Over time, a consolidated ice covered is referred to as first year ice. It has a high brine content and generally a smooth surface. In the subsequent summer melt period, brine drainage reduces the brine concentration, and a low saline ice with air voids is produced. This is known as multi year ice. 3, record 1, English, - consolidated%20ice%20cover

In parenteral solutions, the dextrose concentration is indicated by a "D" followed by its concentration in water(W) or normal saline(NS). For example, D5 or D5W indicates that a solution contains 5 percent dextrose in water. Similarly, D5/N5 means that a solution contains 5 percent dextrose in normal saline. 1, record 2, English, - 5%20percent%20dextrose%20in%20water

Nasal provocative challenge. Specific nasal reactivity can be determined by exposing the nasal mucosa to allergens. A simple technique is to deliver one drop of antigen on the nasal mucosa and to compare this response with normal saline applied on the other side. The dosage starts at the concentration that induces a positive skin test. Response can be assessed by direct rhinoscopy. 1, record 3, English, - nasal%20provocative%20challenge

Provocation inhalatoire (nasale et bronchique). Les tests cutanés échouant parfois complètement, certains médecins utilisent une provocation inhalatoire pour les allergies aux substances inhalées. Pour rechercher une allergie aux moisissures, par exemple, on place au bout d'un cure-dents une petite quantité de moisissure stérilisée réduite en poudre que l'on fait «priser» au patient. En cas d'allergie, on doit s'attendre à l'apparition des symptômes dans les cinq minutes qui suivent. (Paelten-Sharon, Les allergies, 1987, page 290). 1, record 3, French, - provocation%20inhalatoire

[In a restricted marine environment] If the climate is arid, evaporation exceeds inflow, and the water becomes hypersaline.... Under conditions of aridity, the restricted sea has adjacent lands with little or no stream action other than torrential episodes which may occasionally wash in detrital material. The sea may attain high temperatures, with excessive evaporation, and development of salinity greater than that of the open sea. Excessive evaporation produces a lowering of water level, and induces a permanent inflowing current of normal sea water across, or through, the restricting barriers.... If it were not for the continued inflow current, the history of restricted seas in arid climates would be short. The water would completely evaporate, leaving behind a relatively thin coating of saline residue. Maintenance of inflow from the open sea provides a continuous supply of dissolved salts, and a balance is reached between evaporation and inflow for given conditions. Inevitably, the concentration of salts within the restricted area is increased and may reach the saturation point for some. 2, record 6, English, - restricted%20arid%20environment

[L']environnement restreint aride [est un des milieux marins de la sédimentation chimique.] Dans cet environnement l'évaporation locale excède l'apport d'eau par les fleuves; exemples: Mer Rouge, Méditerranée, Kara Boughaz (dans la Caspienne). Dans ces conditions la densité des eaux de surface détermine les courants de convection. Si le seuil qui restreint le milieu est suffisamment bas, les eaux denses s'écoulent vers le large tandis que l'eau marine moins dense pénètre en surface dans le bassin: c'est le cas en Méditerranée et en Mer Rouge. Si le seuil est élevé, à faible profondeur sous la surface, il y a peu d'écoulement des eaux denses et salines vers le large, et la salinité s'accroît; c'est le cas dans le golfe de Kara Boughaz (salinité: 165 %). Dans ce milieu la surface Eh=O coïncide avec l'interface de dépôt. Cet environnement est, typiquement, celui du dépôt des «évaporites» ou dépôts salins, «stratifiés» : gypse anhydrite, halite (sel gemme), dolomite «primaire» ou syngénétique (avec éventuellement calcite), polyhalite, sylvite, etc. 1, record 6, French, - environnement%20restreint%20aride
