The passivity of metals and alloys is one of the most important phenomenon responsible for out metal-based civilization. Most structural metals are viable in an engineering sense only because of the existence of a surface oxide film whose thickness may be less than a few nanometers. Although the phenomenon of passivity has been known for more than 150 years, a satisfactory description of the passive state still eludes us. 4, record 4, English, - passivity

The materials of the parent bodies from which a new individual develops are its actual heritage. During its own embryonic development, the potentialities of this heritage are expressed in the structural characteristics of the new body, normally like those of the parents or those of a more remote generation of ancestors. This fact leads to the statement that the organism inherits certain characters; although this may not be precisely true, the interpretation is permissible for ordinary purposes of description. 2, record 5, English, - heredity

Cet ensemble de caractères et potentialités inclut aussi bien ceux qui sont communs à tous les membres du groupe taxinomique auquel appartient l'individu considéré (hérédité générale) que ceux qui éventuellement le singularise à l'intérieur de ce groupe (hérédité spéciale). Pour sa part essentielle, l'hérédité résulte de l'aptitude à l'auto-reproduction conforme des molécules d'ADN (ou d'ARN pour certains virus), dont l'ensemble constitue ce qui est appelé le matériel génétique. Chez les eucaryotes, le matériel génétique est surtout localisé dans les chromosomes, mais il existe également dans les mitochondries et les plastes et peut-être dans d'autres organismes cytoplasmiques. A côté de cette hérédité fondamentale, que l'on peut qualifier de nucléique, on observe, chez certains organismes deux autres mécanismes pouvant assurer la persistance de variations héréditaires. Ils correspondent à ce qui est appelé l'hérédité de régime et l'hérédité de germe. 2, record 5, French, - h%C3%A9r%C3%A9dit%C3%A9
