In connecting straight(tangent) sections of roadway with a horizontal curve, several options are available. The most obvious of these is the simple circular curve, which is just a curve with a single, constant radius. Other options include reverse curves, compound curves, and spiral curves. Reverse curves generally consist of two consecutive curves that turn in opposite directions. They are used to shift the alignment of a highway laterally. The curves used are usually circular and have equal radii.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - reverse%20curve

Sharp horizontal curves, particularly on interchange ramps, have been found by a number of highway agencies to require warning signs to advise heavy vehicles of safe operating speeds.... Thirty-seven percent of highway agencies had found a need to reconstruct particular ramp curves to change their radius or superelevation.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - ramp%20curve

Recent declines in abundance of skates... have heightened the need for validated age and growth estimates... skate vertebral centra collected seasonally... were sectioned using a mass processing method, then used to reconstruct growth in each species.... Total counts were obtained by summing visible and estimated band counts. Growth curves were then fitted to all length-at-age data including sections deemed unreadable near the focus. The location of the birth band(BB) in each species was confirmed by comparing suspected birth band radius(BR) measurements with [vertebral radius(VR) ] measurements of available late-term embryos... and/or early young-of-the-year fish... Regressions between VR and [total length] for each species, along with published hatch lengths, were also used to verify the location of the BB along the corpus calcareum of each section...  6, fiche 3, Anglais, - birth%20band

Birthmarks are usually represented by an angle change along the centrum face of whole vertebrae or along [the] intermedialia-corpus calcareum interface with an associated ring on the corpus calcareum in sectioned centra, but this feature may not be distinct in either.  5, fiche 3, Anglais, - birth%20band
