  their lives. But the rewards were worth it; a few lucrative voyages and a merchant could buy a townhouse, a carriage, perhaps a summer retreat. The merchant couldclimb the social ladder and circulate among the powerful in this highly materialistic society. This prospect of riches and the honor that accompanied them made Americancolonists willing to engage in highly speculative enterprises, such as shipping flour to the West Indies or importing goods from England by the thousands without beingcer...

• Mobilisation des lipides du tissu adipeux au cours de l’exercice physique

  I. de Glisezinski / Science & Sports 22 (2007) 280–285281 1. Introduction Le tissu adipeux blanc a pour fonction principale le sto- ckage des acides gras (AG) sous forme de triglycérides (TG) et leur libération selon les besoins énergétiques de l’organisme. La masse adipeuse représente un réservoir énergétique considé- rable (supérieur à 80 000 kcal), comparée aux faibles réserves glycogéniques. Lors de situation de stress (jeûne, exercice phy- sique) les TG sont hydrolysés pour fournir les AG...

Es jubelt nicht und klagt auch nicht, Ob Glück, ob Unglück ihn ereilt, Wer unbeirrt das Brahm erkennt Und immerdar im Ew’gen weilt.21. Wen nicht berührt die Außenwelt, Wer klug sich hält von ihr zurück, Wer in das Brahma sich versenkt, Der findet in sich selbst das Glück.22. Denn der Genuß der Sinnenwelt,...

• Voyager - astronomy.

  Voyager 1 had not yet reached the termination shock boundary. They reported that the spacecraft was near but not yet there. Both teams agreed, nevertheless, thatVoyager 1 had entered unknown territory and had embarked on the final phase of its mission, which includes exploring the termination shock boundary, the heliopauseitself, and finally, interstellar space. Voyager 2 is also due to explore these outer regions. Unlike Voyager 1, a key instrument known as a plasma detector is still functionin...

  arcade game of all time. With Pizza Time Theaters legitimizing the idea of arcades and hits such as Ms. Pac-Man , Asteroids , Donkey Kong , Tempest , Frogger , and Defender bringing new excitement to gaming, the coin-operated video game business boomed. In 1981 Americans spent 75,000 person-years and $5 billion playing video games at anestimated 4,300 arcades in the United States. Many popular arcade games also were translated for use on the Atari 2600 and its chief rivals in the homemarket—M...

• Arctic - Geography.

  The Arctic is not a frozen desert devoid of life on land or sea, even during the cold, dark winter months. Spring brings a phenomenal resurgence of plant and animal life.Low temperatures are not always the critical element—moisture, the type of soil, and available solar energy are also extremely important. Some animals adapt well toArctic conditions; for instance, a number of species of mammals and birds carry additional insulation, such as fat, in cold months. Arctic summers with extended dayli...

• South America - Geography.

  South America is dominated by relatively warm climatic regimes. Spanning nearly the entire continent along the equator is a belt of humid tropical climate that grades tothe north and south into broad zones where the length of the rainy season and the amount of rainfall diminish. These zones have wet summers and dry winters and aresubject to prolonged droughts. Droughts are a particularly serious problem in northeastern Brazil and along the northern coast of Venezuela and Colombia. The areas ofra...

• Puerto Rico - geography.

  the length of the day remains fairly constant throughout the year. San Juan has a mean July temperature of 28°C (83°F) and a mean January temperature of 25°C (77°F). The average temperature of the seawater surrounding theisland is 27°C (81°F), with little variation during the course of the year. The entire island is cooled by the trade winds from the northeast. This air also contains much water vapor. As the air is forced to rise over the mountains, it becomescooler and the water vapor condenses...

• London (England) - geography.

• Animal - biology.

  Vertebrates are customarily divided into cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, but these labels are not very precise. Biologists normally use the terms ectoderm and endoderm to describe temperature regulation more accurately. An ectoderm is an animal whose temperature is dictated by its surroundings, while an endoderm is one that keeps its body at a constant warm temperature by generating internal heat. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish are ectoderms. Although they do not maintain a constant wa...

  of the Mogollon Rim, the Little Colorado draws very little water from a relatively large watershed, usually containing a mere trickle of water in its riverbed. The ColoradoRiver’s principal tributary is the Gila River, which flows all the way across the southern part of the state from New Mexico to the California border. From the mountainsand plateaus of central Arizona, the Gila River receives the Salt, Agua Fria, and Hassayampa rivers. The Salt River is itself fed by the Verde River. The Gila...

  Gène La génétique est une branche récente de la biolo­ gie: elle date du début du xx siècle. Un gène est une « unité héréditaire» (F. Gros). Dans chacune de ses cellules, un organisme pos­ sède les instructions nécessaires à son développe­ ment: c'est l'information génétique. Ces instructions sont codées dans une mo/écule,l'ADN. La génétique humaine, outre ses applications médicales, diagnostics de maladies génétiques, met en évidence l'immense variabilité génétique des hommes. Le « génie généti...

• World Energy Supply.

  In the 1990s, oil production by non-OPEC countries remained strong and production by OPEC countries rebounded. The result at the end of the 20th century was aworld oil surplus and prices (when adjusted for inflation) that were lower than in 1972. Experts are uncertain about future oil supplies and prices. Low prices have spurred greater oil consumption, and experts question how long world petroleum reservescan keep pace with increased demand. Many of the world’s leading petroleum geologists beli...
