C'est là un cercle vicieux, l'appauvrissement des stocks réduisant l'offre et déclenchant un nouveau renchérissement. 2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20de%20libre%20acc%C3%A8s

Free products and dissolved petroleum components from the surface of the contaminated aquifer are captured and treated via multi-phase extraction & treatment. Bioslurping induces a horizontal vacuum gradient on the targeted monitor/recovery wells through a slurp tube which is inserted into each well. Product and groundwater are entrained in droplet form in a high velocity air stream and brought to the surface for treatment. Following air/liquid separation the liquid phase is treated by a combination of oil/water separation, air stripping, and liquid phase carbon treatment before being discharged. The off-gas is treated (if necessary) by vapour phase carbon treatment. The advantages of multi-phase extraction & treatment include: a high product to groundwater extraction ratio; aeration of the vadose zone which enhances natural biodegradation of the hydrocarbon contaminants; all treatment components may be housed in a turn-key mobile remedial unit; a simple product recovery technology which can be transferred to conventional remedial applications such as pump and treat, sparging and vapour extraction system (VES) applications.

Les fractions pétrolières à l'état libre ou dissoutes à la surface des ormations aquifères contaminées sont capturées et traitées par le système d’extraction et de traitement multiphase. La bioaspiration crée un gradient horizontal d’aspiration centré sur les puits de surveillance/récupération au moyen d’une seringue insérée dans chacun des puits. Les produits pétroliers et l'eau souterraine sont entraînés jusqu'à la surface, sous forme de gouttelettes dans un flux d’air à vitesse élevée, où ils sont traités. Une fois accomplie la séparation air/liquide, la phase liquide est soumise à des traitements séquentiels de séparation pétrole/eau, de stripage à l'air et d’absorption en phase liquide sur du carbone avant le rejet. Les gaz résiduels sont traités en phase vapeur(au besoin) sur du carbone. Ce traitement présente les avantages suivants : un ratio élevé d’extraction produit pétrolier/eau souterraine, l'aération de la zone vadose avec, pour conséquence, une intensification de la biodégradation naturelle des hydrocarbures, la possibilité de réunir toutes les composantes servant au traitement dans un bloc transportable clés en main, le fait qu'il s’agisse d’une technologie simple de récupération facilement convertible en d’autres applications classiques comme le pompage et le traitement, le barbotage et l'extraction à la vapeur.

SCG specializes in environmental remediation and has focused on groundwater treatment and soil remediation through the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of environmental remediation equipment. For sites where free hydrocarbon product is present in the subsurface, the relatively new bioslurping technology may provide a timely and cost effective remedial solution. SCG has developed an advanced innovative remedial option in which light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs), hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater and volatile constituents in soil vapours are aggressively captured and subsequently treated in-situ via Multi Phase Vacuum Extraction and Treatment (MPVET). This system is suited for the capture of a full range of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants (gasoline to heavy oils) and a variety of subsurface conditions (low permeability coupled with low hydraulic yield to moderate permeability coupled with high hydraulic yield). 1, record 8, English, - multi%2Dphase%20vacuum%20extraction%20and%20treatment

Les gaz constituant l'atmosphère du sol ont une composition variable; on retrouve les gaz de l'atmosphère libre, en particulier l'azote et l'oxygène. Par suite des échanges avec l'atmosphère libre, les pressions partielles de chaque gaz au-dessus et au-dessous de la surface du sol tendent à s’équilibrer. Par contre, en raison de la respiration(des racines, des micro-organismes et de la faune souterraine) ainsi que de certaines fermentations, le taux de gaz carbonique est considérablement plus élevé et celui de l'oxygène plus faible que dans l'air. Quant à la vapeur d’eau, sa pression partielle est telle que l'humidité relative soit en équilibre avec le potentiel matriciel de l'eau dans le sol. Ainsi la concentration de la vapeur d’eau croît avec la température et décroît avec l'humidité, ce deuxième effet n’ étant appréciable qu'aux très faibles humidités.

Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster. Shake: ... The International Space Station undergoes oscillations. If it is given a slight push, such as a bump from the Shuttle while undergoing a docking procedure, the ISS [International Space Station] vibrates with a to-and-fro shaking motion. Student Activity: Docking the Shuttle to an oscillating Space Station is a bit like trying to toss a ball into a swaying bucket from a distance. The trajectory of the ball must be perfect (the launch speed, angle and direction) and synchronized exactly with the motion of the oscillating bucket. Try it. Student Challenge: Clamp one end of a 30 cm steel ruler to the edge of a table so that it sticks straight out. Bend the free end of the ruler downward a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Attach a heavy mass (approximately 200 grams), such as a large blob of putty or Plasticine, to the free end of the ruler. Again, depress the free end of the ruler a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Try doubling the mass or changing the length of the free part of the ruler. Observe what happens to the motion of the ruler as the mass or length changes. Design an experiment to quantitatively measure the effect you have observed. Relate your findings to the oscillating behaviour of the International Space Station as it grows in mass and length. 1, record 12, English, - shake

Affiche «Rock’n’roll spatial». Vibrations :[...] La Station spatiale internationale oscille. Si elle subit une légère poussée, comme suite à un choc causé par la navette pendant les procédures d’amarrage, l'ISS vibre dans un mouvement de va-et-vient. Activité de l'élève : Amarrer la navette à une station spatiale oscillante est un peu comme essayer de lancer une balle dans un seau en mouvement. La trajectoire de la balle doit être parfaite(vitesse, angle et direction de lancement) et en synchronisme précis avec les mouvements du seau oscillant. Faites l'expérience. Défi : Fixez solidement une règle d’acier de 30 cm à l'extrémité d’une table de manière à ce qu'un bon bout de la règle dépasse de la table. Pliez l'extrémité de la règle vers le bas(quelques centimètres) et relâchez-la. Observez ce qui se passe. Fixez un poids(environ 200 grammes de mastic ou de pâte à modeler) au bout de l'extrémité libre de la règle. Une fois de plus, pliez le bout de la règle vers le bas et relâchez-la à nouveau. Observez ce qui se passe. Reprenez l'exercice en doublant le poids de la pâte ou en modifiant la longueur de la partie libre de la règle. Observez ce qui se passe au niveau du mouvement de la règle en fonction du changement de masse et de longueur. Élaborez une expérience qui permettra de mesurer quantitativement l'effet observé. Associez les résultats obtenus au comportement oscillatoire de la Station spatiale internationale à mesure que sa masse et sa longueur augmentent. 1, record 12, French, - vibrations

This new approach to autonomous control is based on the fact that non-linear dynamic systems can be controlled using analytically derived functions. The method hinges on defining an artificial potential field which represents the environment in which the vehicle is to manoeuvre. The potential field is configured to have a global minimum at the desired terminal state of the vehicle and has region of high potential which represents path constraints. This property enables active collision avoidance. Vehicle controls are then chosen such that the rate of descent of the potential field along the vehicle trajectory is always rendered negative definite. According to Lyapunov's theorem, this ensures that the vehicle converges to the desired terminal state without violating pre-defined path constraints. 2, record 13, English, - artificial%20potential%20field

Méthode générique de guidage et de contrôle statistiques autonomes [...] pour [...] véhicules en vol libre. [...] Cette méthode définit un champ potentiel artificiel représentant l'environnement dans lequel le véhicule sera censé évoluer. Ce champ potentiel est configuré selon un minimum global à l'état final souhaité du véhicule et comporte des régions à potentiel élevé qui représentent les contraintes de trajectoire. Cette configuration permet une prévention anti-collision active. Les commandes du véhicule sont ensuite sélectionnées de sorte que la vitesse de baisse du champ potentiel le long de la trajectoire du véhicule soit négative et définie. Selon le théorème de Lyapounov, cette méthode assure que le véhicule converge bien vers l'état final souhaité en respectant les contraintes de trajectoire prédéfinies [...] 2, record 13, French, - champ%20potentiel%20artificiel

Smoke Aloft -- Until recent decades, the impact of the lifted portion of smoke was ignored because it seemed to "just go away." These impacts are generally not realized until the mechanisms of dispersal bring the dispersed smoke back to ground level. Because the smoke has already dispersed over a broad area, the intensity of ground-level exposure is minimal. The duration of exposure may include the better part of a day, however, and the area of exposure may be large. 3, record 14, English, - smoke%20aloft
