Record 3 2020-09-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • International Relations
CONT

Despite the headlines ..., the great power competition is more evident at sea, where the absence of clear observable borders, a lack of governance, patchy surveillance and a poor security tapestry allow for actions between naval forces that, on land, would be acts of aggression triggering large scale political and military ramifications.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Relations internationales
CONT

[…] c'est en mer que la concurrence entre les grandes puissances est la plus marquée, là où l'absence de frontières clairement observables, le manque de gouvernance, les lacunes de la surveillance et l'insuffisance du maillage de sécurité permettent aux forces navales de se livrer à des actions qui, à terre, seraient considérées comme des actes d'agression et auraient d'importantes ramifications politiques et militaires.

DEF

Chromatographic analysis in which the stationary phase consists of beads of porous polymeric material sold under the trade name Sephadex; the mobile phase is liquid.

CONT

Gel Filtration Chromatography. The gel filtration method is a relatively new fractionation procedure in liquid chromatography for the separation of molecules according to the differences in size and shape and can be considered a a kind of "molecular sieve." This method has also been referred to in some publications as exclusion chromatography, restricted diffusion chromatography, restricted diffusion chromatography, gel chromatography and gel permeation chromatography, just to mention a few.

OBS

Gel permeation chromatography ... is the preferred term for what has also been known variously as exclusion chromatography, gel chromatography and gel filtration.

Record 7 2002-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The movement of the SRMS [Shuttle Remote Manipulator System] is controlled by the space shuttles general-purpose computer (GPC). The hand controllers used by the astronauts tell the computer what the astronauts would like the arm to do. Built in software examines what the astronauts commanded inputs are and calculates which joints to move, what direction to move them in, how fast to move them and what angle to move to. As the computer issues the commands to each of the joints it also looks at what is happening to each joint every 80 milliseconds. Any changes inputted by the astronauts to the initial trajectory commanded are re-examined and recalculated by the GPC and updated commands are then sent out to each of the joints.

OBS

general-purpose computer; GPC: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Engins spatiaux
CONT

Les mouvements du SRMS [Shuttle Remote Manipulator System] sont commandés par l'ordinateur universel de la navette (GPC). Les contrôleurs manuels utilisés par les astronautes indiquent à l'ordinateur ce que doit faire le télémanipulateur. Des logiciels intégrés examinent les commandes entrées par les astronautes et effectuent des calculs visant à déterminer quelle articulation doit bouger, dans quelle direction, à quelle vitesse et dans quel angle. Tandis que l'ordinateur envoie des commandes à chaque articulation, il observe les réactions de celles-ci toutes les 80 millisecondes. Les modifications que l'astronaute apporte à la trajectoire initialement commandée sont réexaminées et recalculées par le GPC et des commandes mises à jour sont ensuite envoyées à chacune des articulations.

OBS

ordinateur universel; GPC : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
