Many important wildlife habitats are found on private properties, such as cottages, woodlots, ranches and farms. The people who own these lands play an important role in protecting such habitats by limiting certain activities and practices, and encouraging restoration and stewardship. But what happens if they can no longer care for their property, or it passes out of their hands? Since 1995, Environment Canada's Ecological Gifts Program has enabled individual and corporate landowners to protect their cherished piece of nature forever by donating ecologically sensitive land to an environmental charity or government body. An "ecogift" can be a donation of land or a partial interest in land - such as a conservation easement, covenant or servitude. In addition to the peace of mind of knowing that the land will be managed by the recipient according to mutually agreed-upon conservation goals and objectives, donors are also eligible to receive income tax benefits for their donation. 1, record 1, English, - Ecological%20Gifts%20Program

Un grand nombre d’habitats d’espèces sauvages importants se trouvent sur des propriétés privées, telles que sur des terrains de chalets, des terres à bois, des fermes d’élevage et des exploitations agricoles. Les propriétaires de ces terres sont appelés à jouer un rôle important dans la protection de tels habitats en favorisant leur remise en état et la bonne intendance de l'environnement, et en empêchant la pratique de certaines activités. Qu'advient-il toutefois de leur propriété lorsqu'ils ne peuvent plus s’en occuper ou quand celle-ci est cédée à un autre propriétaire? Depuis 1995, le Programme des dons écologiques d’Environnement Canada permet aux propriétaires fonciers-individus et entreprises privées-d’assurer à jamais la protection de la parcelle de nature qui leur est chère en faisant don de terres écosensibles à un organisme gouvernemental. Un «don écolog4que» peut être le don d’une terre ou d’un intérêt foncier partiel, c'est-à-dire une convention ou une servitude de conservation, selon le Code civil(servitude selon le code civil) ou la common law(servitude selon la common law). Les donateurs ont non seulement la satisfaction de savoir que les terres seront gérées par le bénéficiaire selon des buts et des objectifs de conservation dont ils ont mutuellement convenus, mais ils jouissent aussi d’avantages fiscaux. 1, record 1, French, - Programme%20des%20dons%20%C3%A9cologiques

Boundary Layers. A consequence of any fluid-surface interaction (as is found in convective heat transfer) is the development of a region in the fluid through which the velocity varies from zero at the surface to a finite value ... associated with the flow. This region is known as the hydrodynamic, or velocity boundary layer. If there is a difference in the surface and flow temperatures, there will also develop a region in the fluid through which the temperature varies ... in the outer flow ... This region, called the thermal boundary layer, may be smaller, larger or the same size as that through which the velocity varies. 2, record 2, English, - thermal%20boundary%20layer

Couches limites et dynamiques. Quel que soit le régime d’écoulement, il demeure une sous-couche laminaire(couche limite dynamique) dont l'épaisseur est d’autant plus réduite que le nombre de Reynolds est grand. L'épaisseur de cette couche limite varie en fonction de nombreux paramètres :nature du fluide, température, rugosité de la paroi... L'analogie de Reynolds montre que le gradient thermique est particulièrement important au voisinage de la paroi, c'est à dire dans la sous-couche laminaire. Quel que soit le régime d’écoulement du fluide, on considère que la résistance thermique est entièrement située dans le film laminaire qui joue le rôle d’isolant thermique(couche limite thermique). 2, record 2, French, - couche%20limite%20thermique
