In the process, it binds four protons from the inner aqueous phase to make water, and in addition translocates four protons across the membrane, helping to establish a transmembrane difference of proton electrochemical potential that the ATP synthase then uses to synthesize ATP.

Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge ( Cladium mariscus ), rushes, or heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof.

Daniel Defoe enlivens this account of the Waveney's Broads course: The River Waveney is a considerable river, and of a deep and full channel, navigable for large barges as high as Beccles ; it runs for a course of about fifty miles, between the two counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, as a boundary to both ; and pushing on, tho ' with a gentle stream, towards the sea, no one would doubt, but, that when they see the river growing broader and deeper, and going directly towards the sea, even to the edge of the beach ; that is to say, within a mile of the main ocean ; no stranger, I say, but would expect to see its entrance into the sea at that place, and a noble harbour for ships at the mouth of it ; when on a sudden, the land rising high by the sea-side, crosses the head of the river, like a dam, checks the whole course of it, and it returns, bending its course west, for two miles, or thereabouts ; and then turning north, thro ' another long course of meadows ( joining to those just now mention'd ) seeks out the River Yare, that it may join its water with hers, and find their way to the sea together.

In 1864, the harbour of La Rochelle ( area of the " Bassin à flot " behind the water locks ), was the site for the maiden dive experiments of the first mechanically-powered submarine in the World, Plongeur, commanded by Marie-Joseph-Camille Doré, a native of La Rochelle.
