Because the oils from blossoms such as jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, and violet are destroyed or lost during steam distillation, a process termed enfleurage has been used. The blossoms are placed in contact with purified fats, which become saturated with the odorous oils. Extraction with alcohol then removes the oils from the fats. 4, record 3, English, - enfleurage

Procédé d’extraction à froid des essences végétales, souvent de prix. Il consiste à recueillir le parfum sur des plateaux disposés en chicane et contenant de la graisse de bœuf purifiée; au-dessus de chaque plateau se trouve un treillage métallique destiné à recevoir les fleurs. On fait passer, en vase clos, un courant d’air très lent qui, plus ou moins saturé du parfum des fleurs, vient lécher la surface de la graisse de bœuf laquelle s’empare très facilement de l'essence. Quand on estime que les fleurs sont épuisées, on les renouvelle, jusqu'à ce que la graisse soit saturée d’essence. Cette dernière est extraite au moyen d’alcool qui s’en empare. On traite ainsi les fleurs de jasmin, de réséda, de tubéreuse, de jonquille, de rose... et l'on obtient ainsi des parfums non dénaturés par la distillation à la vapeur d’eau [...] 3, record 3, French, - enfleurage

A built-up roofing consists of plies or layers of roofing felt bonded together on site with hot bitumen. A protective surface coating of gravel or slag is sometimes embedded in a heavy top coating of hot bitumen. It is laid down to conform to the roof deck, and to protect all angles formed by the roof deck with projecting surfaces, and forms a single-unit flexible waterproofed membrane fastened to the deck by cementing and nailing. The simple principle on flat roofs is to turn the membrane up to form a skirting or base flashing on the vertical surfaces, making a large watertight tray. The only outlets from this tray are the roof drains to dispose of water. 3, record 7, English, - build%2Dup%20roofing

Ces minéralisations [sédimentaires] se déposent sur le plateau continental de leur époque, non loin des anciens rivages. Plus précisément leur localisation est étroitement contrôlée par la paléomorphologie(île, cuvette, rebord). Ainsi, les stratifications entrecroisées, les réductions d’épaisseurs, les sols indurés, les lacunes, les ripple-marks ou rides traduisant une faible épaisseur d’eau, les chenaux fluviatiles sont autant de manifestations que l'on rencontre dans les gisements d’origine sédimentaire dues à cette paléomorphologie. 2, record 15, French, - pal%C3%A9omorphologie

The percentage of water contained in a soil that has been saturated, subjected to, and is in equilibrium with an applied pressure or tension equivalent to a column of water 60 cm high. Pressure may be applied in a pressure plate apparatus or, as a tension, on a tension table. It may be expressed on a weight or volume basis and is considered by many to approximate the "field capacity," especially in medium- to coarse-textured soils. 1, record 18, English, - sixty%2Dcentimetre%20percentage
