En chimie, l'encapsulation consiste à enfermer une substance dans une capsule. L'objectif est : - soit de protéger la substance contre des interactions avec le milieu extérieur. On encapsule par exemple certains filtres [ultraviolets] UV contenus dans les crèmes solaires pour les stabiliser et les empêcher d'irriter la peau; - soit de transporter la substance jusqu'à l'endroit où elle sera libérée pour agir. Les liposomes par exemple sont des sphères utilisées pour transporter les substances actives des cosmétiques dans la peau. Selon la taille des capsules, on parle de microencapsulation (dimension de l'ordre du micromètre) ou de nanoencapsulation (dimension de l'ordre du nanomètre). 2, record 6, French, - nanoencapsulation

The new design methods will also radically change the handling of drawings. All the information required can be collected from the data base. As information is stored in one place only and is automatically transferred without manual intervention, it is possible to achieve the target of zero errors. The "scale-less site" has changed the site structure and procedures so that they fit into an efficient design process. 3-D design permits the correct amounts of building materials to be delivered in the exact form to the site or site factory for efficient assembly. We have obtained an industrialised process that is characterised by : Better working conditions; Ecological building; Functionally correct buildings; Quality; Radically shorter design times; Lower costs. 1, record 7, English, - site%20factory

Generally it states that : nuclei of GCR [galactic cosmic radiation] slowed down as a result of ionization losses, GCR primaries are fragmented as they interact in materials and continue to transport fragments(projectile secondaries), recoil neutrons are formed from proton and neutron collisions, and neutrons, protons and alphas(target secondaries) are produced in inelastic proton collisions. 1, record 9, English, - recoil%20neutron

Optical remote sensing makes use of visible, near infrared and short-wave infrared sensors to form images of the earth's surface by detecting the solar radiation reflected from targets on the ground. Different materials reflect and absorb differently at different wavelengths. When solar radiation hits a target surface, it may be transmitted, absorbed or reflected. Different materials reflect and absorb differently at different wavelengths. The reflectance spectrum of a material is a plot of the fraction of radiation reflected as a function of the incident wavelength and serves as a unique signature for the material. 1, record 14, English, - reflectance%20spectrum

Sputtering targets, usually in the form of simple circular or rectangular plates that may be comprised of a wide variety of materials, are bombarded by gas ions that transfer their momentum to particles of the target, ejecting them into the vacuum chamber that houses the entire operation. These particles are then deposited in a thin film on strategically located substrates. Of primary concern for sputtering applications are the purity, density, and homogeneity of the sputtering target material. 1, record 15, English, - sputtering%20target
