Pour éviter des déformations géométriques dans les angles des écrans des micro-ordinateurs, l'image n'occupe qu'environ 90 % de la surface du tube cathodique. Le format informatique de l'image est donc plus petit que le format de balayage vidéo de l'écran. Dans un certain nombre de dispositifs de conversion vidéo, cet écart est conservé hors de la transformation des images informatiques en images vidéo. Pour des applications de type création graphique, animation, incrustation d'images informatiques, cet écart est très gênant. Certains constructeurs permettent alors, de choisir le format d'affichage vidéo de l'image. Un premier réglage (mode «underscan») permet de conserver l'image informatique dans sa taille initiale. Elle apparaît donc sur le moniteur vidéo exactement comme sur l'écran informatique avec les bordures noires habituelles. Un deuxième réglage (mode «overscan») agrandit l'image informatique de manière à ce qu'elle occupe toute la surface du moniteur vidéo. 4, record 8, French, - surbalayage

Supercell [is] a thunderstorm with a persistent rotating updraft. Supercells are rare, but are responsible for a remarkably high percentage of severe weather events-especially tornadoes, extremely large hail and damaging straight-line winds. They frequently travel to the right of the main environmental winds(i. e., they are right movers). Radar characteristics often(but not always) include a hook or pendant, bounded weak echo region(BWER), V-notch, mesocyclone, and sometimes a TVS [Tornado Vortex Signature]. Visual characteristics often include a rain-free base(with or without a wall cloud), tail cloud, flanking line, overshooting top, and back-sheared anvil, all of which normally are observed in or near the right rear or southwest part of the storm. Storms exhibiting these characteristics often are called classic supercells; however HP(High Precipitation) storms and LP(Low Precipitation) storms also are supercell varieties. 3, record 9, English, - classic%20supercell

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, are a group of chemicals that are used as flame retardants in a variety of polymer resins and plastics. They are found in many products in most homes and businesses, including furniture, TVs, stereos, computers, carpets, and curtains. PBDEs are also used, to a lesser degree, in some textiles, adhesives, sealants and coatings.... PBDEs are ubiquitous, global environmental pollutants that are present in all parts of the environment, and can be found in samples taken virtually anywhere. They are harmful to the environment, build up in living organisms, and last a long time in the environment. 5, record 11, English, - polybrominated%20diphenyl%20ether

Les polybromodiphényléthers, ou PBDÉ, forment un groupe de produits chimiques utilisés comme ignifuges dans diverses résines ou plastiques polymères. Ils entrent dans la composition de bon nombre de produits d'usage courant dans la plupart des maisons et des entreprises, entre autres les meubles, les téléviseurs, les chaînes stéréophoniques, les ordinateurs, les tapis et les rideaux. On trouve également des PBDÉ, à un moindre degré, dans certains textiles, adhésifs, agents de scellement ou enduits. [...] Les PBDÉ sont des polluants globaux [sic : anglicisme au sens de polluants mondiaux] qui sont omniprésents dans le milieu. Leur présence est signalée partout dans l'environnement, dans les échantillons qui sont prélevés à peu près n'importe où. Sur le plan de l'environnement, ils sont nocifs et persistants. Qui plus est, ils s'accumulent dans les organismes vivants. 6, record 11, French, - %C3%A9ther%20diph%C3%A9nylique%20polybrom%C3%A9
