DEF

A filter for the purification of water, in which water that has been previously treated, usually by coagulation and sedimentation, is passed downward through a filtering medium. The medium consists of a layer of sand, prepared anthracite coal... usually 24-30 in. thick, resting on a supporting bed of gravel or a porous medium... The filtrate is removed by an underdrainage system which also distributes the wash water.

CONT

Les filtres à sable rapides traitent de [...] 25 à 50 fois plus que les filtres lents. [...] [Ceci] est rendu possible par la coagulation et la sédimentation préalables [...] Le filtre est constitué par une couche de sable ou d'anthracite, de 45 à 60 cm de hauteur, posé sur des couches de matériaux inertes [...] reposant elles-mêmes sur un fond muni d'un système de drainage.

OBS

On trouve dans le Dictionnaire technique de l'eau et des questions connexes (COLEA), 1968, p.105 l'expression «filtre rapide à sable», mais il vaut mieux ne pas l'employer, parce qu'elle est mal construite. Le Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada (DADIF), 1967, p. 18 nous en donne la raison dans son article sur la place de l'adjectif en précisant que «Le français définit avant de qualifier».

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blood
CONT

Hepatectomy under stable arterial pressure is considered the best surgical method to preserve the viability of the isolated liver. When surgery was performed on dogs, liver transplantation with the application of 2 venous shunts(between jugo-femoralis and jugo-portalis) proved to be the best method. It caused blood decompression from the interior vena cava and portal venous system to the superior vena cava. Insufficient blood transfusion deteriorated the coagulation indices. Blood rehabilitation during liver transplantation was necessary.
