We report the cDNA deduced primary structure of a wheat germ agglutinin-reactive nuclear pore complex(NPC) protein of rat. The protein, termed Nup98(for nucleoporin of 98 kDa), contains numerous GLFG and FG repeats and some FXFG repeats and is thus a vertebrate member of a family of GLFG nucleoporins that were previously discovered in yeast. 1, record 2, English, - nucleoporin

The difference between the filter mechanism established by thick geotextiles, compared with that established by thin geotextiles, is another drawback of strip drains. With the thin geotextile, the very fine soil particles initially pass through, leaving the large soil particles to bridge across the pore openings in the geotextile surface. This process induces a beneficial filter layer within the adjacent soil. In the case of the thick felt-like geotextiles used for strip drains the pore structure is complex and the soil particles do not readily pass completely through. 2, record 3, English, - thick%20geotextile

[Fabrication d'un géotextile] Non-tissé épais. Ces matériaux très volumineux, et à structure très lâche sont très souvent réalisés à partir de fil monofilament de gros calibre (diamètre élémentaire de l'ordre de quelques 1/10 de mm). La réception de ces fils a lieu sur un convoyeur, de sorte que la température de ceux-ci soit voisine du point de collage de la matière. Une liaison entre les brins s'opère, puis un brusque refroidissement dans l'eau fige les points de collage. Selon la forme du tablier de réception des monofilaments, on peut atteindre des épaisseurs de nappes de l'ordre de 30 à 40 mm. 3, record 3, French, - g%C3%A9otextile%20%C3%A9pais

Clogging, blocking and blinding. If the geotextile pore openings are slightly too small, then there will be insufficient initial wash-through of fine soil particles to promote the rapid formation of an efficient graded filter in the adjacent soil. Where the geotextile pore openings are even smaller, then there is a serious risk that either blinding, severe blocking or severe clogging will develop with time. Blocking is where soil particles resting on the surface of the geotextile, either totally or partially obstruct the pore openings.... Blinding is a special form of severe blocking, where the soil grading permits the suffusion of fine soil particles which are too large to pass through the geotextile.... Where the size of many of the soil particles is very close to that of the geotextile pore openings, then they are likely to enter the pores and become trapped within the geotextile. This can cause severe clogging which is most likely to arise in thick non-woven geotextiles with a complex pore structure. 3, record 5, English, - clogging
