In an embodiment, the hand ... may start a training session in a semi-closed position, so it has room to open or close. The speed of the movement of [the] hand ... may depend on information provided by kinematic sensors ... For instance, the kinematic sensors ... may provide a proportional control value to regulate the speed of movement of the hand ... In an embodiment, the kinematic sensors ... provide a value between 0 and 1 to the VR [virtual reality] control module ... which reflects the speed of intended hand movement. If the value is closer to 0, the hand movement is correspondingly slow. If the value is closer to 1, the hand movement is correspondingly fast. In another embodiment, the speed of the movement of the hand ... may depend on a measurement of the EMG [electromyographic] signal provided by the user. 2, record 1, English, - hand%20gesture

La récupération et l'utilisation de données caractérisant les mouvements physiques d’un individu sont de plus en plus fréquentes dans le domaine de la santé, des jeux vidéo et de la musique. [...] Le système S comprend en outre un moyen de configuration des mouvements reconnus par le terminal T, par exemple un logiciel de configuration. Le moyen de configuration permet d’allouer, à une série de données de mouvement, une commande à destination du terminal T. À titre d’exemple, une série de données de mouvement peut correspondre à un mouvement de la main vers le haut et être associée à une commande d’augmentation du volume sonore. 2, record 1, French, - mouvement%20de%20la%20main

The ATP molecule consists of a nitrogen-containing organic base (adenine), a sugar (ribose) and a string of three phosphate groups .... In most of the reactions where ATP serves as an energy currency only the terminal phosphate group is involved. ATP is formed by attaching a third phosphate to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) with the elimination of water. The reaction does not proceed spontaneously; on the contrary, a substantial quantity of energy must be supplied. Much of that energy can then be recovered in the reverse reaction, in which ATP is split into ADP and inorganic phosphate. 4, record 2, English, - inorganic%20phosphate

La molécule d’ATP comprend une base organique qui contient un groupe azoté(l'adénine), un sucre(le ribose) et une série de trois groupements phosphate [...] La plupart des réactions où l'ATP fournit l'énergie ne font intervenir que le phosphate terminal. L'ATP se forme par addition d’un troisième phosphate à l'adénosine-diphosphate(ADP) et élimination d’une molécule d’eau. La réaction ne s’effectue pas spontanément; elle nécessite au contraire l'apport d’une quantité importante d’énergie dont la majeure partie peut ensuite être récupérée au cours de la réaction inverse dans laquelle l'ATP est scindé en ADP et en phosphate inorganique. 3, record 2, French, - phosphate%20inorganique

Although the source ELSCI makes a slight distinction between "uranium series" and "uranium-radium series", defining the first as "The series of nuclides resulting from the decay of uranium-238" and defining the second as the "Radioactive decay series starting with U-238 and ending with the inactive lead isotope with mass number 206", it is the same in meaning.
