The War Veterans Allowance(WVA) is a transfer payment program, which has been in effect since September 1, 1930. The program is a form of non-taxable financial assistance available to Canadian Veterans of World War I(WWI), World War II(WWII) and the Korean War. It also acts as a "window of access" to other programs(e. g., Veterans Independence Program, Assistance Fund) for recipients and "near-recipients"(individuals who would qualify, except they receive income through other income support programs). The purpose of WVA is to ensure that, in recognition of wartime service, eligible persons are provided with regular monthly income in order to meet their basic needs, and maintain dignity. 1, record 1, English, - War%20Veterans%20Allowance%20Program

Le Programme des allocations aux anciens combattants (AAC) est un programme de paiement de transfert en vigueur depuis le 1er septembre 1930. Il s'agit d'une forme d'aide financière non imposable offerte aux anciens combattants canadiens de la Première Guerre mondiale, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la guerre de Corée. Le Programme sert également de porte d'entrée vers d'autres programmes (p. ex. Programme pour l'autonomie des anciens combattants, Fonds de secours) pour les bénéficiaires et les quasi-bénéficiaires (personnes qui seraient autrement admissibles si elles ne recevaient pas un soutien du revenu d'autres programmes). Le Programme des allocations aux anciens combattants constitue une forme de reconnaissance aux personnes admissibles ayant servi en temps de guerre, pour s'assurer qu'elles reçoivent un revenu mensuel régulier leur permettant de satisfaire leurs besoins fondamentaux et de conserver leur dignité. 1, record 1, French, - Programme%20des%20allocations%20aux%20anciens%20combattants

... MBE [molecular beam epitaxy] can grow semiconductors with large area and ultra-thin crystal layer with high uniformity and high-quality crystals, and with uniform doping profile necessary for an abrupt junction. Since the solar spectrum is broad by nature, the window effect for high-performance solar cells is also feasible by MBE using lattice-matched GaAlAs mixed crystals. 2, record 2, English, - window%20effect

Le fonctionnement des dispositifs à semi-conducteur tels que les détecteurs et les modulateurs du rayonnement électromagnétique repose sur les phénomènes d'interaction entre les semi-conducteurs et le rayonnement électromagnétique. [...] Dans notre travail, on traite particulièrement les composés AlxGa1-xAs parmi les semi-conducteurs ternaires [...] Les avantages physiques proviennent de deux effets : l'effet fenêtre et l'effet du champ interne qui apparaît dans le semi-conducteur à bande interdite variable AlxGa1-xAs. La décroissance de la bande interdite du composé AlxGa1-xAs avec l'épaisseur permet une pénétration profonde du flux lumineux incident et l'absorption près de la jonction, met en évidence l'effet fenêtre. L'effet du champ interne provenant du gradient de la bande interdite est de réduire les pertes de recombinaisons en volume et en surface de l'échantillon. Le deuxième avantage a un aspect technologique. 2, record 2, French, - effet%20fen%C3%AAtre

... the effect of weather stripping is similar to insulation in that it reduces the heat loss or heat gain of a structure and also conserves energy. Weather stripping is available in many forms, such as foam rubber or foam plastic strips, which are resilient and compressible. They are usually placed in a door frame or window frame in such a manner that the door or window compresses the material and thereby eliminates air infiltration. 2, record 4, English, - weatherstripping

The depressurization test is the normal method of finding out how tight a house is and where air leaks are occurring. Air is sucked out of the house through an exhaust fan. This "vacuum cleaner" effect is used to estimate the sum total of all cracks in the house, which in a conventional house often add up a good-sized window left wide open. 1, record 5, English, - depressurization%20test
