Record 1 2016-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Dangers and Mine Safety
  • Underground Mining
DEF

The sudden failure of walls or pillars in a mine caused by the weight or pressure of the surrounding rocks, and accompanied by a violent release of energy.

CONT

Rock bursts. In areas of very deep mining, as additional weight is supported by the pillars on the coal face, stresses may so build up that the yield point is reached. If the coal pillars, the roof, or the floor are able to yield gradually, the effects of the stresses are relieved by floor heaving, or by pillar or roof failure. Where the coal or the associated rocks are particularly strong and depths are much above average, these stresses may be relieved by rock bursts, which are relatively violent outbursts of the coal into the rooms and entries. Frequently, a large volume of gas (usually methane) is suddenly released during a rock burst in a coal mine.

OBS

for "coal burst" : Rock bursts and "coal bursts" in coal mines are generally designated by the term "bumps" or "bounces". A large proportion of these "bumps" or "bounces" are actually "coal bursts" due to fracturing of pillars and remnants and need not involve any fracturing of roof or floor rock.

OBS

for "air blast" : In former years rock bursts were sometimes referred to as "air blasts". This name originated from the fact that large quantities of rock loosened by some of the larger rock bursts displaced quantities of air, with the result that a blast of air passed through the mine workings.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sports (General)

DEF

The upward movement of the ball after it has struck the ground.

CONT

The height and direction of the bound can be affected by the nature of the surface, the amount of spin, the weather conditions and [...] the power of the strike.

CONT

The easiest way to improve your level of play is to try to hit the ball at the top of the bounce rather than as it descends to the second bounce.

CONT

PHR

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Deportes (Generalidades)
  • Juegos y competiciones (Deportes)
CONT

La pelota liftada lleva un efecto de rotación hacia adelante, lo que la hace muy lenta, pero cuando bota da un salto hacia arriba muy rápido. Es muy utilizado este efecto por los jugadores para controlar la pelota y para darle potencia al golpe sin que salga de la pista. La pelota liftada se golpea de abajo arriba.

CONT

Las pelotas que existían entonces eran de cuero, de corcho, o de cuerdas liadas, y rebotaban con mucha dificultad, por lo que casi siempre se practicaba este deporte en sitios cerrados, con un suelo preparado artificialmente que permitiera un mejor rebote.

PHR

Bote alto, desviado, pronto, vivo.

PHR

En la cima del bote.

Record 4 2005-06-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
CONT

Don't bounce: Bouncing causes you to pull muscles easier, and never really stretches the muscles. Your stretch should be very slow, and a smooth process.

CONT

CAUTION: Never bounce when stretching (called ballistic stretching). This increases your chances of incurring injury!

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement physique et culturisme
CONT

On ne donne jamais de temps de ressort ou d'à-coups lorsque l'on s'étire. Sinon vous risquez le déclenchement du réflexe myotatique d'étirement. Ce mécanisme neurophysiologique vous empêche de vous blesser en contractant le muscle à étirer et empêche donc un étirement optimal du muscle.

CONT

Ne pas donner de temps de ressort ou d'à-coups lorsque l'on s'étire.

CONT

Important : ne pas faire de temps de ressort mais une descente lente, progressive et complète.
