… the earliest age [at] which workers can claim their full pension. 4, record 1, English, - normal%20retirement%20age
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "normal retirement age" is somewhat misleading. It is not the age at which members normally retire. There are many pension plans where only a small percentage of the workforce will work up to the "normal" retirement age of 65. 4, record 1, English, - normal%20retirement%20age

In many pension plans, the URA [unreduced retirement age] is the same at the NRA, i.e. pensions commencing prior to the NRA are always subject to reduction. 4, record 1, English, - normal%20retirement%20age

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'expression «âge de la retraite normale» est quelque peu équivoque, car il ne s'agit pas de l'âge auquel les participants prennent normalement leur retraite. Pour de nombreux régimes, seule une faible proportion de la main-d'œuvre travaillera jusqu'à l'âge «normal» de 65 ans. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A2ge%20normal%20de%20retraite
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Pour de nombreux régimes, l'ARSR [âge de retraite sans réduction] et l'ARN sont identiques, c'est-à-dire que les pensions dont le service débute avant l'ARN font toujours l'objet d'une réduction. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A2ge%20normal%20de%20retraite

RNA is principally involved in the synthesis of proteins by transcription and translation of DNA ... In some viruses it is the sole nucleic acid, and hence the carrier of genetic information. RNA differs from DNA in containing the sugar ribose rather than deoxyribose; in having the base uracil in place of thymine; and in usually being single-stranded. 3, record 2, English, - ribonucleic%20acid
