A form of electric propulsion in which electrical energy is used to heat a suitable propellant causing it to expand through a supersonic nozzle and generate thrust. Two basic types of electrothermal thruster are in use today: the resistojet and the arcjet. In both, material characteristics limit the effective exhaust velocity to values similar to those of chemical rockets. A third, experimental type is the microwave plasma thruster which potentially could achieve somewhat higher exhaust velocities. 2, record 2, English, - electrothermal%20thruster

Il existe trois types principaux de moteurs électriques spatiaux à réaction : le moteur électrothermique, le moteur ionique(électrostatique) et le moteur plasmique(électromagnétique). Le moteur électrothermique [...] est celui qui se rapproche le plus des moteurs classiques. Un fluide, porté à une température élevée par une décharge électrique, se volatilise, se détend et est évacué par une tuyère en fournissant une poussée. Le chauffage peut être effectué par un arc électrique jaillissant entre deux électrodes, mais ces dernières sont alors sujettes à une érosion intense qui limite la durée de vie du moteur. Un chauffage utilisant une résistance, bien que moins efficace, évite cet inconvénient. Le moteur électrothermique est limité à des vitesses d’éjection de l'ordre de 20 km/s. 2, record 2, French, - moteur%20%C3%A9lectrothermique

Wireworms, which have a life span of up to 10 years, attack all cereal crops, particularly wheat and spring rye. They are most troublesome in light prairie soils. They may often be held in check by periodic summerfallowing and keeping fallow land clean to destroy the food supply of the long-lived larvae. For immediate and effective control, infested fields are sown with seed treated with an insecticide. 3, record 3, English, - wireworm

Les taupins, qui peuvent vivre dix ans, attaquent toutes les céréales, en particulier le blé et le seigle de printemps; ils causent surtout des ravages dans les sols légers des Prairies. On peut souvent les tenir en échec en pratiquant régulièrement la jachère d’été et en entretenant les jachères afin de détruire les ressources alimentaires des larves, dont la durée de vie est longue. Comme moyen de lutte immédiat et efficace, on peut ensemencer les terres infestées avec de la semence traitée aux insecticides. 4, record 3, French, - larve%20de%20taupin

Since only about 1% of the CFMs are dissociated each year, a small tropospheric sink would have tremendous impact. For example, if a tropospheric sink accounted for only 2% of the CFMs released, the peak ozone reduction would be reduced by two-thirds. Direct measurement of a tropospheric sink is not possible because both the CFM release to the atmosphere and the atmospheric burden of CFMs is imprecisely known. 1, record 6, English, - tropospheric%20sink
