ITS [14 records]

Record 1 2023-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
DEF

[An infection that is often] transmitted by sexual contact, which includes both heterosexual and homosexual behavior ...

OBS

In this context, sexual contact is more than just sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal) and also includes kissing, oral-genital contact, and the use of sexual "toys," such as vibrators.

OBS

The term "STI" is slowly replacing "STD" (sexually transmitted disease) in order to include [asymptomatic infections, such as HIV].

OBS

sexually transmitted disease, venereal disease: These terms appear under "disease" in the Dorland's illustrated medical dictionary.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines
DEF

Maladie infectieuse qui peut être contractée ou transmise lors des rapports [ou contacts] sexuels.

OBS

Les termes construits avec «infection» tendent à remplacer ceux construits avec «maladie», car ils tiennent compte davantage des infections asymptomatiques, telle l'infection à VIH.

OBS

Les termes construits avec «transmissible» sont à privilégier, car la caractéristique commune à toutes les ITS est qu'elles peuvent être transmises sexuellement. Dans les faits, la voie par laquelle l'infection a été transmise importe peu.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Enfermedades humanas
DEF

Padecimiento patológico que se adquiere a través de las relaciones sexuales, entre otros: gonorrea, sífilis, chancros, herpes genital, candidiasis genital, molusco contagioso, uretritis inespecífica y desde luego, el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana causante del sida.

ITS provides a forum where academic, private sector, and government communities can meet to identify pressing new problems and issues, share research results, and form new relationships and approaches to address outstanding issues. ... The goal of ITS is to research and analyze issues related to the emergence of a global information society. The organization places particular emphasis on the interrelationships among socioeconomic, technological, legal, regulatory, competitive, organizational, policy, and ethical dimensions of the issues it addresses.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Building Insulation and Acoustical Design
  • Acoustics (Physics)
  • Materials Engineering
DEF

A single number rating system which represents the sound transmission loss performance of a wall [partition, door or window].

CONT

Construction shall provide a sound transmission class rating of not less than 45 between dwelling units in the same building and between a dwelling unit and any space common to 2 or more dwelling units.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Isolation et acoustique architecturale
  • Acoustique (Physique)
  • Génie des matériaux
CONT

Les mesures en laboratoire de la perte de transmission de son sont effectuées par bandes de tiers d'octave de 125 à 4 000 Hz. Cependant, il est commode de comparer les ensembles de construction à l'aide d'un seul nombre. La désignation la plus couramment utilisée en Amérique du Nord est l'indice de transmission du son (ITS). Cet indice est obtenu en comparant la courbe des pertes de transmission mesurée d'un ensemble à des courbes ITS de référence. Seule une partie limitée de la courbe des pertes de transmission est autorisée à descendre au-dessous de la courbe des indices de transmission du son. Plus l'ITS est élevé, meilleures sont les caractéristiques acoustiques de la cloison.

CONT

Les éléments de construction séparant deux logements d'un même bâtiment ou séparant un logement d'un espace commun à plusieurs logements doivent avoir un indice de transmission du son d'au moins 45.
