Pour accroître sa biomasse, une plante a besoin d’eau. Cette dépendance fondamentale est toutefois plus ou moins poussée selon les cultures ou les environnements. Une culture à forte croissance peut donc produire plus de grains, à condition de gérer l'eau disponible pour atteindre la maturité, sous peine de subir de fortes pertes de rendements. La tolérance à la sécheresse résulte donc d’un fin équilibre entre maximiser l'utilisation de l'eau pour produire et garder suffisamment d’eau pour les stades clefs du développement [...] 2, record 1, French, - tol%C3%A9rance%20%C3%A0%20la%20s%C3%A9cheresse

A Go-NoGo gauge (or Go/no go) refers to an inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances. Its name derives from its use: the gauge itself has two tests; the check involves the workpiece's having to pass one test (Go) and 'fail' the other (No Go). ... A Go NoGo gauge is a measuring tool that does not return a size in the conventional sense, but instead returns a state. The state is either acceptable (the part is within tolerance and may be used) or it is unacceptable (and must be rejected). 2, record 4, English, - go%2C%20no%2Dgo%20adapter

Le principe du contrôle d’une grandeur mécanique par calibre à limite est basé sur l'utilisation d’un calibre ENTRE et d’un calibre N'ENTRE PAS parfois appelés GO et NO GO. Ce contrôle ne donne pas de renseignement sur la valeur de la grandeur. En revanche, il renseigne sur le fait que la grandeur mesurée est dans la tolérance spécifiée et nécessaire pour assurer le fonctionnement d’un ensemble mécanique. C'est donc en principe un contrôle de fabrication ou même de réception mais ce n’ est pas une mesure. Les calibres à limite ne sont pas des appareils mesureurs(comme un pied à coulisse par exemple). Son avantage réside dans la simplicité et la rapidité de la mesure. Elle permet un tri des pièces mais elle ne permettra pas de faire un diagnostic sur une éventuelle non-conformité. La grandeur mesurée est dite dans la tolérance si :[Le] calibre ENTRE n’ interfère pas avec la grandeur, c'est-à-dire pénètre. [Le] calibre N'ENTRE PAS interfère avec la grandeur, c'est-à-dire ne pénètre pas. 3, record 4, French, - calibre%20entre%20n%26rsquo%3Bentre%20pas
