The clincher was an isolated battlefield that the Germans would have difficulty reinforcing. The date was set for May 1, 19...

Parce qu'il gênait les sophistes, il a été condamné à mort. Plus tard, un de ses élèves a voulu laisser une trace de lui et de sa morale : il s'agit de Platon. Alo...

  Un navire est improductif lorsqu’il est immobilisé dans un port. La réduction de ces temps morts a d’abord été obtenue par l’accélération des opérations de manutention grâce à l’unitisation des charges, qui permet l’automatisation du chargement et du déchargement. D’autre part, dans le transport maritime, une large partie des coûts est affectée aux échanges dans les ports. On a donc cherché à les réduire au minimum en supprimant les ruptures de charge de la marchandise entre les différents modes...

• Venus (planet) - astronomy.

  level winds circle the planet at 360 km/h (225 mph), making a complete rotation in only four days. These winds are said to super-rotate because they travel muchfaster than the rotation of the planet itself.

The motions of descending probes, however, have shown that the bulk of Venus’s tremendously dense atmosphere, closer to the planet’s surface, is almoststagnant. From th...

To accomplish this, the United States determined that the Spanish navy had to be destroyed wherever it was found. Thus the U.S. war objectives...
