OBS

glass ionomer cement; ionic polymer cement; glass polyalkenoate cement; polyelectrolyte cement: terms and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

DEF

Matériau dentaire constitué d'une phase solide en poudre de verre de silicate d'alumine mélangé à un acide polymérique dont la prise s'effectue grâce à une réaction acido-basique.

OBS

Les ciments ionomères de verre ont des propriétés mécaniques comparables à celles des phosphates de zinc mais sont beaucoup moins solubles en bouche.

OBS

ciment au verre ionomère; ciment à polymère ionique; ciment au polyalkénoate de verre; ciment polyélectrolyte : termes et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO).

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of National Programs (Canadian)
  • Hygiene and Health
OBS

The Link to Health program, a gentle fitness program for adultsover 55, began in 1969 as the "Fun and Fitness" program in Western Canada. In 1996, the Canadian Red Cross re-designed it to have a more holistic approach and renamed it Link to Health. It began as "Fun and Fitness" in the Toronto Region in 1991 and has grown and changed over the years to what it is today. Originally offered in nursing homes and senior's centers, Link to Health eventually moved to more accessible locations for seniors who live independently in their communities. It has always been the only program of its kind offered free of charge to participants.

  • Telecommunications Transmission
DEF

A form of quadrature phase shift keying where the quadrature component of the signal is offset from the in-phase component by half a symbol period.

OBS

As a result the amplitude does not cross zero, and this reduces the peak to average ratio. This has advantages for power amplifiers because it reduces the peak to average ratio and as a result it is used in the reverse link for CDMA [code division multiple access] transmissions.
