The bison pound consisted of a series of posts from 15 to 25 cm in diameter placed in the ground to a depth of 20-40 cm. The posts were placed among the trees in a long row that was about 1. 5 m wide.... The bison were driven over the edge of the steep valley wall where they ran and tumbled into the structure at the bottom of the valley.  3, record 3, English, - bison%20pound

buffalo pound: "Buffalo" is the popular name often used to describe North American bison; however, this is a misnomer. In fact, buffalo are distinctly different animals from bison. Although both bison and buffalo belong to the same family, Bovidae, true "buffalo" are native only to Africa and Asia.  4, record 3, English, - bison%20pound

Bounded aquifers. Pumping tests sometimes have to be performed near the boundary of an aquifer. A boundary may be either a recharging boundary(e. g. a river or a canal) or a barrier boundary(e. g. an impermeable valley wall). When an aquifer boundary is located within the area influenced by a pumping test, the general assumption that the aquifer is of infinite areal extent is no longer valid.  2, record 6, English, - bounded%20aquifer

Cette forme de terrain est due aux eaux de fonte d'un glacier, qui accumulent des sédiments entre la glace et le versant d'une vallée. D'un côté, les sédiments s'appuient donc sur un rebord rocheux et, de l'autre, reposent contre la glace. Quand cette dernière fond, l'ensemble du dépôt se borde peu à peu d'un talus plus ou moins raide situé du côté occupé auparavant par la glace. Une telle construction, comprenant une surface relativement plane terminée par un talus en pente forte, se nomme une terrasse. Dans ce cas-ci, étant donné l'origine de contact glaciaire, il s'agit d'une terrasse de kame.  5, record 8, French, - terrasse%20de%20kame

Today, many options using concrete are available; new concepts are emerging and the art is constantly improving.(...) The circular bin is usually preferred since it is the cheapest shape to build, requiring the least amount of reinforcing steel and wall thickness to handle the stresses. It is also easier to build with moving or jump framework, surface finishing is easier, there are no corners for grain hangups, and hopper bottoms are conical with no valley angles. Square concrete bins nested together with common walls, may be advantageous where space is at a premium.  1, record 9, English, - circular%20bin

Les dimensions des structures en béton sont aussi variées que leur forme. Les cellules cylindriques sont les plus courantes en raison d'un coût de construction minimal; en effet, la forme cylindrique est celle qui exige le moins d'acier d'armature et le moins de ciment pour résister aux efforts (tensions). Les cellules cylindriques sont également plus faciles à construire avec des coffrages mobiles; elles facilitent le surfaçage, ne renferment aucune encoignure où le grain puisse s'accumuler et, enfin, l'orifice des trémies est conique, ne présentant ainsi aucun angle interne. Lorsque l'espace est une priorité, il peut être avantageux de construire des cellules carrées imbriquées dans les murs du silo.  1, record 9, French, - cellule%20cylindrique
