Plant diseases can affect grain quality. For example, wheat grain from rusted plants is usually thin and low in test weight and is therefore degraded on this account. When such wheat is milled, flour yield is poor. Smut diseases and root rots have similar effects on milling and baking quality. 1, record 2, English, - smut%20disease

Les maladies peuvent diminuer la qualité du grain. C'est ainsi que le blé rouillé est généralement maigre et de poids spécifique inférieur. Il subit donc un déclassement de ce fait. A la mouture, ce blé donne un faible rendement en farine. Les affections charbonneuses et les piétins ont des effets similaires sur la qualité de la mouture et la valeur boulangère. 1, record 2, French, - affection%20charbonneuse

Weight training has become the best-known form of resistance training, which is in turn the best-known form of strength training. It should not be confused with bodybuilding, weightlifting or powerlifting — even though these also involve the lifting of weights — because they are sports rather than forms of exercise. 4, record 3, English, - weight%20training

From the milling separator, the grain passes to a gravity separator. This machine separates materials that may be similar in shape and size but that differ in specific gravity, such as wheat and small stones. Uncleaned wheat is "floated" on a metal screen which is oscillating rapidly. The grain moves down the sloping screen to the outlet while the stones are propelled toward the head of the screen by the oscillating movement, and collected separately. Although only a very small percentage of stones may be present, their removal is important since they cause extensive damage to processing machinery. Also, if they are ground along with the wheat, the undesirable fine mineral matter will end up in the flour. 1, record 5, English, - metal%20screen

Du séparateur de mouture, le grain passe au séparateur-aspirateur qui en élimine les matières inertes dont la forme et les dimensions peuvent être celles du blé, mais qui sont d’un poids spécifique différent, comme le blé maigre et les petites pierres. Le blé non trié "plane" sur un tamis métallique qui est animé d’un mouvement d’oscillation rapide. Tandis que le grain suit l'inclinaison du tamis, les pierres sont projetées vers la tête de celui-ci par le mouvement oscillant et elles sont recueillies séparément. Bien qu'il n’ y ait que très peu de ces pierres, leur suppression est importante en raison des dommages importants qu'elles causeraient aux machines de meunerie. De plus, si elles étaient moulues ave le grain, les poussières minérales indésirables se mélangeraient à la farine. 1, record 5, French, - tamis%20m%C3%A9tallique
