Many biochemical reactions result in the consumption or production of acid and others involve the participation of a gaseous reactant, such as oxygen. For these types of reaction, it is necessary to ensure an adequate control of the pH by acid or base addition or an adequate supply of oxygen. Paked beds are not suitable for these purposes and some kind of mixed reactor is required. 1, record 1, English, - mixed%20reactor

De nombreuses réactions biochimiques consomment ou produisent des acides et d’autres mettent en œuvre un réactif gazeux comme l'oxygène. Dans ces types de réactions, il est nécessaire de veiller à un ajustement du pH par addition d’acide ou de base ou à un approvisionnement suffisant en oxygène. Les lits fixes ne se prêtent pas à ces opérations et on doit faire appel à une forme ou l'autre de réacteur mixte. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20mixte

A numeration system in which a number is represented as the sum of a series of terms each of which consists of a mantissa and a base, the base of a given term being constant for a given application but the bases being such that there are not necessarily integral ratios between the bases of all the terms. Example: With bases b3, b2 and b1 and mantissae 6, 5 and 4, the number represented is given by 6b3 + 5b2 + 4b1. 4, record 5, English, - mixed%20base%20numeration%20system

(1) A mixed radix numeration system is a particular case of a mixed base numeration system in which, when the terms are ordered so that their bases are in descending magnitudes, there is an integral ratio between the bases of adjacent terms, but not the same ratio in each case; thus if the smallest base is b and if x and y represent integers, the numeral 654 in such a numeration system represents the number given by 6xyb + 5xb + 4b. (2) A fixed radix numeration system is a particular case of a mixed base numeration system in which, when the terms are ordered so that their bases are in descending magnitudes, there is the same integral ratio between the bases of all pairs of adjacent terms; thus if b is the smallest base and if x represents an integer, the numeral 654 in such a numeration system represents the number given by 6x²b + 5xb + 4b. 4, record 5, English, - mixed%20base%20numeration%20system
