dismantling operations in nuclear facilities must be performed remotely when radiation doses impede hands-on operation, but also to minimize contamination risks and occupational doses to the operators. Computer-aided and sensor-based teleoperation enhances safety, reliability, and performance by helping the operator in difficult tasks with poor remote environmental perception... To show the feasibility of radiation-hardened sensors in advanced teleoperation, we are constructing a telerobotics sensing demonstration workcell. 1, record 9, English, - advanced%20teleoperation
