General-acid catalysis and general-base catalysis ... provide a means for catalyzing at neutral pH, where the concentrations of H+ and OH- are very low, chemical reactions that would otherwise require very high concentrations of H+ or OH-, long reaction periods, and high temperatures, whereas hydrolysis of peptide bonds by chymotrypsin proceeds rapidly at neutral pH, promoted by general acid-base catalysis at the active site. 3, record 1, English, - general%2Dacid%20catalysis

La catalyse spécifique acide-base par H+ ou OH- n’ a que peu d’importance dans les réactions enzymatiques; c'est la catalyse générale acide ou basique qu'il est beaucoup plus vraisemblable de voir impliquée dans l'action des enzymes. Un grand nombre de réactions organiques se produisant dans la cellule sont soumises à ce type de catalyse; on peut signaler parmi ces réactions : l'addition d’eau aux groupements carbonyl, l'hydrose des esters carboxyliques et phosphoriques, l'élimination d’une molécule d’eau pour former une double liaison, divers réarrangements moléculaires et de nombreuses réactions de substitution. En outre, les molécules enzymatiques contiennent de multiples groupements fonctionnels pouvant se comporter comme des acides généraux ou des bases générales. 3, record 1, French, - catalyse%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale%20acide

There is ... an international standard called "High Sierra" format, or ISO 9660, for the storage of plain data on CD-ROMs, but there are unfortunately two standards for the compressed data. One standard is called CD-I (Compact Disk-Interactive) and is supported by Philips and Sony, whereas the other standard is called DVI (Digital Video Interactive) and is supported by Intel and IBM. Both standards are similar in allowing slightly more than one hour of video on a CD-ROM, but they are otherwise quite different. CD-I is designed as a stand-alone system that is intended to be sold as a consumer electronics appliance for the home. A CD-I machine is self-contained with its own computer hidden inside. Users do not see the computer, however, but only the nice video images on their television screens, so CD-I may appeal to the "compuphobic" part of the population. CD-I does come in a computer-oriented format also, called CD-XA (Extended Architecture). 1, record 2, English, - Compact%20Disk%20Read%2DOnly%20Memory%20Extended%20Architecture

S’il existe une norme de fait(Sierra) pour le formatage physique du CD-ROM, sa conception intellectuelle reste artisanale. Cette situation va évoluer. Le CD-I(CD interactif) et le CD-XA(eXtended Architecture) remédient à une grave limite du CD-ROM pour le multimédia : le stockage d’un seul mode de données par piste. Sur CD-ROM, il faut donc, pour garder la continuité sonore, charger l'image à l'avance. Le CD-I et le CD-XA entrelacent les données en les plaçant sur des secteurs alternés de la même piste. Ceux-ci sont lus assez vite(150 kBit par seconde) pour obtenir une séquence audiovisuelle synchronisée. Selon la qualité de son requise, la bande passante autorise de 2 à 16 canaux. La compression du son double cette capacité. Il est possible de stocker diverses séquences parlées dans un même fichier et de sélectionner interactivement les données pertinentes(substitution d’une partie de phrase à une autre, par exemple). 4, record 2, French, - CD%2DROM%20%C3%A0%20extension%20d%27architecture

En mars dernier, Microsoft s’engageait aux cotés de GE à promouvoir la technologie DVI comme standard des applications vidéo-interactives. Ce qui ne l’empêchait pas, début septembre, de signer avec Philips et Sony en vue du développement de CD-ROM XA, un pont logiciel entre CD-ROM et CD-I. 5, record 2, French, - CD%2DROM%20%C3%A0%20extension%20d%27architecture
