The distribution of various physicochemical processes is another criterion [used for denoting the various shells of the atmosphere]. The ozonosphere, lying roughly between 10 and 50 kilometers, is the general region of the upper atmosphere in which there is an appreciable ozone concentration and in which ozone plays an important part in the radiative balance of the atmosphere; the ionosphere, starting at about 70 or 80 kilometers, is the region in which ionization of one or more of the atmospheric constituents is significant; the neutrosphere is the shell below this which is, by contrast, relatively unionized; and the chemosphere, with no very definite height limits, is the region in which photochemical reactions take place. 5, record 6, English, - ozonosphere

... the atmosphere consists of several layers. The layers differ in such physical properties as pressure and the types of gasses. The layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth is called the TROPOSPHERE. ... The layer above the troposphere is called the STRATOSPHERE. The OZONE LAYER is the part of the stratosphere where absorption of ultraviolet rays occurs. The layer above the stratosphere is called the MESOSPHERE. The THERMOSPHERE lies above the mesosphere. The ionized gases form a layer within the thermosphere called the IONOSPHERE. The outermost part of Earth’s atmosphere extends from about 480 km out to 960 km.

Pour plusieurs auteurs, l'ozonosphère devrait se résumer à la zone, située à vingt ou vingt-cinq kilomètres d'altitude, qui présente une concentration maximale d'ozone. Certains auteurs étendent cependant les limites de l'ozonosphère à dix et quarante kilomètres car la concentration y est relativement plus élevée que dans le reste de l'atmosphère. Quelques auteurs considèrent que le terme ozonosphère est synonyme de stratosphère (entre dix et cinquante kilomètres). Finalement, dans son sens le plus étendu, l'ozonosphère, comme l'expression bouclier d'ozone, peuvent désigner la totalité de l'ozone qui forme un large dôme au-dessus de la Terre et qui la protège des rayons solaires ultraviolets. 3, record 6, French, - ozonosph%C3%A8re

Matroshka is a multi-user external human "phantom" facility representing the upper part of the human body. The goal is to support studies into the depth dose distribution of different orbital radiation field components during Extra Vehicular Activities on different sides of human organs. Matroshka is equipped with user-provided passive and/or active detectors for ionising radiation placed at different locations within the facility. Matroshka will be mounted on the outside of the Russian Service Module. 2, record 14, English, - Matroshka

Opening size distribution curve("porometric curve") of a geotextile.... A typical "porometric curve" representing the opening size distribution of a geotextile is shown in Fig. 4. This curve can be obtained, with more or less accuracy, by sieving calibrated glass beads through the considered geotextile. The retention ability of a geotextile is governed by its largest openings. Consequently, the upper part of the porometric curve is the most important and it is usually characterized by the O(95 often called apparent opening size. 1, record 18, English, - opening%20size%20distribution%20curve
