I sort of feel like saying, "Aw, man, what a time for multitran.ru to go down!" But things are nowhere near desperate, not with sentences along the lines of:

Based on existing understandings of anionic lattice disordering, it may be assumed that point defects in LaF₃ form as the result of thermal defects, primarily via the Schottky mechanism.

Although this may sound like a highly technical sentence, it's actually pretty easy to parse, if you have some experience with the lingo (and I do, courtesy of Soviet Physics - Crystallography).

Still, there are the occasional terms that I'd like to double-check, and it is something of a pain for multitran.ru to be down.

* * *This is the third day running that I've managed to exercise (walking). Yesterday's session on the Nordic Trac was the usual boring grind; I need to figure out a way - either by listening to something or by reading something - to help make the time go by faster. Today, when I took a there-and-back walk, my prescribed time slipped away almost without my noticing it, and I wasn't doing anything in particular to help the time pass.

Cheers...
