French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol

Record 3 2005-09-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
  • Animal Husbandry
CONT

Digestion coefficients calculated by difference were plausible for the combinations between hay, mixed feed and grass meal. The coefficients for energy digestibility calculated by difference for the concentrate mixture were 0.85 + 0.06 when combined with grass meal and 0.83 + 0.09 when combined with hay.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
  • Élevage des animaux
CONT

En général, les graines du mélange concentré starter sont concassées grossièrement ou passées dans un moulin pour obtenir une structure grossière. Une mouture fine n’ est pas recommandée parce que les petites particules ne stimulent pas la rumination.

Record 5 1998-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
DEF

A type of soil structure in which the peds are spheroids or polyhedrons that have little or no accommodation to surrounding peds, are relatively nonporous, and range in size from less than 1.0 mm to more than 10,0 mm.

OBS

American Soil Classification.

OBS

The Canadian System of Soil Classification uses the same term to identify the same kind of soil but leaving out the aspect of permeability in their distinction.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
CONT

La structure granulaire identifie le grand sous-type de structure du sol comprenant des particules sphéroïdales avec arêtes arrondies de grandeur fine, moyenne et grossière, allant de moins 2 mm à 10 mm.

OBS

Selon la classification canadienne des sols. Le critère de perméabilité du sol n’est pas mentionné ici.

Record 6 1998-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallurgy - General
DEF

A coarse structure of parallel elongated grains formed by unidirectional growth, most often observed in castings, but sometimes seen in structures resulting from diffusional growth accompanied by a solid-state transformation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallurgie générale
DEF

Structure grossière de grains répartis en colonnes parallèles dont l'axe est perpendiculaire à la surface du lingot.

Record 7 1980-06-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
OBS

A Bc horizon that is strongly cemented and usually has an abrupt upper boundary and a diffuse lower boundary. Cementation is usually strongest near the upper boundary. Ordinarily the color is similar to that of the parent material and the structure is amorphous or coarse platy. Air-dried clods do not slake when immersed in water. The duric horizon does not meet the requirements of a podzolic B horizon but may meet those of a Bt horizon.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
OBS

Terme désignant un horizon Bc fortement cimenté, dont la limite supérieure est habituellement abrupte et la limite inférieure, diffuse. La cimentation est généralement au plus fort près de la limite supérieure. D'ordinaire, cet horizon est d’une couleur semblable à celle du matériau originel et d’une structure amorphe ou lamellaire grossière. Les mottes séchées à l'air ne s’émiettent pas lorsqu'elles sont trempées d’eau. L'horizon durique ne répond pas aux critères d’un horizon B podzolique mais il peut répondre à ceux d’un horizon Bt.
