3D [tridimensional] video is a generic term for a display technology that allows viewers to experience video content with stereoscopic effect. 3D video provides an illusion of a third dimension (e.g., depth) to current video display technology, which is typically limited to only height and width (2D) [bidimensional]. A 3D device works much like 3D at a movie theater. A screen showing 3D content concurrently displays two separate images of a same object ... One image (right image) is intended for a viewer's right eye (R) and is captured by using R-camera ...

However, the dynamic coupling between the arms and the base will have a serious impact on the spacecraft attitude and the hand motion of each arm.

The active debris removal (ADR) concept has continuously evolved for the debris removal from the LEO [low Earth orbit] region. One of the evolving ADR methods is space robotics which has continuously matured over a couple of decades. In space robotics, the satellite system consists of a robotic arm mounted over it which can be called a debris chaser satellite. The main function of the debris chaser satellite is to chase, capture and de-orbit the space junk to a very low earth orbit. 2, record 8, English, - chaser%20satellite

Différentes techniques de capture de débris de grandes tailles ont été proposées et peuvent être classées en trois classes : une première classe dans laquelle un lien rigide entre le débris et l'engin chasseur est établi par exemple au travers de bras robotiques ou de mécanismes de saisie ou de prise; une deuxième classe dans laquelle un lien souple entre le débris et l'engin chasseur est mis en œuvre par exemple en utilisant des filets ou des harpons; une troisième classe, formée par des systèmes de capture sans contact de l'engin chasseur avec le débris et utilisant par exemple une projection de mousse ou un guidage par faisceau d'ions. 2, record 8, French, - satellite%20chasseur

Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide is a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere by capturing it directly from major point sources and injecting it into sedimentary strata. Carbon dioxide can be sequestered by stratigraphic and structural trapping in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, by solubility trapping in reservoir oil and formation brines, and by adsorption trapping in coal beds. In addition, CO2 can be stored or sequestered for extremely long periods of time in deep saline aquifers. 4, record 13, English, - geological%20storage

Parmi les méthodes les plus prometteuses pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, le stockage (ou la séquestration) géologique du CO2 est largement étudié.

... in many plants water availability is one of the most important factors limiting photosynthesis under natural conditions. Because water is lost from leaves through the same pores (known as stomata) that carbon dioxide enters, the plant must balance carbon dioxide uptake against water loss. Under conditions of limited water availability, the stomata restrict water loss, which exerts a strong control on the net rate of photosynthesis by limiting the availability of carbon dioxide within the leaf. 1, record 14, English, - carbon%20dioxide%20uptake

Ce phénomène est un des éléments essentiels de la photosynthèse. Comme pour tous les transferts de fluides, cette absorption est contrôlée par une différence de potentiel qui est ici équivalente à la différence de concentration en gaz carbonique de l'air et celle en équilibre à l'intérieur de la plante au niveau où ce gaz est transformé par voie biochimique. Cette absorption dépend aussi des résistances au transfert gazeux. On en distingue habituellement quatre : la résistance dans la couche limite d'air au voisinage de la feuille, la résistance stomatique, la résistance au transfert dans les tissus de la feuille ou mésophylle et la résistance à la carboxylation de nature chimique. Par l'intermédiaire de la résistance stomatique qui est éminemment variable, l'absorption en gaz carbonique est reliée à la transpiration.
