The amount of work that must be done per unit quantity of pure water in order to transport reversibly and isothermally an infinitesimal quantity of water from a pool of pure water, at a specified elevation and at atmospheric pressure, to a pool of water identical in composition with the soil water at the point under consideration, but in all other respects being identical with the reference pool. 5, record 1, English, - osmotic%20potential

... solute potential. The tendency for water to undergo phase changes or to pass through membranes is controlled by the presence of solutes in the water. This is important in soil for two reasons :(1) evaporation of soil water is an important phase change,(2) water flow from soil into cells of organisms, including plant roots, requires transport through membranes.... As with matric potential, solute potential is never positive; it can be negative for impure water, or approximately zero for very pure water. Solute potential is also called osmotic potential, because the process of passing selectively through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. 4, record 1, English, - osmotic%20potential

Reactor Vessel and Internals … The core plate consists of a circular plate with round openings. The core plate provides lateral support and guidance for the control rod guide tubes, in-core flux monitor guide tubes, peripheral fuel supports, and startup neutron sources. The last two items are also supported vertically by the core plate. The entire assembly is bolted to a support ledge in the shroud. The core plate also forms a partition within the shroud, which causes the recirculation flow to pass into the orificed fuel support and through the fuel assemblies. 2, record 2, English, - orificed%20fuel%20support
