Ideally a calculation of the terminal kill probabilities of warheads attacking a set of different silos requires detailed knowledge of which particular silo is to be targeted and by what warhead.... The TKP value of a warhead indicates the chances that this warhead will destroy a known hardened target.

Volatile, synthetic pesticide poisons are biologically disruptive, basically untested, toxic chemicals, designed to kill. Many of our most commonly used pesticide poisons are neurotoxins which were developed as an outgrowth of poisonous nerve gas research, during World War II.

Les mémoires se rapportent [...] aux pesticides, notamment en distinguant les pesticides chimiques, de synthèse ou biologiques, mais sans fournir clairement de définition. Cependant, des précisions apportées [...] permettent de les distinguer de différentes façons. Pour plusieurs, les pesticides de synthèse sont des produits créés par l'homme ou présents dans la nature et recopiés en laboratoire. Pour d'autres, les pesticides de synthèse sont des produits de laboratoire qui n'existent pas dans la nature. L'origine du produit est donc déterminante dans l'identification du type de pesticide. Quant aux biopesticides, chacun y va de sa définition, y incluant ou non des pesticides chimiques tels que l'huile de dormance ou le savon insecticide ou des organismes vivants tels que les insectes prédateurs. Pour la grande majorité, ce sont des produits qui existent dans la nature ou dont les molécules sont naturelles [...] Dans environ un sixième des mémoires, il est suggéré d'introduire une taxe sur l'ensemble des pesticides de synthèse (chimiques), ou alors seulement sur les pesticides de synthèse utilisés à des fins cosmétiques et domestiques. 2, record 4, French, - pesticide%20de%20synth%C3%A8se

Les pesticides de synthèse sont communément appelés «pesticides chimiques» mais il est préférable de distinguer ces deux concepts, puisqu'il n'est pas totalement exclu que des pesticides de synthèse soient fabriqués à partir de constituants non chimiques, tout comme il n'est pas exclu que des pesticides chimiques puissent exister à l'état naturel.

The term Attract & Kill(or Lure and Kill) is normally used for pheromone(or other attractant) based control methods that use an insecticide to kill the target pest. Mass Trapping, as the name implies, depends on the use of a mechanical device(insect trap) to remove the insect from the population. From a theoretical point of view, the approaches are very similar. Both methods rely on attracting the pest to a pheromone(or other attractant) source and removing the insect from the breeding population. 2, record 10, English, - mass%20trapping

A variation of the mixed lymphocyte culture(MLC) techniques that is a functional test of the ability of cytotoxic lymphocytes(CTL) to kill target cells. Lymphocytes from two individuals are cultured together for several days, one population having been prevented from proliferating by treatment with radiation or mitomycin(a "one-way" MLC) ;they are then cultured for several hours with 51CR-labeled target cells that are HLA-identical to the stimulator cells. Cytotoxicity is measured as percentage of 51CR released from specific target cells compared to percentage of 51CR released from control(nonspecific target) cells. 1, record 14, English, - cell%2Dmediated%20lympholysis

Test de cytotoxicité à médiation lymphocytaire. Lorsque des lymphocytes provenant de deux populations allogéniques différentes sont mis en présence dans un tube, on assiste à l'apparition de lymphoblastes (ce qui définit la réaction lymphocytaire mixte), mais aussi à celle d'une génération de cellules T cytotoxiques spécifiques. C'est la réaction de lymphocytotoxicité à médiation cellulaire appelée en anglais "cell mediated lympholysis". 1, record 14, French, - cytotoxicit%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20m%C3%A9diation%20lymphocytaire
