Suppose 2 hours of hunting yields 1 deer; or 4 hours yields 1 beaver. Then the price ratio between deer and beaver will be set by comparative labor time alone: the price of 1 beaver will equal 2 deer. Why 2 deer per beaver? Because the price ratio can be computed in necessary labor time as 4 hours (of sweaty works) /2 hours (of sweaty work).  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - price%20ratio

The Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-3 is an Exploration Systems’ transition flight experiment in the Human System Research and Technology area. BCAT-3 provides a unique opportunity to explore fundamental physics and simultaneously develop important future technology, including computers operating on light, complex biomolecular pharmaceuticals, clean sources of geothermal power, and novel rocket engines for interplanetary travel. These studies depend entirely on the microgravity environment provided by the International Space Station (ISS); in all other locations accessible to science, gravity dominates and precludes investigation of any other effects of interest. The experiment itself [consists of] photographing samples of colloidal particles with a digital camera onboard the ISS. Colloids are tiny nanoscale spheres of plexiglass a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair (submicron radius) that are suspended in a fluid. They are ubiquitous (e.g., milk, smoke, and paint) and therefore interesting to study directly. Colloids are also small enough that they behave much like atoms and so can be used to model all sorts of phenomena because their size, shape, and interactions can be controlled. The 10 samples in BCAT-3 are made from the same ingredients, each a recipe with different proportions, and are grouped into three experiments: critical point, binary alloy, and surface crystallization.

BCAT-3 is comprised of three separate experiments, which are individually referred to as a binary alloy (BCAT-3-BA), surface crystallization (BCAT-3-SC) and critical point (BCAT-3-CP). The critical point investigation is continuing with additional samples on future ISS [International Space Station] expeditions and will be referred to as Binary Colloidal Alloy Test - 4. BCAT-4 will consist of two sets of samples referred to as BCAT - 3 and 4: Critical Point (BCAT-3-4-CP) and BCAT-4:Polydisperse (BCAT-4-Poly). ... The Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-3 (BCAT-3) hardware supported three investigations in which ISS crews photographed samples of colloidal particles (tiny nanoscale spheres suspended in liquid) to document liquid/gas phase changes, growth of binary crystals, and the formation of colloidal crystals confined to a surface. Colloids are small enough that in a microgravity environment without sedimentation and convection, they behave much as atoms and so can be used to model all sorts of phenomena because their size, shape, and interactions can be controlled. The BCAT-3 payload consists of ten small samples of colloid alloys in which the microscopic colloid particles are mixed together into a liquid. These ten samples are contained within a small case that is the size of a school textbook. At the start of an experiment run, all ten samples are shaken to completely remix the colloid samples, much in the same way that salad dressing must be shaken to remix oil and vinegar. After the samples are mixed, what remains is periodically photographed using a digital camera until the colloid and liquid components of those samples have separated or the polymers have formed crystals. The samples can be remixed to repeat the experiment. The ten samples in BCAT-3 were selected as part of three separate experiments examining different physical processes: critical point, binary alloys, and surface crystallization.  5, fiche 2, Anglais, - binary%20alloy%20colloidal%20test

Systems known ... distribute content decryption keys in encrypted form to a tamper-resistant cryptographic unit connected to (or part of) the user’s playback device. ... Because smartcards and other tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware commonly used to implement the cryptographic unit often have limited performance and bandwidth, the cryptographic unit is often used to generate short-lived subkeys from the main content decryption key. These subkeys are then transmitted to a less secure portion of the system, such as the main playback device, and used to decrypt the content itself. The security of the system thus depends on the security of the cryptographic unit. If the cryptographic unit is compromised, attackers can determine the decryption keys and algorithms and use these to access content without authorization (e.g. by emulating an authorized cryptographic unit and/or the entire playback device).  3, fiche 3, Anglais, - cryptographic%20unit

Even when no immediate danger to crops is inflicted, agricultural production can still suffer in flood plains (of rivers) because of the unpredictable arrival and magnitude of the flood unless crops are suited to the inundation. In many parts of the developing world seasonal flood recession cultivation provides basic food requirements and is particularly vulnerable to irregular inundation.  1, fiche 5, Anglais, - flood%20recession%20cultivation

[One of] the main ways of monitoring a digestion unit [is] as follows: analysis of the gas. Continuous measurement of CO2 and CH4 content is the quickest method of revealing any anomaly in the process of digestion. In particular, it reveals the presence of toxic or inhibiting substances in the reactor. This type of check can be used with advantage at very large plants, because the operating staff are warned immediately.  1, fiche 6, Anglais, - inhibiting%20substance

La mesure continue de la teneur en CO2 et en CH4 dans le gaz est la méthode la plus rapide pour déceler toute anomalie dans le processus de digestion. Elle permet, en particulier, de détecter la présence de corps toxiques ou inhibiteurs dans le réacteur. Ce contrôle peut être très avantageusement utilisé sur les installations de grande importance, car il alerte immédiatement le personnel d'exploitation.  1, fiche 6, Français, - corps%20inhibiteur
