Airy wave theoryIn fluid dynamics, Airy wave theory (often referred to as linear wave theory) gives a linearised description of the propagation of gravity waves on the surface of a homogeneous fluid layer. The theory assumes that the fluid layer has a uniform mean depth, and that the fluid flow is inviscid, incompressible and irrotational. This theory was first published, in correct form, by George Biddell Airy in the 19th century.
Anatomie végétalePlant anatomy or Phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants. Originally it included plant morphology, the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure. Plant anatomy is now frequently investigated at the cellular level, and often involves the sectioning of tissues and microscopy.
Fixed effects modelIn statistics, a fixed effects model is a statistical model in which the model parameters are fixed or non-random quantities. This is in contrast to random effects models and mixed models in which all or some of the model parameters are random variables. In many applications including econometrics and biostatistics a fixed effects model refers to a regression model in which the group means are fixed (non-random) as opposed to a random effects model in which the group means are a random sample from a population.
Protection de l'eauvignette|redresse=1.5|Économies d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre associées à différents changements de mode de vie (en kg équivalent par an). Les équipements qui allègent la consommation d'eau permettent de réduire l'empreinte carbone (liée au captage, au transport de l'eau, à l'entretien des réseaux des eaux usés, etc.). La protection de l'eau est l'effort humain de garder l'eau. Il faut garder l'équilibre écologique. Les océans et d'autres eaux sont touchées par la pollution. L'acidification des océans a lieu.
Eau potablethumb|L'eau distribuée au robinet en France doit répondre aux normes de qualité des eaux destinées à la consommation humaine, édictées au niveau européen. Une eau liquide est dite potable (du latin potabilis, qui signifie « qui peut être bu ») lorsqu'elle présente certaines caractéristiques la rendant propre à la consommation humaine. Les standards de référence dans ce domaine diffèrent selon les époques, les pays et, dans certains pays, selon l'autorité responsable de la définition.
Stratification (vegetation)Stratification in the field of ecology refers to the vertical layering of a habitat; the arrangement of vegetation in layers. It classifies the layers (sing. stratum, pl. strata) of vegetation largely according to the different heights to which their plants grow. The individual layers are inhabited by different animal and plant communities (stratozones). The following layers are generally distinguished: forest floor (root and moss layers), herb, shrub, understory and canopy layers.
