English to Spanish: Effects of Glyphosate on Crops General field: Science Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English “Crops that lack the thick, waxy cuticle of coca will be most susceptible to the effects of the spray. For this reason, spray drift associated with the program will be more toxic to plants than drift from ‘normal’ Roundup. Because the efficacy of the spray mixture needed to be enhanced to make it effective on coca, it follows that many other species will be more sensitive to the spray. These could include many of the crop species grown in XXXX, such as yucca, plantain, corn, and fruit trees.”
x.xx In addition to the direct effects of the herbicide, this chemical can have significant secondary effects on non-target plants, inhibiting their vitality and productivity in the long-term:
“In addition to direct mortality to nontarget plants, there are several ways in which spray drift may result in chronic long-term effects, including loss of plant vigor for years following exposure. In addition, glyphosate mixtures have been reported to result in diminished soil productivity mediated by adverse effects on nitrogen-fixing plants and their symbiotic fungi. Finally, evidence indicates that glyphosate exposure weakens plants’ immunity to fungal infections.”324
x.xx Both immediate crop destruction and long-term declines in productivity caused by the herbicidal spray are serious concerns in the XXXX-ZZZZ border region because so many local residents rely on their crops for basic subsistence.
Translation - Spanish “Los cultivos que no tienen la cutícula gruesa y cerosa de la coca serán más vulnerables a los efectos de la aspersión. Por ese motivo, la dispersión del pesticida asociada con el programa será más tóxica para las plantas que la dispersión del Roundup 'normal'. Como fue necesario optimizar la eficacia del preparado de la aspersión para que tuviera más efecto en la coca, se deduce que muchas otras especies serán más vulnerables a la aspersión. Esto podría incluir muchas especies cultivadas en XXXX, como la yuca, plátano, maíz y árboles frutales.”
x.xx Además de los efectos directos del herbicida, el glifosato puede tener importantes efectos secundarios en las plantas que no se desea eliminar, inhibiendo su vitalidad y productividad a largo plazo:
“Además de la mortalidad directa de las plantas que no se quieren eliminar, existen otras formas en que la dispersión del pesticida puede producir efectos crónicos a largo plazo, entre ellos pérdida del vigor de la planta durante los años posteriores a la exposición. Además, los informes indican que los preparados de glifosato producen pérdida de productividad del suelo a causa de los efectos adversos en las plantas que fijan nitrógeno y sus hongos simbióticos. Finalmente, las pruebas indican que la exposición al glifosato debilita la inmunidad de las plantas a las infecciones fúngicas.”
x.xx Tanto la destrucción inmediata del cultivo como las disminuciones de productividad a largo plazo ocasionadas por la aspersión de herbicidas plantean graves preocupaciones en la región fronteriza entre XXXX y ZZZZ, porque muchísimos de los lugareños dependen de sus cultivos para su subsistencia básica.
English to Spanish: Dropped Object Management System General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Petroleum Eng/Sci
Source text - English 1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to describe the actions to be taken to implement the XXXX Dropped Object Management System (DOMS).
The program has used the Dropped Object Prevention Scheme (DROPS) and is designed to promote a philosophy of hazard control in the daily operation of the rig, which means that existing checklists and maintenance programs will be utilized wherever possible to provide the necessary hazard identification and controls.
This procedure is intended as a guide to eliminating the incidence of dropped objects within drilling derrick structures, areas below the rig floor, and from cranes. As such, the overall objectives of the DOMS model are:
• Eliminate injury to people
• Eliminate the incidence of damage sustained by dropped objects
• Eliminate damage to other associated equipment
Translation - Spanish 5.0 PROPÓSITO
La finalidad de este procedimiento es describir las medidas que se deben adoptar para implementar el Sistema de Gestión de Objetos Caídos (DOMS por sus iniciales en inglés).
El programa ha utilizado el Programa para Prevenir la Caída de Objetos (DROPS por sus iniciales en inglés) y está ideado para fomentar una filosofía de control de los peligros en el manejo diario del equipo de perforación, lo cual significa que las listas de verificación existentes y los programas de mantenimiento se utilizarán cada vez que sea posible para brindar la identificación y los controles de peligros que sean necesarios.
Este procedimiento busca ser una guía para impedir la caída de objetos dentro de las estructuras de la torre de perforación, en zonas inferiores al piso del equipo de perforación, y desde las grúas. Como tales, los objetivos generales del modelo DOMS son los siguientes:
• Eliminar las lesiones del personal
• Eliminar la incidencia de daños sufridos por la caída de objetos
• Eliminar daños a otros equipos asociados

Source text - English Confidentiality Agreement
Severability
To the extent permitted by law, the Parties waive any provision of law that would render any provision in this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be given no effect by the Parties and shall not form part of this Agreement. Provided that the rights and obligations of each Party are not materially and adversely affected, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Parties will use their best efforts to negotiate a provision in replacement of the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is consistent with applicable law and achieves, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the Parties.
Waiver and Non-exclusion of Remedies
A Party's delay or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, right or remedy or prevent such Party from enforcing any or all provisions of this Agreement and exercising any rights or remedies in the future. To be effective any waiver must be in writing. The doctrine of affirmation of contract by election shall not apply to this Agreement.
No remedy conferred by any provision of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy except as expressly provided for in this Agreement and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given in this Agreement or existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.
Translation - Spanish Convenio de Confidencialidad
Divisibilidad
En la medida que la ley lo permita, las Partes renuncian a cualquier disposición de la ley que pudiera volver no válida, ilícita, o no exigible alguna disposición del presente Acuerdo. Si cualquier disposición del presente Acuerdo se considera no válida, ilícita, o no exigible, entonces las Partes no darán validez a esa disposición y ésta no formará parte del presente Acuerdo. Siempre que los derechos y obligaciones de cada Parte no sean afectados de manera adversa y sustancial, todas las otras disposiciones del presente Acuerdo seguirán en plena vigencia y efecto, y las Partes emplearán sus mejores esfuerzos para negociar una disposición que reemplace a la que se considera no válida, ilícita, o no exigible, que se ajuste al derecho aplicable y logre, lo máximo posible, la intención original de las Partes.
Renuncia y no exclusión de recursos
Cuando una de las Partes se demore en exigir o no exija una disposición del presente Acuerdo, o cuando se demore en ejercer o no ejerza un derecho o recurso, ello no constituirá renuncia a dicha disposición, derecho, o recurso, ni evitará que dicha Parte exija el cumplimiento de cualquiera o todas las disposiciones del presente Acuerdo, y que ejerza un derecho o recurso en el futuro. Toda renuncia se debe realizar por escrito para que tenga validez. La doctrina de ratificación del contrato por elección no se aplicará al presente Acuerdo.
Ningún recurso concedido por una disposición del presente Acuerdo tiene la finalidad de excluir a algún otro recurso salvo que esté expresamente establecido en el presente Acuerdo, y cada uno de los recursos tendrán carácter acumulativo y serán además de los otros recursos otorgados en el presente Acuerdo o que existan conforme al derecho o al sistema de equidad, por ley o de otro modo.
