balance energético; balance radiativo; equilibrio térmico de la Tierra : La Fundación del Español Urgente(Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el giro apropiado para aludir al equilibrio térmico de la Tierra por la radiación que recibe y emite es balance radiativo [también llamado balance energético], y no balance radiactivo, pues este concepto no tiene relación directa con la radiactividad. [...] De modo más general, el Vocabulario científico y técnico de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales(España) explica que radiativo es la ‘cualidad atribuible a la radiación electromagnética’. Por otra parte, radiactivo viene definido en el Diccionario académico como ‘que tiene radiactividad’ y por tanto alude a las radiaciones emitidas por los átomos cuando se desintegran, como ocurre, por ejemplo, con el radio, el uranio y el plutonio. 1, record 3, Spanish, - balance%20radiativo%20de%20la%20Tierra

The demand and supply of water are important determinants of canopy surface conductance and the rate of carbon diffusion into leaves. The energy balance determines the total energy available to drive photosynthesis and the temperature of plant tissues. Temperature affects rates of metabolic activities and the response of plant metabolism to temperature is important to determine their distribution and growth rate. 2, record 5, English, - energy%20balance

On convient généralement de considérer les flux entrants comme positifs et les sortants comme négatifs. Quatre flux énergétiques principaux sont en cause, le flux radiatif, le flux thermique, le flux hydrique (évaporation, condensation) et le flux métabolique (photosynthèse, respiration). En toute rigueur et à court terme, il faut ajouter à ces quatre flux un terme rendant compte des fluctuations thermiques temporelles, c'est-à-dire des variations du stock d'énergie du système. À part le flux d'énergie d'origine métabolique, tous les autres termes sont de nature strictement physique. 2, record 5, French, - bilan%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique

Pregnancy toxemia in cows is similar to the condition in small ruminants and is the result of fetal carbohydrate or energy demand exceeding maternal supply during the last trimester of pregnancy. It is precipitated by large or multiple fetuses, feed low in energy or protein, and health conditions that increase energy demand or decrease ability to take in nourishment (e.g., lameness and oral diseases). 1, record 6, English, - pregnancy%20toxemia%20in%20cows
