The Gelderland, also known as the Gelderlander, is a warmblood horse which originated in the sandy, mid-eastern province of the same name in the Netherlands. Gelderland horses trace their ancestry to native mares of the Gelderland province who where crossed with Andalusian, Neapolitan, Norman, Norfolk Roadster and Holstein stallions. In the nineteenth century East Friesian, Oldenburg, Hackney and Thoroughbred blood was introduced. Gelderlanders were originally bred as utility horses, to work the land as well as provide transportation. Today, the Gelderland is an elegant carriage horse and also possesses talent as a show jumper. Its action is flowing and the breed has an effective high-stepping trot.

Gelderland [...] Esta raza estilizada de caballos cruzados debe su nombre al área geográfica neerlandesa de la que es originaria. En el pasado se cruzaron yeguas Gelderland nativas con sementales de distintos países como el Reino Unido, Francia y Alemania con el fin de obtener caballos de utilidad [...] A pesar de que ya no se requiere para labores del campo, siguen estando muy solicitados. Poseen una presencia imponente y resultan ideales para la exhibición y para el enganche. Algunos ejemplares [se utilizan] para la monta y, a pesar de no ser veloces, son buenos saltadores.

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Techniques
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

Altering the composition of the gaseous environment which a food product contacts reduces the rate of microbiological growth and enzymatic action, reduces the rate of oxidation, and also retards the loss of product water content through respiration of differential water-vapor pressure.... Controlled atmosphere packaging(CAP) means actually controlling the total gaseous environment the product experiences. In commercial practice, it usually means lowering the oxygen and raising the CO2 and assuring that O2 does not diminish to extinction while the respiratory gases are swept out. Controlled atmosphere packaging implies constant control over all gases : O2, CO2, H2O, and ethylene and other trace gases.

OBS

The package acts as a barrier to prevent gas from entering or leaving the container system.

OBS

The term "gas flush packaging" is sometimes used as a synonym for controlled atmosphere packaging.

DEF

Mode de conditionnement des denrées alimentaires, telles que les fruits et légumes, permettant de contrôler le phénomène de respiration de ceux-ci, grâce à des ajustements permanents en gaz.

OBS

À la différence de l'atmosphère modifiée au départ, l'atmosphère contrôlée reste identique à elle-même, tout au long du stockage quels que soient les phénomènes de respiration [...]

OBS

Dans ce cas, des appareils appropriés maintiennent les mélanges gazeux dans les proportions d'origine.

  • Food Preservation and Canning
DEF

These are trace quantities of new chemical substances produced in the food by the action of the radiation.

CONT

Many attempts were made to find unique radiolytic products (URPs) in radiation-processed foods, and none were successful. At one time otyrosine ... was thought to be a URP in irradiated meat.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conservation des aliments et conserverie
DEF

Substance particulière et peut-être toxique pouvant se former dans certains aliments irradiés. (CT, d'après Mills, S., Le point sur l'irradiation des aliments, page 34).

CONT

Certains opposants soutiennent, [...] que les chercheurs ne sont pas parvenus jusqu'ici à prouver la non-toxicité de certains produits radiolytiques uniques qu'on retrouve dans les aliments irradiés.

OBS

Les méthodes classiques de transformation et l'irradiation des aliments engendrent les mêmes types de produits. Jusqu'à maintenant, aucun composé particulier aux aliments irradiés n'a été découvert.

OBS

L'existence de produits radiolytiques uniques dans les aliments n'a pas été démontrée jusqu'ici. Cette action est une des inquiétudes concernant la formation de produits toxiques dans les aliments soumis à la radiation.

  • Medical Instruments and Devices
CONT

Current devices licensed for administration of smallpox vaccine in the United States include the bifurcated needle... The objective is to penetrate the stratum corneum layer of the skin and deliver a small amount of vaccine to the deep epidermis.... This simple device is easy to use, uses a very small amount(0. 0025 ml) of smallpox vaccine, and provides standardization of vaccine administration. The needle is dipped into reconstituted vaccine and the small volume is held between the two tines by capillary action.... WHO [World Health Organization] and CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines call for the needle to be held at a 90° angle(perpendicular) to the skin and the vaccine administered by 15 strokes to an area of about 5 mm diameter. The strokes should be sufficiently vigorous to produce a trace of blood at the vaccination site.

CONT

The bifurcated needle is approximately 2-1/2 inches long with a very small two-pronged needle at one end. The prongs have a very small opening between them that holds the vaccine to be applied to the arm. The prongs are 1/16 inches long and are used to pierce the outer layer of the skin only.

CONT

L'inoculation par scarification du virus de la vaccine s'effectue à l'aide d'une aiguille bifurquée à usage unique. Une goutte de vaccin est placée sur l'aiguille soit après [insertion de] l'aiguille dans le flacon du vaccin, soit par dépôt entre les deux dents de l'aiguille d'une goutte par capillarité. Une goutte de vaccin représente 1 µL, soit une dose unitaire de vaccin. [...] Le vaccin est [...] inoculé par petits coups rapides (10 à 15 fois) de façon perpendiculaire à la peau, sur une zone de 5 mm de diamètre [...], dans le derme sur la face extérieure du bras au-dessus de l'insertion distale du deltoïde. Les petits coups doivent être suffisamment importants pour qu'une trace de sang apparaisse au niveau de l'inoculation 15 à 30 s après.

CONT

[...] il a été démontré que l'utilisation d'une aiguille bifurquée [...] permet une vaccination à l'aide de très faibles quantités de vaccin (un microlitre, contre 10 microlitres pour la scarification, et 50 microlitres pour la bague de multipuncture).

Gestural communication is an ubiquitous part of collaboration in both physical and virtual shared workspaces. Gestures are used to indicate objects or locations to others, to trace paths, and to demonstrate an action or manipulations before it happens. However, gestural communication with telepointers is often hard to see and hard to interpret. This is because telepointers are small, gestures usually happen quickly, and network delays often make telepointer motion jumpy compared with a local mouse cursor.

CONT

La communication gestuelle avec une machine fait appel aux moyens de communication humains naturels. Certains signes, plus ou moins universels, sont utilisés instinctivement dans certaines situations : confirmation, désapprobation, expression d'une envergure, ou de «passage à la suite». De plus l'interaction gestuelle se rapproche de la manipulation directe des objets dans le monde réel : il est possible avec une interface gestuelle de prendre explicitement des objets, au lieu d'avoir à se satisfaire d'une métaphore de préhension symbolisée par l'enfoncement du bouton d'une souris.
