An index used to gage the severity of drought conditions by using a water balance equation to track water supply and demand.  7, record 3, English, - Palmer%20drought%20severity%20index

The Palmer Index was developed by Wayne Palmer in the 1960s and uses temperature and rainfall information in a formula to determine dryness. It has become the semi-official drought index. The Palmer Index is most effective in determining long term drought-a matter of several months-and is not as good with short-term forecasts (a matter of weeks). It uses a 0 as normal, and drought is shown in terms of minus numbers; for example, minus 2 is moderate drought, minus 3 is severe drought, and minus 4 is extreme drought. ... The Palmer Index can also reflect excess rain using a corresponding level reflected by plus figures; i.e., 0 is normal, plus 2 is moderate rainfall, etc.  8, record 3, English, - Palmer%20drought%20severity%20index

Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) ... compares the actual amount of precipitation received in an area during a specified period with the normal or average amount expected during that same period. It was developed to measure lack of moisture over a relatively long period of time and is based on the supply and demand concept of a water balance equation. Included in the equation are amount of evaporation, soil recharge, and runoff and temperature and precipitation data.  9, record 3, English, - Palmer%20drought%20severity%20index

PALMER DROUGHT INDEX [is] a long-term meteorological drought severity index produced by the NOAA/USDA (Department of Agriculture) Joint Agricultural Weather Facility [that] depicts prolonged times, as in months or years, of abnormal dryness or wetness [over large regions]. It responds slowly, changing little from week to week, and reflects long-term moisture runoff, recharge, and deep percolation, as well as evapotranspiration.  10, record 3, English, - Palmer%20drought%20severity%20index

Il est donc évident que les États-Unis reçoivent plus de pluies, plutôt que l'inverse. Cela peut se vérifier en examinant les indices hydrologiques, tels que l'indice Palmer de gravité de sécheresse qui mesure à la fois les sécheresses et les précipitations extrêmes.  5, record 3, French, - indice%20de%20s%C3%A9v%C3%A9rit%C3%A9%20de%20s%C3%A9cheresse%20de%20Palmer

De nombreux indices de sécheresse ont été élaborés pour tenter de combiner les divers paramètres influant sur les sécheresses en un chiffre unique. À titre d'exemple, citons l'indice de précipitation cumulative, fondé sur un paramètre unique, celui des précipitations, et l'indice Palmer de gravité de sécheresse, plus complexe, basé sur une analyse en profondeur du bilan des eaux superficielles et une comparaison entre les valeurs réelles et les valeurs possibles compte tenu du climat.  6, record 3, French, - indice%20de%20s%C3%A9v%C3%A9rit%C3%A9%20de%20s%C3%A9cheresse%20de%20Palmer

This shovel is widely used for stone loading. Various models are available to meet particular conditions of track gage, mine car size or headroom available. The loading bucket, mounted on a rocker arm, is pushed forward into the pile of debris; the rocker arm is then actuated to swing the loaded bucket over the rocker carriage and to deliver the bucket load into a mine car or, in the case of one of the models, on to a variable-speed belt conveyor which in turn delivers into the mine car. The machines operate on a rail track and, swivelling on the carriage, can sweep across the width of the heading. On raising the bucket for discharge, the device is self-centering.  1, record 5, English, - Eimco%20rocker%20shovel

Sur le fond AB de (...) [la] caisse, peut rouler sans glissement un berceau ab solidaire du godet V; la longueur de la courbe ab est exactement la même que celle de la droite AB; de sorte que, par roulement, le berceau ab vient occuper la position opposée a[prime] b[prime]. La position du berceau au chargement est ab. Il suffit alors de faire avancer la chargeuse sur les rails pour que le godet se remplisse. Au contraire, a[prime] b[prime] correspond au remplissage de la berline dans laquelle le godet se vide. Le mouvement de roulement est obtenu par le treuil T sur lequel s'enroule une chaîne passant sur la poulie de contrainte p et aboutissant au berceau en C. Dans la position de déchargement, C occupe la position C[prime]. Le godet revient ensuite à sa position de chargement, la rotation du treuil étant inversée et la pesanteur aidant.  1, record 5, French, - chargeuse%20%C3%A0%20godet%20Eimco
