Record 2 2007-01-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthodontics
CONT

A convertible buccal tube is an appliance used by orthodontists during an early phase of treatment to correct malpositioned teeth. The tube is essentially an orthodontic bracket in which the buccal or cheek-facing side of the usual arch-wire slot is closed by a plate to form a tubular opening of typically rectangular cross section. The plate is brazed or spot-welded in place, and can be removed to convert the buccal tube to a conventional bracket during later stages of treatment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Orthodontie
OBS

vestibulaire : [...] En bouche, définit les faces dentaires et autres éléments anatomiques situés en regard des faces internes des joues et des lèvres. [Il s'agit ici d'un synonyme de «buccal».]

Record 3 2006-08-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Reaction of identity. A qualitative demonstration that two reactants have identical immunologic specificity. Symmetrical precipitin lines form and meet precisely at a point when the materials are placed equidistant from one another and from a single, specific antibody in a double immuno-diffusion plate.... In a reaction of nonidentity, the precipitin lines are asymmetrical in location and intensity, and cross one another at an unpredictable intersection.

Key term(s)
  • reaction of non-identity

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Immunodiffusion sur plaques (Ouchterlony). - [...] Si, au contraire (de la réaction d'identité), deux solutions antigéniques différentes sont disposées dans deux puits adjacents, les traits de précipitation vont se couper. C'est la réaction de non-identité.

Record 4 2002-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Space Shuttle stops within 50 meters of Mir, which is approximately one-half the length of a football field. From that position the Space Shuttle waits for clearance from Mission Control to continue. When the command is given to continue, the Reaction Control System is activated again and the Space Shuttle closes in on Mir at a speed of about 0. 05 meters per second until it reaches a distance of about 9 meters. There, the Space Shuttle stops again and waits for approximately 5 minutes. The Commander and Pilot make sure they can see the docking target clearly and fine-tune the alignment of the Space Shuttle with the docking target. A large black cross called the Stand-off Cross is mounted 30 centimeters(cm) above the back plate in the center of the target. When the Commander has the Stand-off Cross squarely in line with the docking target, he or she maneuvers the Space Shuttle and makes contact with the docking ring. Once a series of hooks is engaged, the Space Shuttle is then successfully docked with Mir.

OBS

docking target: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
OBS

Voici le module d'habitation Zvezda [...] Le «bras» que l'on voit en bas à gauche porte une cible [d'amarrage] dont se servent justement les Progress et les Soyouz pour se guider.

OBS

cible d'amarrage : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
