Record 3 2011-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
  • Animal Reproduction
CONT

[The] silkworm egg is very tiny[:] it weighs only 1/30,000th of an ounce, it's almost the size of a poppy seed, [and it's] oval-shaped and dark gray. Each little egg has in it not only the live beginning of a new animal, but also enough liquid food to keep it alive until hatching time. Keep silkworm eggs in a warm place (65-75°F). When the larva inside the egg is ready to hatch (7 to 10 days), depending on the climate, it will eat the eggshell to poke it and come out from it.

CONT

The eggs of the silkworm, which are also called silk seeds, are minute.

Record 4 2008-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrodiagnosis
DEF

A noninvasive method of monitoring the movement of the vocal folds by measuring the variation of impedance to a weak alternating current through the tissues of the neck.

CONT

Another method for monitoring vocal-fold vibrations is electroglottography. A weak high-frequency voltage between two electrodes placed on the neck passes through the larynx. Changes in the measured voltage generate a wave on the electroglottograph that illustrates vocal-fold contact.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électrodiagnostiques
DEF

Méthode non invasive de mesure de l'impédance électrique trans-laryngée, au moyen d'électrodes placées de part et d'autre du cartilage thyroïde.

CONT

La glottographie électrique, ou électroglottographie, est une méthode utilisée en physiologie phonatoire permettant d'étudier les mouvements d'ouverture et de fermeture de la glotte lors de la phonation (électroglottographie phonatoire).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Electrodiagnóstico
DEF

Método no invasivo para el estudio de la actividad de los músculos laríngeos mediante el registro monitorizado de su actividad eléctrica.

Record 5 2008-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
DEF

A non-invasive, electrical impedance device that was developed for observing vocal fold contraction during phonation.

CONT

Electroglottograph [...] an AC-powered device that employs a pair of electrodes that are placed in contact with the skin on both sides of the larynx and held in place by a collar. It is intended to measure the electrical impedance of the larynx to aid in assessing the degree of closure of the vocal cords, confirm laryngeal diagnosis, aid behavioral treatment of voice disorders, and aid research concerning the laryngeal mechanism.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et appareillages médicaux
DEF

Dispositif qui permet d'obtenir une image de l'accolement et de l'ouverture des cordes vocales au moyen de la mesure de l'impédance électrique entre deux électrodes placées de part et d'autre du larynx.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Instrumental médico
DEF

Sistema que proporciona información sobre el cierre de las cuerdas vocales, mediante la medición de la resistencia eléctrica presente entre dos electrodos colocados alrededor del cuello.
