The RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Mission (AMM) has important significance for the scientific community. Almost 70% of the Earth's fresh water is contained in the Antarctic region, and changes in this enormous reservoir directly influence world sea levels and climate. The new digital radar map will provide an unprecedented detailed portrayal of the surface form and features of the ice sheet. This RADARSAT based map will help scientists to better understand the dynamic behaviour of the ice sheet and provide them with a greater insight into the effects of human activity on the Southern Continent. 2, record 11, English, - Antarctic%20Mapping%20Mission

La Mission de cartographie de l'Antarctique par RADARSAT est d'une grande importance pour la communauté scientifique puisque cette région contient près de 70 pour 100 des réserves d'eau douce de la planète et que toute modification touchant cet immense réservoir a une incidence directe sur le climat et le niveau des eaux dans le monde entier. Une mosaïque d'images numériques haute résolution de l'inlandsis et des parties non recouvertes du continent sera constituée à partir d'images RADARSAT. La nouvelle carte radar numérique fournira un relevé d'un niveau de précision sans précédent des caractéristiques et du relief de l'inlandsis.

A ratio of the amount of (equivalent) chlorine applied in the initial chlorination stage to the amount of lignin in the pulp entering the initial chlorination stage. 2, record 16, English, - kappa%20factor
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Kappa Factor is also known as the Active Chlorine Multiple (ACM). It is the sum of all chlorine compound additions to the first chlorination stage (converted to active chlorine equivalent, i.e. ClO2 wt% charge x 2.63) divided by the Kappa number of the pump entering the first chlorination stage. The amount of AOX formation is directly related to the Kappa factor; for any given pulp the relationship is linear in a Cl2-free sequence. An important relationship exists between the Kappa factor (and ClO2 substitution) and the tendency to form 2,3,7,8-TCDD. There is a need to operate in the vicinity of a Kappa factor of 0.17, even at high ClO2 substitution, to ensure that polychlorinated dioxins and furans are not formed. 2, record 16, English, - kappa%20factor

Record number: 16, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Une relation directe existe entre la quantité de COA et le Facteur Kappa. Dans une séquence sans chlore élémentaire, la relation est linéaire pour toutes les pâtes. Une autre relation existe entre le Facteur Kappa (et le degré de substitution en ClO2) et la tendance à former le 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Il est donc nécessaire d'opérer dans le voisinage d'un Facteur Kappa de 0.17 afin de s'assurer que des dioxines et furanes polychlorés ne puissent se former. 1, record 16, French, - facteur%20Kappa
