English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Brewing and Malting
CONT

Barley is widely grown in Western Europe where it is mainly used as an animal feed; but in two of the major producing countries [a] substantial proportion of the crop is used for malting [and then brewed to make beer.] While good malting barleys are genetically low in protein, the best varieties are more capable of retaining their malting ability at high protein levels than the less good ones.

OBS

Record 3 2005-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geophysics
  • Plate Tectonics
CONT

... the lithosphere, including the mechanical boundary layer, may be thinned by thermal stripping from below, allowing the plume mantle to ascend and decompress further.

CONT

The lithosphere, a thermal and mechanical boundary layer ... consists of a buoyant and mineralogically diverse component (the crust) and a solid upper mantle with more uniform characteristics.

CONT

... both deformed and undeformed spinel peridotite xenoliths ... are derived from a region of depleted mantle which probably forms the cool mechanical boundary layer immediately beneath the continental crust.

CONT

The mechanical boundary layer or lithosphere is the rigid cold upper layer of the earth and is closely related to the thermal boundary layer.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géophysique
  • Tectonique des plaques
OBS

La lithosphère, une couche limite d'un point de vue thermique et mécanique, a été différenciée chimiquement du manteau de la Terre.
