" Il ne pleuvait presque pas depuis trois ans, dit Akalé Yimmer, du village de Wadla. En 1971, la récolte a été très mauvaise.En 1972, on a dû manger une partie des semences et même emprunter du grain pour survivre. En février 1973, les " petites pluies" n'ont pas eu lieu, qu'est-ce qu'on pouvait faire ? Moi, j'avais deux lopins de terre. Le premier, je l'avais hypothéqué pourpouvoir emprunter deux sacs de teff et, comme je n'ai pas pu rendre le grain, j'ai perdu mon champ. Le deuxième, j'ai dû...

virus (biologie) (faune & Flore).
À la suite de l’assemblage de leurs composants, les virus s’agglomèrent dans le cytoplasme, sous la surface de la membrane cellulaire. Pour certains, le processus delibération s’accompagne d’une destruction de la cellule infectée. C’est le cas des bactériophages, dont la sortie provoque la lyse des bactéries infectées. Pour d’autres, des bourgeons se forment sur la membrane cellulaire sans détruire la cellule, et les virus sortent, emportant le bout de membrane plasmique qui les entoure. L’infe...

ATMOSPHÈRE
GÉNÉRALITÉS
DESCRIPTION
L'atmosphère est la couche gazeuse qui entoure notre planète et qui s'étend de sa
surface jusqu'à une hauteur difficile à établir, mais que, par convention, on place à
environ 1 000 km d'altitude.
2 La vapeur d’eau se concentre près de la surface terrestre, où elle peut atteindre 4 % du volume de toute l'atmosphère, mais elle est pratiquement absente au- dessus de 10 km. L’eau sous forme de vapeur n’est pas un constituant passif, mais elle interagit avec le rayonnement solaire et avec l’énergie réémise par la Terre chauffée par le Soleil. La quantité de vapeur d’eau qui peut rester dans l'atmosphère dépend de la température. En général, l’air chaud contient plus de vapeur d’eau que l’air...

La théorie d'Oparine fut confortée par les découvertes d'un paléontologistefrançais qui identifia des structures de ce type, datées de 3 milliards d'années : les coccoïdes, probables ancêtres des bactéries. En revanche, l'apparition des protéines cellulaires posait un problème plus embarrassant. La question était la suivante : quelle molécule est apparue en premier ?

La Communauté européenne mit alors en œuvre une politique privilégiant essentiellement deux pistes : le charbon et l’énergie nucléaire. Priorité fut d’abord donnée à la réduction de l’utilisation des combustibles fossiles, en particulier le pétrole. Face à la hausse du prix des carburants, on entreprit d’utiliser ces combustibles avec parcimonie ; en outre, des améliorations considérables furent réalisées quant au rendement énergétique dans les années 1980. De plus, les choix des consommateurs s...

Des pouvoirs de résolution encore plus élevés peuvent être atteints en espaçant les antennes sur des milliers de kilomètres. Mais il devient alors plus difficile de transmettredirectement les signaux de chaque antenne en un lieu de traitement commun : les signaux captés par chaque antenne sont donc enregistrés, puis expédiés vers un centrede traitement informatique. Cette technique d'interférométrie à très large base (VLBI, pour Very Long Baseline Interferometry) requiert l'utilisation d'horloge...

and by external arches, called flying buttresses. Consequently, the thick walls of Romanesque architecture could be largely replaced by thinner walls with glass windows,and the interiors could reach unprecedented heights. A revolution in building techniques thus occurred. With the Gothic vault, a ground plan could take on a variety of shapes. The general plan of the cathedrals, however, consisting of a long three-aisled nave interceptedby a transept and followed by a shorter choir and sanctuary,...

thermostat. When the heat in a house falls, the thermostat responds by switching the furnace on, and when the temperature is too warm, the thermostat switches thefurnace off. Usually, the change that a hormone produces also serves to regulate that hormone's secretion. For example, parathyroid hormone causes the body toincrease the level of calcium in the blood. As calcium levels rise, the secretion of parathyroid hormone then decreases. This feedback mechanism allows for tight controlover hormon...
