hectopascal: Unit of pressure in the SI system, equal to 102 Pa. 6, record 1, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Atmospheric pressure is measured in two units, hectopascals (hPa) and inches of mercury (Hg). The hectopascal is the international unit of measure for atmospheric pressure and inches of mercury are used in the U.S. for aviation purposes. 7, record 1, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In the U.S., air pressure at the surface is reported in inches of mercury while air pressure aloft is reported in millibars, also known as hectopascals (hPa). Scientists, however, generally use pressures in hectopascals. In the rest of the world, measurements are usually given in hectopascals although you will sometimes see them in centimeters of mercury, especially on older barometers. The term "hectopascals" is replacing the term "millibars." 8, record 1, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A millibar is 1000 dynes per square centimeter, or 100 pascal (Pa). Surface pressure averages around 1013 millibars. 9, record 1, English, - hectopascal

Unité de mesure de la pression atmosphérique (symb. : hPa), valant cent pascals (et équivalant au millibar). 6, record 1, French, - hectopascal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'unité légale de mesure de la pression, dans le système international, est le PASCAL(N/m²) ainsi que ses multiples et sous-multiples. [...] Une unité souvent employée est le millibar, sous-multiple du bar(système MTS), ainsi que le torr ou millimètre de mercure, unité ancienne rencontrée. Les météorologistes sont passés du millibar à l'hectopascal. 1 torr(mm Hg)=133 Pa; 1 mbar=100 Pa=1 hPa. 7, record 1, French, - hectopascal

Les signaux cellulaires passés au crible. Chaque cellule baigne dans un environnement comportant de multiples signaux chimiques : molécules émises par d’autres cellules(hormones, facteurs de croissance, neurotransmetteurs...) et molécules exogènes, telles que les médicaments ou les substances toxiques. Elle parvient pourtant à distinguer ces signaux moléculaires, grâce à un processus qui constitue sans doute l'une des inventions les plus extraordinaires du vivant : la signalisation. En captant et en «traduisant» un signal, la machinerie de signalisation permet à la cellule d’y répondre spécifiquement, par la synthèse ou l'activation d’une protéine, par exemple. 1, record 2, French, - signal%20cellulaire
