imprimerie.
de 417 imprimeurs en 1500. En 1476, une grammaire grecque est imprimée entièrement en caractères grecs à Milan, et une Bible hébraïque est imprimée à Soncino en 1488. Également en 1476, l'imprimerie est introduite en Angleterre par William Caxton, tandis qu'en 1539 Juan Pablos installe une presse dans la ville de Mexico, apportant par là même l'imprimerie au Nouveau Monde. Les imprimeurs du nord de l'Europe produisent principalement des livres religieux, des bibles, des psautiers et des missels....

DURÉE, substantif féminin.
conscience, 1889, page 104. — Expressions diverses. a) Durée concrète. Car notre durée n'est pas un instant qui remplace un instant : il n'y aurait alors jamais que du présent, pas de prolongement du passé dans l'actuel, pas d'évolution, pas de durée concrète. La durée est le progrès continu du passé qui ronge l'avenir et qui gonfle en avançant ( HENRI BERGSON, L'Évolution créatrice, 1907, page 4 ). b) Durée pure. La durée toute pure est la forme que prend la succession de nos états de conscienc...

Internal-Combustion Engine.
any Otto-cycle engine and in actual engines today is slightly more than 40 percent. Diesels are, in general, slow-speed engines with crankshaft speeds of 100 to 750revolutions per minute (rpm) as compared to 2500 to 5000 rpm for typical Otto-cycle engines. Some types of diesel, however, have speeds up to 2000 rpm. Becausediesels use compression ratios of 14 or more to 1, they are generally more heavily built than Otto-cycle engines, but this disadvantage is counterbalanced by theirgreater effici...

planétologie - astronomie.
été la première indication de l’existence d’un champ magnétique très intense sur une planète autre que la Terre (le champ magnétique de Jupiter est 17 000 fois supérieur àcelui de la Terre). Le rayonnement radio décimétrique (de fréquence comprise entre 1 000 MHz et 3 000 MHz) émis par Jupiter est interprété comme l’émission synchrotronde particules chargées relativistes, piégées dans le champ magnétique jovien interne. Ainsi, les ceintures de radiations joviennes ont-elles été découvertes deux...

Rain Forest.
dropped into the heart of the forest by helicopters. Suspended from the crane’s long, movable arm is a large gondola that functions as a mobile treetop laboratory.Moving from tree to tree, forest researchers collect specimens, conduct experiments, and observe life in the canopy frontier. The highest stratum of the rain forest is made up of the emergent trees, those individuals that stick up above the forest canopy. Emergents, which do not form acontinuous layer, are usually the giants of the for...

Turkey - country.
has a general elevation of 900 to 1,500 m (3,000 to 5,000 ft) above sea level. The eastern highlands region is the most mountainous and rugged portion of Turkey; Mount Ararat (Ağrı Da ğı) is the highest peak in the country at 5,165 m (16,945ft). Many Christians and Jews believe it to be the same Mount Ararat mentioned in the Bible as the place where Noah’s ark came to rest. The eastern highlands are thesource for both the Tigris (Dicle) and Euphrates (Fir āt)—two of southwestern Asia’s principal...

Australia - country.
itself forms most of the border between New South Wales and Victoria. Considerable lengths of the Murray, Darling, and Murrumbidgee rivers are navigable during thewet seasons. The central plains region, also known as the Channel Country, is interlaced by a network of rivers. During the rainy season these rivers flood the low-lying countryside,but in dry months they become merely a series of water holes. The Victoria, Daly, and Roper rivers drain a section of the Northern Territory. In Queensland...
