Northeast of Axel Heibert, the gravity and magnetic anomaly signature of sedimentary depocentres is largely absent or subdued. This may be because the shelf to the southwest has been receiving sediments from an extensive interisland drainage system throughout the Tertiary, whereas deposition north of Ellesmere Island has been more limited because of a less effective transport system, a more restricted sediment source and tectonic developments associated with the Alpha Ridge. 1, record 1, English, - subdued%20sedimentary%20depocentre

Si le sens du terme anglais est «non primary-sector business income source», l'expression se rendra par «source de revenus tirés d'une entreprise d'un secteur autre que le secteur primaire» ou «source de revenus non tirés d'une entreprise du secteur primaire». En économie, le secteur primaire est celui des matières premières; le secteur secondaire, celui de la transformation et des produits manufacturés; et le secteur tertiaire, celui des services. 2, record 2, French, - source%20de%20revenus%20non%20tir%C3%A9s%20principalement%20d%27une%20entreprise

Ethanol can also be reacted with isobutylene to form ethyl tertiary butyl ether(ETBE), which provides all the benefits of direct ethanol blends while reducing the vapor pressure of the gasoline mixture, thereby decreasing evaporative emissions that also contribute to smog formation.

On peut aussi faire réagir l'éthanol avec l'isobutylène pour former de l'éther de t-butyle et d'éthyle (ETBE) qui procure tous les avantages des mélanges directs d'éthanol tout en réduisant la tension de vapeur du mélange d'essence, ce qui abaisse du coup l'évaporation de carburant, une autre source de smog.
