  • Chemistry
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The process by which the glassy texture of a material is converted into a crystalline texture.

Crystallization (devitrification) can have a number of deleterious effects on the integrity of the glass waste form. Crystallization can cause depletion of silica, leaving the residual glass phase with a lowered chemical durability.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Déchets nucléaires
  • Chimie
  • Physique atomique
CONT

L'altération du verre sous l'incidence des désintégrations a [alpha] au cours du stockage peut [...] être due à des effets thermiques, à des modifications structurales accompagnées ou non de dévitrification, à la radiolyse, à une modification du taux de lixiviation.

Record 4 2001-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Harvesting Techniques
CONT

OXBO knife rolls are 24" long with a tapered diameter designed specifically for sweet corn and seed corn ... with a slightly different taper for seed corn to accommodate unique single or double cross varieties. The design slows stalk acceleration through the head, reducing ear impact on the stripper plates, the common source of fresh ear damage and seed shelling.

Key term(s)
  • shelling

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
  • Techniques de récolte
CONT

En outre, il est important que la récolte se fasse lorsque le taux d’humidité des grains est approprié. Un excès d’humidité des grains peut causer de gros problèmes au cours des traitements suivants, en favorisant l'altération des qualités finales du riz. Par contre, un taux d’humidité trop bas peut provoquer l'égrenage des panicules au moment de la coupe, entraînant des pertes importantes de produit.

Record 5 1993-04-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Auditing (Accounting)
  • Government Accounting
DEF

The sum of taintings which can be tolerated without causing the upper error limit to exceed materiality in the sample error evaluation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vérification (Comptabilité)
  • Comptabilité publique
DEF

Somme des taux d’altération que l'on peut tolérer sans que la limite supérieure d’erreur ne dépasse l'importance relative dans l'évaluation des erreurs relevées dans l'échantillon examiné.
