The jump will be easy if the rider can see the landing area from the start. The kicker is very progressive and it is possible to launch off at low speed. A spine feature is considered dangerous when the air time trajectory is too far away from the axis of the feature. In this case, the rider might move away from the walland could land on the flat. Since a full transition jump requires a lot of amplitude and a precise assessment of the distance to travel in the air, it is intended for expert riders only. 2, record 8, English, - spine

unstable: The opposite of "stable," i.e. the chemical species concerned has a higher molar Gibbs energy than some assumed standard. The term should not be used in place of "reactive" or "transient," although more reactive or transient species are frequently also more unstable. (Very unstable chemical species tend to undergo exothermic unimolecular decompositions. Variations in the structure of the related chemical species of this kind generally affect the energy of the transition states for these decompositions less than they affect the stability of the decomposing chemical species. Low stability may therefore parallel a relatively high rate of unimolecular decomposition.) 4, record 14, English, - unstable

instable : Contraire de «stable»; en d’autres termes, l'énergie de Gibbs molaire de l'espèce chimique concernée est plus élevée que celle d’une référence sous-entendue. Ce terme ne doit pas être utilisé comme synonyme de «réactif» ou de «transitoire», bien que souvent les espèces les plus réactives ou les plus éphémères soient aussi les plus instables.(Les espèces chimiques très instables ont tendance à subir des décompositions unimoléculaires exothermiques. Généralement, les variations de structure d’espèces chimiques de ce type, appartenant à une même famille, affectent moins l'énergie es états de transition de leur décomposition que leur stabilité. Dans ce contexte, une faible stabilité peut signifier que la décomposition unimoléculaire est relativement rapide). 3, record 14, French, - instable

The SNA is a comprehensive, consistent and flexible set of macroeconomic accounts intended to meet the needs of government and private-sector analysis, policy makers and decision takers. It is designed for use in countries with market economies, whatever their stage of economic development, and also in countries in transition to market economies. The system has been welcomed and unanimously approved by the Statistical Commission of the United nations, should be used as the international standard for the compilation of national accounts statistics in order to promote the integration of economic and related statistics. 2, record 15, English, - System%20of%20National%20Accounts

[Steam and condensate system of a paper machine dryer.] The condensate that forms in the dryer cylinders is removed by a specially-designed syphon assembly. On slow machines, the condensate collects in a puddle at the bottom of the cylinder; a stationary syphon angled into the puddle is often used on these machines. With increasing speed, the puddle begins to cascade; and finally a true rimming condition is reached where the condensate covers the entire inside surface due to centrifugal force. 1, record 18, English, - rimming%20condition

Sur les machines lentes, les condensats forment une mare au fond du cylindre sécheur et un siphon fixe y est utilisé.
