Rope generally consists of three or more strands cabled or braided together, with or without a core, with a finished diameter of not less than 4 mm. Based on construction, ropes are grouped into laid and braided. In the laid rope, fibres are twisted into rope yarn and two more yarns are twisted in the opposite direction to produce folded yarns. Three or four folded yarns are laid in the direction opposite to the twist of folded yarns to produce the laid rope. 1, record 1, English, - laid

Twist. The tips of a WT [wind turbine] blade move through the air faster than the roots in the direction of rotation, but the oncoming wind speed is similar at all points along the blade.

If the grounded-grid amplifier were a perfect amplifier, a bent signal would be amplified bent. However, the grounded-grid amplifier, like all amplifiers, is not perfect; it bends just as much as the cathode follower does. Now, do the two circuits bend in the same direction or opposite directions? Since the common-cathode produces such a clean output, the answer can only be that they bend in opposite directions, so the grounded-grid amplifier undoes the cathode follower's twist of the signal by twisting in the other direction. 1, record 9, English, - grounded%2Dgrid%20amplifier

Cotton : Origine végétale. Fibre textile constituée par les filaments soyeux enveloppant les graines de coton. [...] La fibre de coton est constituée par 87 % de cellulose, de l'eau, des cendres, des protides, de la cire et des pectines. Sa densité est de 1,5. Susceptible de retenir une grande humidité (8,5 % de son poids en eau), son pouvoir calorifique est moyen. Le coton est assez bon conducteur de la chaleur. Son caractère principal est sa longueur; celle-ci, selon les espèces, va de 1 à 4 cm. Les cotons les plus longs sont les plus fins. Ils sont classés suivant les pays producteurs. 3, record 15, French, - fibre%20de%20coton
