River channel patterns are thought to form a morphological continuum. This continuum is two-dimensional, defined by plan features of which there are three(straight, meandering, branching), and structural levels of fluvial relief of which there are also three(floodplain, flood channel, low-water channel). 2, record 1, English, - river%20channel%20pattern

Les variables qui permettent de distinguer les UEA [unités écologiques aquatiques] sont principalement l'environnement d'écoulement (lentique, humide, lotique, estuarien), le substrat (rocheux, argileux, semi-alluvial, alluvial), les formes alluviales (delta, cône, plaine alluviale) et les différents styles fluviaux (linéaire, rectifié, seuil-mouille, méandres, divagant, etc.). 3, record 1, French, - style%20fluvial

K+ channels are ubiquitous membrane proteins, which have a central role in the control of cell excitability. In the heart, voltage-gated delayed rectifier K+ channels, like Kv1. 5, determine repolarization and the cardiac action potential plateau duration. Here we review the broader properties of cloned voltage-gated K+ channels with specific reference to the hKv1. 5 channel in heart. We discuss the basic structural components of K+ channels such as the pore, voltage sensor, and fast inactivation, all of which have been extensively studied. 3, record 2, English, - delayed%20rectifier%20K%2B%20channel

Les canaux K+ sont des protéines membranaires ubiquistes qui ont rôle central dans le contrôle de l'excitabilité des cellules. Dans le cœur, les canaux K+ rectifiants retardés potentiel-dépendants, tels que le Kv1.5, déterminent la repolarisation et la durée du plateau du potentiel d'action cardiaque. Dans cet article, nous révisons les propriétés générales de canaux K+ potentiel-dépendants clonés, en nous intéressant particulièrement au canal de type hKv1.5 cardiaque. Nous discutons des constituants structuraux de base bien connus des canaux K+, tels que le pore, celui détectant le potentiel membranaire et l'inactivation rapide. 1, record 2, French, - canal%20K%2B%20rectifiant%20retard%C3%A9

The Special Program of Assistance for Africa(SPA) was established in 1987 as a response to the economic crises of the debt-distressed countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. An informal association of donors, the SPA was intended to support the countries structural adjustment programs with the International Development Association and the International Monetary Fund. The SPA did respond to the challenge. Free of the restrictive formality of other fora, donors were able to test ideas and develop a mutual understanding. High-level donor representation provided the opportunity for meaningful interactions with World Bank and IMF policy makers. The SPA helped to channel substantial quick-disbursing aid. Through peer pressure, it improved donor procedures. It broadened its agenda to address structural impediments to broad-based development. It provided a platform for frank and open exchanges on Africa's economic and social policy issues. It facilitated a convergence of development assistance goals and practices while preserving flexibility. 1, record 3, English, - Special%20Program%20of%20Assistance%20for%20Africa

Le Programme spécial d'assistance à l'Afrique (PSA) a été lancé en 1987 en réaction à la crise économique qui sévissait dans les pays lourdement endettés d'Afrique subsaharienne. Association informelle de donateurs, il visait à soutenir les programmes d'ajustement structurel de ces pays conjointement avec l'Association internationale de développement et le Fonds monétaire international. Le PSA a relevé le défi. Exempt du formalisme contraignant des autres instances, il a permis de tester des idées nouvelles et de développer la compréhension mutuelle entre les donateurs. Grâce à une représentation de haut niveau, ceux-ci ont pu avoir des échanges constructifs avec les responsables de la Banque mondiale et du FMI. Le PSA a permis d'acheminer une aide à décaissement rapide importante. Sous la pression des pairs, les donateurs ont amélioré leurs procédures. Le programme d'action a été élargi pour tenter de résoudre les problèmes structurels qui font obstacle au développement général. Le PSA a servi de base à des échanges francs et ouverts sur les questions économiques et sociales qui se posent en Afrique. Il a favorisé la convergence des buts et des pratiques en matière d'aide au développement tout en préservant la flexibilité. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20sp%C3%A9cial%20d%27assistance%20%C3%A0%20l%27Afrique
