There are thousands of telecommunications operators in the world. For global service one can select a global carrier or a country-specific carrier with an international offering. And, as the Yankee Group suggests in a report entitled What Next for Global Carriers?, the future may offer even more options "as companies in adjacent sectors such as Internet service providers, applications service providers and systems integrators begin to target major network users and seek to gain control of the relationship with customers.

Whereas a carrier squadron could rotate aircraft to and from a contact area, a destroyer could not because the helicopter would have to return to the ship periodically to refuel.

C’est ce que l’on appelle le «temps mort»; c’était une période au cours de laquelle le sous-marin surveillé avait une chance de s’échapper. 1, record 3, French, - temps%20mort

The physical adsorption method for the immobilization of enzyme is based on the physical adsorption of enzyme protein on the surface of water-insoluble carriers. This method often causes little or no conformational change of the enzyme protein, or destruction of its active center. Accordingly, if a suitable carrier for the target enzyme is found, this method may be both simple and effective. However, this method has the disadvantage that the adsorbed enzyme may leak from the carrier during utilization, because the binding force between the enzyme protein and carrier is weak. 1, record 8, English, - adsorbed%20enzyme

L'immobilisation par adsorption met en jeu un grand nombre de forces d'interactions de faible énergie entre le support solide et la protéine : interactions de Van der WAALS, liaisons hydrogène ou liaisons hydrophobes. (...) Différents paramètres vont influer sur la quantité d'enzyme fixée et sur la solidité des liaisons créées. - Concentration en protéine enzymatique (...) - Force ionique du milieu (...) - Température (...) - pH (...) - Taille des particules et nature du support : La masse d'enzyme adsorbée croît avec l'aire spécifique et donc avec la finesse des particules du support, mais en deçà d'une certaine taille, les risques de colmatage dans les réacteurs deviennent importants. 1, record 8, French, - enzyme%20adsorb%C3%A9e
