Business investment is estimated to have declined nearly 10 percent in 1992. However, lower real interest rates will bring about a recovery in business investment in 1993. In fact, the investment spending recovery may already be underway with an annualized 9 percent increase in the last quarter of 1992. 1, record 2, English, - investment%20spending%20recovery

On estime à près de 10 p. 100 la chute des investissements des entreprises en 1992. Toutefois, la baisse des taux d’intérêt réels marquera le coup d’envoi de la reprise des investissements des entreprises en 1993. En fait, la reprise des investissements est peut-être même déjà amorcée, compte tenu d’une hausse annualisée de 9 p. 100 au dernier trimestre de 1992. 1, record 2, French, - reprise%20des%20investissements

After emerging from the recession relatively unscathed, the Alberta economy grew at above average rates for three straight years, fuelled by exports and business investment. Growth finally slowed last year, as investment in the energy industry weakened as oil prices slumped. The housing market has been in a three-year tailspin, a sign of weak confidence in the future. However, steady cuts in taxes led to the highest disposable income growth of any province this decade. 2, record 3, English, - tailspin

Après s’être tirée relativement indemne de la récession, l'économie de l'Alberta a progressé à des taux supérieurs à la moyenne trois années de suite, nourrie par les exportations et les investissements des entreprises. La croissance a finalement ralenti l'an dernier, les investissements ayant baissé dans le secteur de l'énergie par suite du marasme des cours pétroliers. Le marché de l'habitation a connu trois ans de dégringolade, indice d’un manque de confiance dans l'avenir. Signalons toutefois que, grâce à de constants allégements ficaux, l'Alberta est la province où le revenu disponible a le plus augmenté cette décennie. 2, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9gringolade

With the introduction of immobilized enzymes, continuous operation has become a reality in enzyme catalyzed reactions, and with it the advantages of automatic control, ease of operation, and quality control of products... Based upon the method of charging and discharging, enzyme rectors may be broadly classified as batch and continuous-flow reactors.... Continuous reactors can be divided into two basic types, depending on the relative flow patterns; continuous feed stirred tank reactors and plug-flow reactors. 2, record 4, English, - continuous%20reactor

L'immobilisation des enzymes est nécessaire pour leur utilisation prolongée en réacteur continu. Elle n’ est pas justifiée dans les grands procédés industriels conventionnels où le coût du traitement enzymatique est souvent inférieur à 1 % de celui de la matière à transformer. Les investissements importants dans des équipements coûteux, les risques de contamination par des micro-organismes, l'apparition de sous-produits et la baisse d’activité due aux limitations de la diffusion des produits et des substrats ont été la plupart du temps les obstacles à l'utilisation de réacteurs continus. 1, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20continu
