Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The jump will be easy if the rider can see the landing area from the start. The kicker is very progressive and it is possible to launch off at low speed. A spine feature is considered dangerous when the air time trajectory is too far away from the axis of the feature. In this case, the rider might move away from the walland could land on the flat. Since a full transition jump requires a lot of amplitude and a precise assessment of the distance to travel in the air, it is intended for expert riders only. 2, record 4, English, - spine

A variation of the VASIS called the T-VASIS is installed at a few airports. It eliminates the requirement to discriminate colour except in a dangerously low approach when the lights will appear red. The T-VASIS installation consists of 10 lights on each side of the runway; 3 lights in a row parallel to the runway, 4 lights in a bar at right angles to the runway and another 3 lights in a line beyond the bar. On the proper approach slope, only the bar of 4 lights is visible. On a too high approach, the 3 upwind lights also are visible producing an inverted T. On a too low approach, the 3 lights downwind of the bar combine with the bar lights to show an upright T. 2, record 20, English, - T%2DVASIS

Pulp Brightening (Mechanical Pulp Bleaching). The term "brightening" is used here to denote lignin-preserving bleaching treatments. It must be noted that terminology is not standardized; in practice, the terms "bleaching" and "brightening" are often used interchangeably. Some technologists apply the term "brightening" only to those specific bleaching treatments that provide an increase in brightness. In order to retain the advantage of high yield, mechanical and chemi-mechanical pulps must be decolored or brightened by methods that do not solubilize any appreciable amount of lignin. Chemicals used commercially for this purpose today are sodium hydrosulfite ... which has a reductive action, and the peroxides (usually H2O2) which have an oxidative action. 1, record 21, English, - pulp%20brightening

Éclaircissement de la pâte(blanchiment des pâtes à haut rendement). On utilise ici le terme "éclaircissement" pour désigner les traitements de blanchiment qui permettent de préserver la lignine. Il est à remarquer que cette appellation n’ est pas normalisée et qu'en pratique, les termes "blanchiment" et "éclaircissement" sont interchangeables. Pour conserver les avantages d’un rendement élevé, il faut décolorer ou blanchir les pâtes à forte teneur en lignine(par ex. la pâte de râperie et la pâte thermomécanique) par des méthodes qui ne solubilisent pas une quantité trop importante de lignine. Les réactifs utilisés à cet effet sont aujourd’hui l'hydrosulfite de sodium(plus exactement la dithionite de sodium), qui a une action réductrice, et les peroxydes, qui ont un effet oxydant. 1, record 21, French, - %C3%A9claircissement%20de%20la%20p%C3%A2te
