Fiche 1 2024-10-30

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Nutritive Elements (Biological Sciences)
  • Dietetics
CONT

The body requires a number of minerals in order to maintain its proper functioning. The minerals are used for a variety of physiological processes such as building blood and bone, making hormones, regulating heartbeat, and more. There are two types of minerals. Macrominerals are needed in large amounts. Trace minerals are needed in very small amounts. The macrominerals are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. The trace minerals are iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.

OBS

... microminerals are needed in amounts lower than 100 mg [milligrams]/day ...

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Optics
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

... a spectroscope or spectrograph... are effectively the same thing except that a spectroscope is simply used for visual inspection(that is, your eye is the detector), while a spectrograph includes some means(photographic film or an electronic detector) for recording the spectrum for analysis. In professional astronomy these days there is very little need for a spectroscope... a spectrograph in its simplest form,... is a light-tight box with a small(often narrow rectangular or adjustable) opening to let light in, a grating to break the light into its components, and a "detector" of some kind placed at the proper angle and distance from the grating to record the spectrum of the wavelength range of interest. Telescopes are used to gather the faint light from distant objects, and the spectrographs are placed at the focus of the telescope to analyze the light.

Français

Domaine(s)

DEF

Appareil équipé d'un récepteur d'images qui explore le spectre dans l'espace (plaque photographique, récepteurs photoélectriques d'image).

CONT

Les spectrographes possèdent un système dispersif (prisme, réseau), comme les spectromètres mais, à la différence de ceux-ci, ils reçoivent et enregistrent sous forme d'image la totalité des radiations dispersées.

Fiche 5 2004-08-27

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Optical Telecommunications
CONT

Fiber optics depend on pulses of light, transmitted through fine transparent fibers, rather than on pulses of electric current sent through conducting wires. The purpose is to transmit information rather than power. By proper modulation of the light signals, a very wide information bandwidth can be achieved, and because the fibers can be made thin, a large bundle can be accommodated in a single cable of comparatively small diameter. The signals are not vulnerable to eavesdropping, nor are they susceptible to jamming or to transmission of damaging currents due to an electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear explosion. Fiber optics are replacing electric wires for many applications, including computer links.

  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

The anti-g suit system actuator design is similar to the dynamic seat actuator design. It is a combination of hydraulic and pneumatic actuators. The suit is inflated pneumatically; however, the air is controlled by a hydraulic actuator which acts on a control bellows which maintains the proper airflow to the suit. This technique provides the suit with very good pressure response during both inflation and deflation. Such response would be difficult with pneumatic control alone. Similar to the seat and lap belt, the system includes position feedback.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
CONT

In agricultural regions where water supply is limited. Germinox treated seeds utilise the available water more efficiently, thus reducing watering quantity.

OBS

Watering hints--proper watering(quantity & frequency) is very important! To conserve water & retain elements in the root zone while improving effectiveness of plant food & chemicals, do not overwater.... Morning watering is best! Soaker hoses often help water penetration near curbs and hard to get dry spots.

Subject field(s)
  • Lamp Components

  • Electrical Engineering
CONT

There are three types of fluorescent circuits : rapid start, instant start and preheat. The preheat circuit was used when fluorescent lamp first came available. This technology is very little used today, except for low-wattage magnetic ballast applications such as compact fluorescents. A separate starting switch, called a starter, is used to aid in forming the arc. The filament needs some time to reach proper temperature so the lamp does not strike for a few seconds.

Fiche 15 2000-04-28

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

A mixing device in which a jet of gas is used to entrain primary air at a rate proportional to the gas flow rate.

CONT

An inspirator mixer, does not require a blower but does require high pressure gas,(can be dangerous) and is not very economical or efficient. The tip or nozzle is usually always a flame retention type tip. The reason this burner requires high pressure gas is that the gas needs to be moving at a high rate of speed in order to induce enough air for proper combustion. It is usually used for propane and in a situation where no electricity is available. If you have high pressure gas it is recommended that you use a regulator and switch to an aspirator mixer type system.

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

From a pedagogical standpoint, Brown and Burton note that grading based on the number and type of bugs or misconceptions manifested in a test would be fairer and more amenable to proper remediation than usual grading schemes based on the number of right and wrong answers. Since this proposal for more informative grading is backed by a practical method and puts to good pedagogical use the ability of computers to deal precisely with complex information, I hope that it will have an impact beyond the research laboratory. However, more proofs of feasibility to publicize this type of knowledge-oriented testing may be required before it can be widely adopted, since constructing theories of bugs is a very laborious process.
