A cascade reaction involving electrons in a region with a sufficiently high electric field.  1, record 1, English, - Townsend%20avalanche

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

This reaction must also occur in a medium that can be ionized, such as air. It is exploited in devices such as Geiger counters and Proportional counters to detect and measure the energy of an ionizing radiation. Incoming radiation ionizes one of the atoms or molecules in the medium.  1, record 1, English, - Townsend%20avalanche

Quand un rayonnement ionisant pénètre à l'intérieur du tube geiger-muller, il ionise le gaz, c'est-à-dire qu'il arrache des électrons, par effet Compton. Ces électrons se multiplient très vite par avalanche électronique, dite «avalanche de Townsend», rendant le gaz conducteur pendant un temps bref (phénomène de décharge) : les électrons sont accélérés par la haute tension, ils percutent des molécules de gaz et provoquent ainsi d'autres ionisations en cascade.  3, record 1, French, - avalanche%20de%20Townsend

A Novel Mutation in the Sex Determining Region on Y(SRY) Gene as an Etiology of Familial Swyer Syndrome. Swyer Syndrome(SWY) is a failure of testicular differentiation that results in 46, XY sex reversed females. Unlike sporadic SWY, familial cases of SWY appear to be transmitted through 46, XX carrier females and maybe due to X-linked or autosomal genes downstream from SRY in the sexual differentiation cascade. Carriers of a mutation in SRY would be expected to be affected with SWY and be sterile. This report describes two siblings with SWY who have been previously found to have a normal SRY gene with polymerase chain reaction(PCR)  4, record 2, English, - sex%20determining%20region%20on%20Y

Allergy, Immune Complexes and the Complement Cascade. The complement system consists of a series of proteins which function as a triggered enzyme cascade and play an important role in inflammation.  1, record 3, English, - complement%20cascade

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Enzyme cascade.-The complement components interact with each other so that the products of one reaction form the enzyme for the next, thus a small initial stimulus can trigger an increasing cascade of activity.  2, record 3, English, - complement%20cascade

La formation de pores met en jeu le «complexe d'attaque de membrane» de la cascade du complément. Il est formé de l'assemblée supramoléculaire des cinq derniers constituants (C5b, C6, C7, C8, C9), qui s'insère dans la membrane cible en formant des lésions tubulaires.  1, record 3, French, - cascade%20du%20compl%C3%A9ment
