[Apoptosis is a] naturally occurring, non-pathologic form of cell death distinct from necrosis, characterized by condensation of the nucleus and cytoplasm, extensive bleeding, and breaking up of the cell into a number of membrane-bound fragments (apoptotic bodies), which are then either phagocytosed by neighboring cells or shed into a lumen. 2, record 3, English, - condensation

En réponse à un signal d'activation incomplet, la cellule s'autodétruit en quelques heures. La fragmentation de ses chromosomes s'accompagne d'une condensation périphérique du noyau. La cellule se scinde en petits ballons, sans lésion de la membrane ni des constituants intracellulaires. Ces ballons sont intégrés par les cellules voisines. Quand le signal d'activation est complet, la cellule se multiplie et acquiert des propriétés nouvelles. 2, record 3, French, - condensation

The physical process by which vapour passes into the liquid or solid form. It occurs either when air is cooled to its "dew-point" or when air becomes saturated by evaporation into it. Further cooling will cause the excess vapour in the air to be condensed on nuclei as minute water droplets or ... into the solid form of "hoar-frost". 2, record 4, English, - condensation

The process by which water vapor becomes a liquid such as dew, fog, or cloud or a solid like snow; condensation in the atmosphere is brought about by either of two processes: cooling of air to its dew point, or addition of enough water vapor to bring the mixture bo the point of saturation (that is, the relative humidity is raised to 100). 2, record 5, English, - condensation

In meteorology, condensation is considered almost exclusively with reference to water vapor which changes to dew, fog, or cloud. It is indispensable to avoid confusing condensation with precipitation, for the former is by no means equivalent to the latter, though it must always precede the latter. 3, record 5, English, - condensation

La liquéfaction est un cas spécifique de condensation, le passage, d'un gaz à l'état liquide. La sublimation, le passage d'un gaz à l'état solide est un autre cas de condensation. Il ne faut pas, surtout en météorologie, confondre ces notions. En physique, pourtant, parce que la liquéfaction est le cas le plus courant de condensation, on considère souvent que les termes «liquéfaction» et «condensation» sont synonymes. 3, record 5, French, - condensation

Dans le cas de la vapeur d'eau ce phénomène est à l'origine des nuages, des précipitations, de la rosée. En se condensant, une certaine masse d'eau libère la même quantité de chaleur qu'elle aurait absorbé pour s'évaporer; c'est la chaleur latente de vaporisation. 4, record 5, French, - condensation
