The Very High Resolution Spectrometer. The 6. 65 m off-plane Eagle spectrometer connected to the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility(SURF II) electron storage ring at the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) is one of the two very high resolution spectrometers(VHRS) in the world that combine a synchrotron radiation light source with photoelectric detection of vacuum ultraviolet spectra. Spectra are obtained over a usable range from approximately 20 nm to 200 nm by scanning the exit slit of the spectrometer at wavelength intervals as small as 0. 1 pm in first order. The beamline leading to the entrance slit of the VHRS includes three cylindrical uncoated glass mirrors with incident angles of 80, 70, and 80 degrees from the normal to provide a converging beam to match the f/number of the instrument which is about f/50. Since 1990, when the three-mirror light collection system was improved, a number of high resolution measurements have been made in the region between 40 nm and 120 nm. 2, record 2, English, - very%20high%20resolution%20spectrometer

NDHQ 97 is the largest accommodation project ever undertaken by the Department of National Defence or the government. It's more than just moving people from building to building. It's refitting buildings and general office space, using a new design concept called the universal footprint. It's adapting accommodation to re-engineered organizations. It's also purchasing and installing furniture best suited to a modern, dynamic organization. The headquarters will have a new look. In the four buildings... corridors will run along the windows. Offices will be clustered at the centre of each floor. Major traffic will flow outside work areas, not through them. People working in teams will have work areas designed for teams. Offices will have more natural light, better air conditioning and better ventilation. Some screens will have glazed windows to allow natural light to spill through. Each workstation will include large, well-lit work surfaces for computers and overall, will have more usable workspace. Plenty of storage space will be located above and below work surfaces. But employees will be encouraged to make the most of their space by storing information on diskette, rather than in filing cabinets. The look will be cleaner and less cluttered. And whether people are tall or short, they’ll be able to adjust their desks, chairs and computers to the height that's right for them. 3, record 5, English, - universal%20footprint

QGDN 97 est le plus gros projet d'aménagement de locaux entrepris par le ministère de la Défense nationale ou le gouvernement. Il ne s'agit pas seulement de déménager des gens d'un édifice à un autre, mais plutôt de réorganiser les édifices et l'espace disponible en appliquant un nouveau concept d'aménagement appelé plan universel, d'adapter les locaux à des organisations restructurées, d'acheter et d'installer de l'ameublement qui convient mieux à une organisation moderne et dynamique. Le quartier général aura une nouvelle allure. Dans les quatre édifices [...] les couloirs vont longer les fenêtres, et les bureaux seront regroupés au centre de chaque étage. Le gros de la circulation se fera à l'extérieur des aires de travail, et non à travers celles-ci. Les gens qui travaillent en équipe auront des locaux conçus spécialement pour les équipes. Il y aura davantage de lumière naturelle dans les bureaux, et la climatisation ainsi que la ventilation seront meilleures. Certaines cloisons auront des fenêtres vitrées pour permettre la diffusion de la lumière naturelle. Chaque poste de travail comprendra de grandes surfaces bien éclairées pour les ordinateurs et offriront, dans l'ensemble, un plus grand espace utilisable. Il y aura en outre beaucoup de rangement au-dessus et au-dessous des surfaces de travail. Les employés seront toutefois encouragés à maximiser leur espace en emmagasinant l'information sur disquette plutôt que dans des classeurs. Les locaux auront ainsi l'air plus propres et plus dégagés. Peu importe la taille des occupants, les bureaux, les chaises, et les ordinateurs pourront être réglés à la bonne hauteur. 4, record 5, French, - plan%20universel
