The ability of certain restriction enzymes to recognize rather short, specific sequences of DNA as targets for cleavage opens a direct approach to gene structure. It is possible to proceed to determine the sequence of DNA between points that are sufficiently close together by suitable choice of points, regions can be connected into a sequence of the entire gene. The sequence of the DNA then can be compared with the sequence of the protein that the gene represents. This allows the regions corresponding to the protein to be delineated; and, by extending the sequence in either direction, the distance to the next gene can be determined. 2, record 1, English, - gene%20structure

Les résultats les plus frappants concernant la structure du gène lui-même, sont issus de l'étude des gènes rIIA et rIIB du bactériophage T4. Ce sont deux gènes contigus qui règlent la durée du cycle de T4. Des mutations dans l'un ou l'autre affectent donc la taille des plages formées par le virus sur un gazon bactérien poussant sur une boîte d’agar, ce qui permet de détecter un très petit nombre de particules de type sauvage au milieu d’un très grand nombre de mutants. 2, record 1, French, - structure%20du%20g%C3%A8ne

By orienting and networking such wires, nano-circuitry can potentially be created, which may be of value in the computer industry. The nanostructures can also be incorporated into coatings with optical, electric, magnetic, catalytic, or enzymatic moieties as functional units. A nanoarray is a nanoscale or microscale ordered arrangement of nanotemplates and/or nanostructures. A nanoarray, therefore comprises an ordered array of nanostructures. A nanoarray can have any type of long range packing symmetry, including 2-, 3-, 4-, or 6-fold packing symmetry. The nanoarray can be a one-dimensional structure, a two-dimensional array, or a three-dimensional array. In a specific embodiment, where the nanoparticles are dielectrics, a three-dimensional nanoarray can be a photonic bandgap crystal. Optimal conditions for assembly and crystallization of a nanoarray ... are easily determined by routine experimentation, such as by changing each variable individually and monitoring formation of the appropriate products. 3, record 2, English, - nanoarray

We examine how synthetic dynamic nanostructured surfaces control the attachment of pathogenic biofilms. The parameters governing long-range patterning of bacteria on high-aspect-ratio (HAR) nanoarrays are combinatorially elucidated, and we discover that sufficiently low effective stiffness of these HAR arrays mechanoselectively inhibits ~40% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm attachment. Inspired by the active echinoderm skin, we design and fabricate externally actuated dynamic elastomer surfaces with active surface microtopography. 4, record 2, English, - nanoarray

Eco-tourism and adventure tourism are closely aligned but they are often differentiated in two ways. One difference is the degree of risk involved in the activities. Many people, for example, would call a snowboarding holiday more of an adventure than an eco-tourism experience because of the higher degree of risk. Another distinction is linked to the level of motorized transportation involved. Adventure tourism may make use of vehicles such as snowmobiles or helicopters for heli-skiing. While these are common distinctions, there are no hard rules for differentiating the two. Some activities could be labeled as adventure tourism, eco-tourism, recreation and outdoor pursuits at the same time. Indeed, some people may view biking through the mountains as adventure tourism while others might call it eco-tourism because they are out in nature enjoying the spring wildflowers. 3, record 5, English, - adventure%20tourism

Le tourisme d’aventure est une forme de tourisme en région éloignée, sauvage ou dans un milieu inusité, qui peut entraîner un contact avec les populations locales, qui est associé à un certain degré de danger et qui exige un effort physique et des moyens de locomotion non traditionnels. Il existe deux types de tourisme d’aventure : l'aventure dure et l'aventure douce. Le tourisme d’aventure est en vogue de nos jours. Toutefois, il est encore difficile de s’entendre sur sa définition. D'abord considéré comme un type de tourisme quelque peu dangereux et réservé aux intrépides aventuriers, il s’applique maintenant à un tourisme plus facile d’accès et qui, bien que pratiqué en milieu naturel, peut prendre forme à proximité des villes. En effet, les citadins au confort douillet recherchent des sensations fortes qu'ils trouveront en pratiquant des activités de plein air dans des milieux inusités. Cette catégorie comprend neuf activités : baignade, canyoning, deltaplane, escalade, parapente, planche à voile, rafting, traîneau à chiens, vélo de montagne. 2, record 5, French, - tourisme%20d%27aventure

Ses membres postérieurs puissants lui permettaient de bondir sur des proies auxquelles il s’agrippait par les griffes recourbées de ses pattes. Sa tête, d’aspect féroce, est armée d’une soixantaine de dents coupantes et d’une corne nasale en fer de hache. Des protubérances frontales protègent ses yeux. À côté de ce type moyen existent des géants redoutables, les tyrannosaures, qui ont 15 mètres de long et possèdent un crâne plus grand et plus puissamment armé que celui d’aucun autre dinosaurien.
