Emitters usually have close, uniform spacings(e. g. 0. 025-0. 60 m) along a lateral line and emitters are either simple orifices, long path or labyrinth flow paths or a combination. Emitters may be embossed within the welded seam of the tape or they may be separate, pre-molded devices installed during fabrication.... The labyrinth emitter, designed with long intricate passageways, will create turbulent flow at normal operating pressures and is often called a turbulent or turbulent-path emitter. The turbulent flow resists plugging by allowing the flow path to be as large as possible and preventing small particles from settling or becoming lodged in the passageway. Flow rates from turbulent path emitters are also relatively insensitive to temperature fluctuations, thus avoiding a major cause of nonuniform water application under field conditions. Currently, most point source emitters utilize turbulent flow paths to control the application of water on tubing and some tapes, and are highly recommended for wine grape irrigation in the PNW. 2, record 2, English, - large%20turbulent%20flow%20labyrinth%20emitter

L'organe de distribution d'un réseau de micro-irrigation par goutte à goutte est le goutteur. Celui-ci peut être en ligne donc inséré sur la rampe ou en dérivation donc fiché dans la paroi de celle-ci ou relié par l'intermédiaire d'un petit tube appelé conducteur. On distingue des goutteurs à circuit court, des goutteurs à circuit long, des goutteurs à compensation de pression, des goutteurs turbulents à circuit court qui sont des cyclones miniaturisés, des goutteurs turbulents à circuit long, dit à chicanes ou labyrinthes. 1, record 2, French, - goutteur%20turbulent%20%C3%A0%20circuit%20long%20dit%20%C3%A0%20chicanes

The rational method of estimating peak flow on small watersheds [(under] 5 sq. mi.) is based, in concept, on the criterion that for storms of uniform intensity, distributed evenly over the basin, the maximum rate of runoff occurs when the entire basin area is contributing at the outlet and that this rate of runoff is equal to a percentage of the rainfall intensity. 2, record 3, English, - rational%20method

La méthode rationnelle d'évaluation des débits de pointe sur de petits bassins versants [(inférieur à] 5 milles carrés) est basée, théoriquement sur les critères suivants: lors des orages dont l'intensité et la distribution sur tout le bassin sont uniformes, le taux maximum de ruissellement se produit lorsque la superficie entière du bassin contribue à l'écoulement à l'exutoire. Et ce taux de ruissellement est égal à un pourcentage de l'intensité de la précipitation. 2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20rationnelle

The introduction of DEAE or CM groups into crosslinked agarose or acrylic copolymers gives ion exchange Sepharoses(Pharmacia) and Trisacryl(LKB). These two types of exchangers have a high capacity for proteins, and small, uniform bead shaped articles which support high flow rates. They do not deform under the pressures normally encountered in chromatography, and more importantly do not shrink or swell when the pH or ionic strength of the buffer is changed. 3, record 4, English, - carboxymethyl%20group
